 Rating 3   Written on March 22, 2004
   Summary: Good Low Budget Entertainment
All Over Me is definitely nothing worth shouting about but it has its good points. Allison Folland ( who I thought would become a bigger actor in the mid nineties ) plays Claude realistically though her acting at times comes off as draggy compared to her co-star, the actress who plays Ellen. This is a film where girls obviously rule the world and if you're not comfortable with that you won't like this movie. All Over Me is a day in the life of Claude so needless to say you have to like this character or the movie will suck from the get go.

This film is very realistic and straightforward. It is one of few films that deals with homosexuality in a delicate light ( and not just to exploit it ). All Over Me also shows how two friends can get torn apart when one becomes involved in a mentally abusive relationship. At first we believe Claude is the needy one but as the film goes along we realize Ellen is the one who's latching onto Claude the most. The co-stars are lively but the character who steals the show is Ellen. She brings a weird spark to her role and keeps the film from swarming into that laid back " girly-girl " theme most chick films turn into. All Over Me keeps its edge from beginning to end. It may not be a huge blockbuster, ( I thought I was the only one on the planet who'd ever heard of this film ) but it is worth one screening. Give it a shot. Especially if you don't mind sampling the talent of good, semi-popular actors.

   Summary: A solid buy
This just happens to be the movie that hooked me onto the music of the Murmurs, Leisha Hailey, one of the main 'Murmurs' has a role. It is a great coming of age tale about a girl coming to terms with a friend's bad judgements, the death of another close friend, and the meeting of an understanding punk rocker. Alison Folland does a great job portraying the main character Claude in her awkward, but necessary, journey to knowing herself. I love the fact that she stays who she is no matter what people say to her. It is a tough feat to eat candy and ice cream when your best friend calls you a pig and your mother calls you fat. It's a charming movie with characters I swear I have met before.

   Summary: Not your typical sappy, dopey, coming-of-age scenario
All Over Me is one of those films that's hard to forget and easy to watch more than once. The story, set in New York, revolves around teenagers Claude and Ellen. Claude is shy, intelligent, sensitive and beautiful in her own way. Ellen, who is her best friend is comically stunning, angry, the epitomy of the "who gives a... attitude", and given over to dark, self-destructiveness. Claude finds herself in love with Ellen as the two spend time together, trying to form a band and hanging out in the neighborhood. Ellen on the other hand is persuaded over to the side of her older, drug dealer boyfriend who is jealous of the relationship formed between the two girls. Throw in a neighbor, Luke, who looks alot like a younger, shorter Iggy Pop and the story progresses. One night Luke gets into a spat with Ellen's testosterone-charged, dictating boyfriend which ultimately leads to tragedy. In the midst of this commotion, Claude finds herself fond of a cute, fuschia-haired, pixie played by Leisha Hailey from The Murmurs. Both Claude and Ellen are left to figure out what they should do about the incident concerning Luke. Claude confides in her friend played by Wilson Cruz (My So Called Life) as Ellen just does what Ellen does best: drugs, booze and chaos. Still in love with Ellen, Claude is finding it difficult to let herself get close to the girl she just met but confessions of her love to Ellen just seem to infuriate Ellen or confuse Ellen (one time she tells Claude she won't go anywhere with her and the next minute she's calling Claude her "knight in shining armor"?? Hmm). Ultimately, the friendship collapses as Claude does the right thing concerning her neighbor and Ellen's boyfriend is arrested. The ending seems like Claude's new freedom without Ellen - she cleans her room, starts practicing her guitar with her fuschia-haired girlfriend and allows herself to be in love once again. This doesn't seem like one of those sappy, coming-of-age stories that's just waiting for the laugh-track to go off - it has substance, real characters, and relevant problems to deal with. On another note, it's not so dark that you just want to go in your room with the door shut and cry - it leaves hope and allows you to feel that there are noble people as well as sinister ones that exist. It also portrays different kinds of beautiful girls instead of that "popular, cheerleader" cliche. This movie is excellent, thought-provoking, feeling and substantial.

   Summary: Pretty Good!
I don't know quite where to start on this movie.
It's about Claude,a slightly insecure teen. Claude's best friend Ellen has this rapid self-destruction thing going on; and it looks as though she is taking Claude with her. Ellen's boyfiend Mark, is an overly aggressive jerk who seems to be the root of most problems. When one of Claude's new friends is murdered it sets the whole movie in motion.
I didn't like the movie that much because it was kind of depressing, but for some reason I liked it anyway. It was a true to life tale and it was all worth it in the end when Claude finds the strength to stand up to Ellen and get on with her life.What I really love about this film is the relationship between Lucy and Claude.Definatly a gotta see.

   Summary: A Total Waste of Time
This movie was dreadful. I kept waiting and waiting for the plot to thicken, however it didn't. The plot, if there even was one, was extremely poorly developed. If you want to see a true movie about love and the boundaries it crosses, buy Lost and Delirious. That was definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen and it illustrates the the turbulent relationship of two girls at a boarding school.
