Billy Bloom: Sometimes, I dream I can fly. But I'm *so* exhausted from flapping my wings and the higher I soar, it reminds me of how little I fit in with them on the ground. So, I rise and I rise and... I realize that I don't wanna fly anymore. They never knew what they were looking up at anyway.

I really enjoyed this movie, it keeps moving so it does not become "I knew that was going to happen" moments during the film. Bette Midler is wonderful as always (she could read me the dictionary and I would be happy), The characters really grow on you and make you remember these "types" (football star, princess, outcast, etc) during your high school years, perfectly played by this cast. Someone of the best and moving scenes include Celia Weston, who is so amazing in everything she appears in. She is so under utilized in cinema, she is the main course and she is always being displayed as the appetizer of the meal. Someone please give her a role that is the center of the story, her acting talent is magical.
