This movie is pretentious trash! Get over it.

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2007)

Oh my GOD! If I have to keep listening to people saying this movie is good in any way I will scream. It is pretentious crap. C-R-A-P. The plot makes no sense! In fact there is virtually no plot at all. Even the people who like the movie have said that they have watched it numerous times and still don't fully understand it. It is not a movie to be thought about and pondered as some would lead you to believe. Just trying to think about it is guaranteed to short circuit your brain because there is no logic to this movie. It tries to be witty and cool and dark and funny, but in reality it is just dumb and half baked. The acting is very poor, Jake is at his worst here. The director must have told him to make the same face and deliver his lines in the same monotone way for the whole film. The cinematography is also poor, it looks like a bad student film; a first attempt at doing something stylized. I could have made the same movie with my hand held. I can't understand why all these teens like it. I am 16, but I hate this movie. The only reason that so many people like it must be because the majority of people are dumb and can't tell if a movie is good or not. Also a lot of kids who like it are trying to be non-conformist and emo. They think if the adults don't like this movie it is because "the man" is trying to keep it down and rebel by liking it. I went to see it thinking that I would like it, and I really tried to like it but it is just bad. It is a pretension magnet for people who think they know good film. Please do not see this movie, especially if you are not between the ages of 14-22.
