Now I might as well come out and say it: This movie is way better than the book. I hardly ever get to say that!
Story:
Annie just graduated and she just doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her mum wants her to be some sort of hot-shot financial whiz on Wall Street, but [...]

Oh, so this is the movie that Lindsay Lohan was making when she was in all that trouble with drugs and partying. Wait. When was she not in trouble?
