American Teen
Tonight my boyfriend and I went to a prescreening of this movie called “American Teen” and while I totally see the appeal for some people, my recommendation is as follows:
Don’t see it. Snoozers.
The thing is, the bf loved it, so I have to wonder if I am wrong. But like. Oh my god. It was so boring. And the few parts that did make me laugh or think were just not enough. Mostly I felt disappointment in the movie — and in the audience, for their inappropriate responses to so many things. Said reactions were a miserable reflection of some of the shitfacedness that happens in high school and it was clear the audience members were at home in the movie.
What a bunch of fucks, and aside, what a bad movie anyway.
So I don’t know, I don’t think those are the strongest or best reasons I didn’t like the movie, but I am so fried out after having sat through it that I can’t really say anything more solid. I imagine I could when I was more clear-headed. 52 minutes into the whole thing I looked at the time and was ready to kill myself that it had seriously been less than an hour.
Oi! So props to M&M for skipping out on this one.
EDIT: Here’s a review I found that says gives a decent summary and makes a snide comment or two without actually trashing the movie that someone curious may like to read.
