Plot Summary: Elizabeth, a prize-winning student, is headed for a prestigious college. As she's packing to leave, her mother harangues her about her choice of school, establishing the modus operandi for what will prove to be the turbulent core of their relationship: an ongoing game of emotional extortion. When Elizabeth arrives at university, she quickly befriends her roommate Ruby and almost immediately recreates the same powder keg she has just left behind. The situation is exacerbated by her visits to a rather suspicious psychiatrist. Matters deteriorate further when Elizabeth runs into her father and when she decides that her most recent boyfriend Rafe represents deliverance. Her only choice, ultimately, is Prozac--the wonder drug of the nineties. However, before long, Elizabeth is wondering whether the drug is really helping her--or running her life.

Comments: I loved this movie. Elizabeth Wurtzel is my favorite author and Prozac Nation is one of her best books, if not the best. Her openness about her life and sarcasm make her amazing. She's truly an inspiration! I would recommend this movie and her books(Prozac Nation, Bitch, etc.)to everyone!
