What a bummer!

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2007)

How superficial can a film get? This one certainly does its level best to outdo its predecessors. I was mildly amused when I watched the film, but just as sometimes films become better after reflecting on them, others deteriorate, and I am afraid this film falls into the latter group. Not one of the characters has any depth, they are all stereotypes, from the heroin abusing grandfather, to the vaguely Christian mother, the mad-at-the-world 15 year old, the loser father ... do I need to go on? None of the characters say or do anything worth remembering after the film is over. The plot is paper thin, and the actual shooting, scenery, props, insipid to the extreme. In short, I fail to see why this film ever got made.
