Crazy/Beautiful

Crazy/Beautiful (stylized as crazy/beautiful) is a 2001 American teen romantic drama film starring Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez (in his film debut). It is largely set at Palisades Charter High School and the surrounding area, including Downtown Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and East Los Angeles. Poor Latino Carlos Nuñez and the troubled congressman's daughter Nicole Oakley inadvertantly meet far from their school Pacific Palisades High, and soon form an unlikely relationship despite others' opposition. The film was released on June 29, 2001, to mostly favorable reviews and modestly recovered its production budget.
