This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
first off, the acting is really horrible. the only decent performance is the main couple, but sjeez, where did they pick up the actors?also at times the movie seems like an excuse for a selling soundtrack, which i believe it partly is, too, and that is just unacceptable.on top it might seem like a movie that means well with the kid experiencing his first love and being deeper than everyone else, but the money that's in the producers eye just klings away in the background.
