Tragic

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2011)

I will firstly say i had never read the book or comic or whatever it was prior to seeing this movie and i went to see it on the recommendation that it was a refreshing teen comedy like nothing seen before.
I'm glad i had never seen anything like it before or after, i can honestly say that it is the worst film i have ever seen in my life and probably the worst i ever will see. I can deal with strange films that are at least entertaining with some good characters. This, however, did not in any way allow engagement with the unbelievable characters and instead left me detached and outraged at such a dire storyline.
It features a regular (ish) boy who manages to find himself not only with two girlfriends since he seems too pathetic to tell either of them but also having to fight off a number of evil ex's in a comic book/video game/power rangers style set of battles which occur completely out of the blue, almost as if the developers forgot they weren't designing a video game. That's as far as i care to explain the plot as there really is nothing else to it. For anyone obsessed with terrible corny Teen dramas and Tekken with a slight flavour of Pokemon i guess it would be a dream come true.
I'm not trying to have a go at the many users who have rated this movie so high and have indeed reviewed it so positively but i just don't understand the attraction. I feel the same way Tom Hanks did in Big when he made the insightful comment: "I don't get it".
I would not see this movie again even if you paid me and it is the only film in which i wanted to walk out of the cinema, demand my money back, and forget i ever saw it.
Truly the worst film i have ever seen, not entertaining or funny but pointless and immature; thus i don't feel i can recommend this film to any audience. would give it 0 if i could.
