Truly Dreadful Film
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
There is nothing good about this movie (save the acting): not the script, not the subject matter, or the plot, or the characters. And why is the mother calling the boyfriend ("Sherm" for the first 3/4ths of the movie) "Bob" (around the 1:03:57-59 mark)? Really?
Max has done a cult classic with this movie. it's definitely a must see. Will be more popular in the coming years.
I feel like Erica was quite a peculiar teenager, but it is understandable considering the fact that she didn't have a father and her mother was always in need of boyfriends. What weirded me out the most was how Erica's sex life started where it shouldn't have. I also hated the easy way she could talk about blackmail. She only realised the seriousness of her actions when her freedom was in question. But, I did have a love-hate relationship with her. I liked her for her strenght of character and the way she didn't care what people thought of her, but I didn't like the fact that that made her do illegal things.
Not the best movie I ever saw but okay for wasting time. The idea was pretty good and the characters somewhat interesting but just not that good overall and far from believable.
