Sad love story

iheartkp

I saw this movie for the first time a couple years ago when I first went off to school.  It was about characters my same age group, facing similar problems and it was very easy to relate to.  Liza Minelli plays Pookie Adams, a not exactly "normal" girl who meets a boy on the bus who is more normal, but still a bit geeky.  They become friends and eventually fall in love. However, as the school year progresses the boy decides he really is not satisfied to be with just Pookie, and needs his "space." Her outbursts and anti-everything personality make him into a social outcast.  One feels sorry for Pookie when he tries to break up with her, but can also relate to the bad situation the boy is in.  It's a very sad movie because it is so true to life.
