Welcome to Rise of the Gay Cinephile's millennial teen cinema season, Scream As If You Know 10 Things I Hate About Band Camp (or How Millennial Teen Movies Taught Me Everything I Know About Sex, Friendship and the American Dream)!

This week, we're delving into the second and more bleak half of 2002, and we're discussing Jake Kasdan's fun dramedy, Orange County; Adam Shankman's bland and badly written A Walk to Remember; Kátia Lund and Fernando Meirelles' neo-noir masterpiece, City of God; Ken Loach's hard hitting British working-class drama, Sweet Sixteen; and Roger Avary's dark takedown of teen comedies, The Rules of Attraction.
