April Showers

Aroview: Sad-eyed dramatization of the Columbine High School massacre follows one particular student as he struggles to deal with the aftermath and the loss of his friend April.

The shooting Much of the violence is understandably implied rather than shown, but once the shooting is out of the way the film lapses into gratuitous crying montages and plot contrivances that rob the film of the power it should have had.
