    High school debate is not rocket science.

    Quite the misleading title, as this movie is -not- about rocket science. It's more about high school debate. But it's not even really about that either. Maybe I've just missed the point of this movie entirely, but I certainly do know that if life and love -were- rocket science, I'd be able to understand it much more than I do now.
