Made me want to die

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2010)

I tried to approach this movie with an open mind but even by the end of the opening credits i was starting to hate it. Every thing about this movie is trying oh so hard to be kooky, different and clever. It isn't. Some technical aspects of the movie were competent, there were no boom shots and it stayed in sync. That's the positives, so my review is now balanced. The lead actress looks thirty, that may sound like a nasty personal comment but considering she's playing 14 or 15 i think its valid. The characters are so twee and fake i could never see them as real and the dialogue was painfully forced. I managed to stay with the movie for about twenty minutes until i wanted to beat my head repeatedly off the wall. This movie reminded me a little of my own teenage years, you know those really annoying kids who act all cool and alternative but behind it are ultra normal and conservative and study really hard. They all end up as architects and HR people and the like and i've always hated them. This movie was clearly written by and for these people, which is why it disgusts me so, it's fake, fake, fake.
