an empty movie for a self-absorbed audience

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2008)

Being idealistic is not always a good thing. Especially when it involves force feeding your own idealogical values on others that have lived a more worthwhile life than an insignificant, insipid 23 year old child. He is not a stranger in a foreign land, he is a spoiled rich kid who is afraid of growing up and living in the real world. The L.A. scene was disgusting to watch, not everyone can run away from poverty like he could, only a dumb white kid could get away with the antics he pulled.
There are many problems with the film, including the music, but the greatest failure was the lack of creative thought in a person's life. There were so many ways he could have "stuck it to the man" that would have given him the freedom and experience he was looking for, but instead his pathetic dreams were wasted with his meandering through America. At least we don't have to hear the story about him making it "in the wild" and spouting off pompous B.S. about living life.
