Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Definitely not worth spending any of your time on.The Curiosity of Chance feels like a movie made by high school kids who had access to good equipment and who had seen ever John Hughes teen movie many many times and L-O-V-E-D the 80s.The film looks good, is decently shot and edited, has believable costumes, and decent 80s tunes.But the script is awful. The story feels as if it were made up as they went along but you know it wasn't because the dialog is so wordy, clunky, and stiff you wonder if it was written with industrial equipment. The humor is low, one expects to hear farting and burping throughout the film. When the vice-principal is introduced it's mentioned by Chance's narration that she smells bad. She smells bad! Hilarious. (Some might claim that the Curiosity of Chance is a send up of high school dramas but if that was the intent it fails.)The story and characters are nothing but clichés and stereotypes. Chance is a Rosemary Clooney loving vintage clothes wearing drama kid who thinks a top hat and bow tie are sensible attire for his first day at a new school. Not very far into the film Chance ends up in the dressing room of a drag show listening to big bitchy queens dish out pat advice. Shortly after that Chance is putting on his mother's old dresses and makeup.But at least Chance isn't alone as everyone in the film is a stereotype or movie cliché...Chance has a much younger sister who is wise beyond her years, the jocks are jerks, the outcasts are all friends, and so on and on and on.

OK, well a lot of people seem to dislike this film, but I enjoyed it quite a bit? :)Is it dull at some moments? Yes. Is it often clichéd? Most definitely.However, as a low budget foreign film, I think it accomplished more than most overpriced American films! In fact, if you want to watch an LGBT film, you have to look overseas as American cinema doesn't even really touch the topic (at least not that often, unless it's a hollow stereotypical gay character).What I liked about this film? I simply enjoyed the sarcasm and just soaked in all the "clicheness"! It was very colorful and I was able to connect with the characters at some level. Not exactly high art cinematography, but let's face it: most films we watch for entertainment aren't (well, at least for me). If you like cute stupid films like Legally Blonde, Clueless, etc...I think you might enjoy this film?

If you're looking for 90 minutes or so of mindless entertainment, you could do worse than The Curiosity of Chance. As others have mentioned, it is not original in any way. The gay stereotype as creative outsider is old. The jock as thick-headed homophobe is tired. And the supporting characters are nothing more than stock creatures from any coming-of-age, coming-out-of-the-closet story set in high school.Set in "the 1980's", TCOC seems to repel some viewers because they do not understand the setting (an American high school in Flemish-speaking Belgium). While this is not explained anywhere in the film, there are a lot of clues. The houses are not typically suburban America, the license plates are clearly foreign, the big sport is soccer, people have accents, etc. I'm not clear why the writer/director did not make this clear, as it might have added some interest. Instead, it seems like he tried to keep it country-neutral, as in, this could have been anywhere. But that simply leaves a viewer scratching his head wondering why all these "American" high school kids and their teachers speak English with a Flemish accent.Set that aside. Just pretend that you know that this is set in Europe, in an American-style, English-immersion high school. Ex pats send their kids there, so there are some Americans. Then you can enjoy the flick.Think part Edge of Seventeen, Get Real, Rock Haven, and Grande École mushed together. There are worse ways to spend an hour and a half.

From the get-go, I was constructing in my mind, the plot I'd like to see develop, then I began to realize that it was not going to happen, and go down a rather predictable path. I like a story line of forbidden love, fish out of water, and people that can't stand each other, thrown together and changing. I knew as soon as they showed the hunky shirtless neighbor, that he would be the eventual focus. The protagonist, being constantly bothered by the homophobe jock, brushes his abuse off his shoulder, preferring not to empower by acknowledgment. Meanwhile the jock's friend lives next door, and though intrigued with our hero, is torn between being cool and his allegiance to the jock, or being associated with an undesirable. What would have made a more interesting story, is to have the main character and the jock, reluctantly thrown together, (what I thought sure was to develop with the sports interviewer subplot, that never went anywhere) and have the jock realize that the protagonist isn't so bad at all, if not fall for him if it could made believable. I'd also get rid of the steroid use issue. Of course this would probably change it to a drama, but it wasn't too much of a comedy to begin with. Overall an enjoyable movie though there was no need whatsoever to set it in Europe and peppered with characters with questionable accents. As far as the 80's time frame, good music and quirky fashion was provided but I think that it could have easily been done in the present.
