Not Spectacular for me. I kept waiting for something to happen... I have to say I dont find a couple of perpetually drunk teenagers that redeeming. 
 I kept waiting for something to happen to make these kids realize having a constant buzz & driving while drunk was maybe not a great idea, but no. (view spoiler)[ When the girl got hit by the car I thought, oh! Here it is, she will die, he will rehab, lessons learned, lives changed. Nope. No consequences and she apologizes to him? WTF! (hide spoiler)] 
 **edit** I watched the movie and in a weird twist I think the movie was a little better than the book. The teenagers were somewhat more likable, and the screenwriters changed a lot of the little issues in the book, and thankfully cut out some of the dull monologue. The main issues of drinking and driving stayed the same. Personally I'd skip the book, and just watch the movie. I think that might be the first time I've ever said that...
