5/13: Former couple Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis team together for the first of two films, Too Young to Die?, with the other being Kalifornia.

Juliette Lewis looks amateurish when she throws a temper tantrum. If I was supposed to be sympathetic with her character's problems, it didn't work. At the end, the director did the same for the teenagers on death row, but to me, they are where they belong.

Here lies the dilemma: do you want to be with Brad Pitt in spite of him supplying you drugs including heroin and ecstacy? Come on, it's Brad Pitt who was twice voted the Sexiest Man Alive.

By the way, the film is based on the story of Attina Cannaday and David Gray. Attina's death penalty was reversed as her sentence got commuted to life. In 2008, she got paroled. Gray remains in prison for life. As for the facts of the case, the story is fake. Plus, there's no such thing as gas chamber for capital punishment in Oklahoma.

All in all, Too Young to Die? plays out like Lifetime Movie of the Week, but it's been enjoyable.
