The Rules of Attraction Ratings & Reviews
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 3, 2025A smart, stylish black comedy cleverly masquerading as just another teen movie.
- matpe23April 2, 2026Deep. There is a lot of subtlety and things for you to think about while watching this. It has a lot to say and it was ahead of it's time.
- tnt.psdMarch 2, 2026ONE OF THE WORST FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN I was not fond of this at all. This was brought to you by the writer of the Silent Hill movie. Never slit your wrists underwater; it's a big no-no. "I try to fart and instead shit my pants."
