overrated

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2004)

this film has a sort of indie, irreverent, youthful feel... maybe that's why people give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that it has something to say. unfortunately it has NOTHING to say. dialogue was brazenly unrealistic and facile, storyline was stiff and unoriginal, the ending really has nothing to do with anything... it was just so, so, so disappointing.
for every reason that "you can count on me" was a fantastic movie, this movie fell far, far short. i am just totally shocked that this film received the reviews that it did. people were taken in with the vibe, which, by the way, has been hacked to death already by every indie filmmaker out there.
