I just saw this movie without any biases or expectations (except knowing that a few of my friends liked it).
I must say that the first 1/3 of the movie was almost unbareable to watch. The acting was horrendous and I 'realized' that the movie was made for young teenagers as everything was ultra-dramatic and such. I found a hole in the story line about every five minutes (and I wasn't trying to!).
After this fist 1/3 of the movie passed, it finally picked up. I feel that there are still some major holes in the story, however it was plenty entertaining from there on out. I still feel that some parts were ultra-dramatic, but I enjoyed it by the end.

Here's a short list of some of the holes/oddities that I can remember:
Spoiler:
-His notebooks and page markers were the exact same kind throughout his entire childhood? Did he just happen to buy the same pen, notebook, and sticky tags every year of his life? Also, they weren't beat up or anything. They just looked way too prop-ish for a major item in the movie.
-Wouldn't Tommy have been at the sister's funeral when she commited suicide? Kutcher was there in an ultra-dramatic, borderline cheesy scene and this was at the height of when Tommy would have been mad at him. Where was he?
-Why in the world did the kid stab Tommy and blame it on Kutcher when he simply told him to just cut the rope with the metal shard?
-Since when can a kid beat up a teenager, like when Tommy does at the movie theater?
