Excellent teen movie with style AND substance, 8 October 2004
Author: Stressqueen from London, England

A very charming and sometimes funny movie about teenagers at high school, I found this piece very engaging, mainly because it brought so many memories flooding back. The agonies of fitting in, of approval, of being 'cool', NOT being a jerk, and most importantly of all, the agonies of dispensing with virginity.

It includes many staples of the teen movie genre - the coolest and most fancied boy in school,convertible cars, the local hip hangout, and of course the geeky boy who ends up being the one with depth and intelligence. It's shot in a zappy style as suits the genre and audience, but not so much that it becomes a distraction.

Short and sweet (83mins), it ticks along at a zappy pace, albeit at the expense of some character development, and there are moments that feel a bit predictable and contrived, but overall this film has a sharpness and edge so sorely lacking in the standard fare produced by Hollywood.

Wonderful tale of first love, 25 August 2004

Author: Zoominee from York, England

I enjoyed this film very much! it's a heartfelt account of a 16-year-old girl, Bea, she's the last in her group of friends who is still a virgin. And of course she's thinking a lot about sex, why is it her who hasn't done it yet...

Her girl friends set her up with an older boy (because, as they say, you shouldn't have sex for the first time with someone you love), and that guy, Anders, seems a bit aloof at first but the two understand each other well. On the other hand, Bea does have a crush on a very handsome guy from the year above her, Daniel, who seems to find her attractive too.

I feel that "Bare Bea" explains very well the feelings that go through Bea's mind while she's trying to establish herself and that the film portrays very naturally the feelings about sex and love that Bea experiences in her relationships with Anders and with Daniel.

Predictable, 18 March 2004

((Spoiler Free)) -Too silly for people over 12, too daring for kids under 12

A norwegian movie, trying to express how it really feels to be a teenager. But doesnt,

I thought that the film mostly showed Bea's frustration in being the only one at her age, that havent had sexual intercourse, as said in the commercial trailer - but no.

The events in this film is silly and if you are young, you wont familiarize with this film. This is clearly a film with the script written by a grownup.

You can predict the next scene in the film as you watch it, desperate attempts of being funny, well... I am not laughing.

Boring, predictable, unoriginal film. Not worth the money.
