According to Greta is a 2009 American independent drama film starring Hilary Duff, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Murphy, Evan Ross, and Melissa Leo. Set in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and directed by Nancy Bardawil, making her feature film directing debut. Greta is seventeen, bright, beautiful and seriously rebellious; she's full of sarcasm 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. She's not happy about it and neither are her grandparents. 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. While working at a local seafood restaurant, Greta falls for a charismatic short-order cook named Julie , 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, and tries to convince Greta to not give up on hers.
