I thought the location played well into the plot, and specifically the character of Nora. The dialogue in that scene in particular was sweet and honest, reminiscent of early Cameron Crowe. It's so rare to see a film about teens that allows itself to not be ironic. If they had allowed the rest of the story to breathe like that scene, they might have had something really special. Still, the good outweighed the bad, and the bad was mostly inoffensive (other than the unfortunate gum subplot, which served only to distract in later scenes). Anyway, I'd recommend it as a rental. A nice piece of fluff. Not exactly. I thought the location played well into the plot, and specifically the character of Nora.
