| User ReviewTracy YGood story line and semi-good acting...Jorge Garcia did a good job going from Lost to this tough guy role. |
| User ReviewDon RI liked the movie because it get's lost in itself, and if you allow yourself, you will too. All the characters I thought did a decent job of making you care... the ending though tried to be too anti-hollywood (spoiler warning) and not go with the guy get's the girl, or does he, and it leaves it a little too open ended for me. It makes you feel like what you just watched was a waste. |
| User ReviewCaleb CThe film feels like it was made in the early 90's or late 80's. It's almost like someone took really old film equipment and decided to make a film with it. The picture itself is really something to look at. Where it lacks is the editing process that went into it. It really did feel like somewhat of a first draft of a film. Otherwise, this is about as raw and natural as an independant film can come. It is quite the serious piece of work and does have some mildly amusing elements to add come comedic elements. This story does feel quite real for the most part, though and is very well acted in most places. This is quite the find, and thanks to my friend Kristina, I now have a copy of it. |
| User ReviewOlga KUnknown but very organic actors, enjoyed dialogs as well, great debut for the director I think |
| User ReviewWynne Pa little dissappointed and a little interesting at the same time. It is portrayed as a comedy but is lacking in the humor department but has a good message. Jason Segal has a creep role but as mentioned does it well and the girl is hot. The ending was stupid and solidified my decision to never watch the movie again. Worth the watch but not a second time |
| User ReviewGiulianna EIt could have been better. I would have shot it completely different. I felt it sucked when it came to directing. And some of the story made me go "huh wait so." |
| User ReviewHeather MI'm the first to review it? I should read iMDB first... always. I thought it was a comedy because 1. Jason Segel, 2. Jorge Garcia... well, it wasn't. It was the opposite of funny. The movie is OK, the story is good, and the actors aren't bad. It's that annoying music that got me to lower the rating. Also, the pace... it's very slow. |
| User ReviewJames HI don't understand why everyone thinks this is awesome |
| User ReviewAnthony HJorge Garcia just wasn't enough to make this movie less boring... |
| User ReviewShaughn Bbleh. Somewhat ok story line of the 70s drug/alcohol high school era. I didn't think the story really took me anywhere. Not worth the 2 hrs. Jorge Garcia did pull off the bad ass character rather well. It was interesting to see him play a very different type of character than Hurley. |
