I think High school aged me would have liked this...but for high school aged reasons...

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2011)

At some point in your early years the phrase 'time is money' begins to make real world sense. You've had your first job, you've been through your first romance, you've started to realize why adults take things so seriously. The concept is new, and, similar to how I assume a teenage girl feels when she first starts getting boob attention, you feel like it's a game changing realization. You feel wise beyond your years. For a while. Then you get over it because there's so much more to figure out. This film takes that simple cliché and all the time related clichés that go with it, tries to blow it up into a full fledged concept and then beats you over the head with it over and over, and over.... WE GET IT!! There isn't any thing deeper to your message. Don't keep referring to it, just move on with a decent storyline. But the movie doesn't move on, it doesn't build on the stated premise, it just tries again and again to repeat it from a different angle or point of view.
And to make matters worse, the editing drags and has no rhythm which makes the actors look like they're doing a terrible job. They deliver lines like amateurs because the beats don't match up. Most of the actresses with speaking lines seem like they got the job after a stint on the casting couch, and lastly, in no reality should a grown man's mom look that hot. The viewers mind is going to go someplace uncomfortable every time they kiss, and it's not because of a dirty mind it's because she's a ridiculously hot 25 year old! It seriously doesn't work.
Bottom line, it needed to be better written, better directed and obviously better produced. Next time, Nicol, let people help you because we definitely now know you can screw up a good idea all by yourself.
4 stars for simply getting decent stars to play the leads even though it was a wasted opportunity.
