According to Greta is an independent drama film starring Hilary Duff, Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn, and Evan Ross. Oscar nominee Melissa Leo also appears in a small role. Set in Asbury Park, New Jersey, US, and directed by popular music video director Nancy Bardawil, making her feature film directing debut.[1]
Greta (Hilary Duff) is a trip, but she's no vacation. She's seventeen, bright, beautiful and seriously rebellious, full of sarcastic wit that barely disguises the hurt inside. Pushed aside by her mother, Karen, who is on her third marriage and counting, Greta is shipped off to her grandparents for the summer, and she's not happy about it. In fact, she tells them that she fully intends to kill herself before the summer is over and is currently compiling a notebook of suicide methods. Acerbic, yet winningly impulsive, Greta is a stunning force of nature, disrupting her grandparents' staid and settled lives and the Jersey Shore community they live in as well. Greta falls for a charismatic, young short-order cook (Evan Ross), only to find out he's been in and out of a juvenile correctional facility for stealing cars. Now he's determined to do something with his life, but as their romance heats up, Greta has to overcome the concerns of her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn, Michael Murphy) about her boyfriend's criminal past. But soon a near catastrophe gives Greta a wake-up call and demonstrates how deeply her own actions impact those around her. Greta's growing love for her elderly grandparents, along with the excitement of her first summer romance, gradually strips away her defenses, revealing the promising, charismatic young woman underneath her shell.[2]
