How does this movie hold a 7.5 rating?! I spent most of the film cringing, groaning and giggling at inappropriate times. I feel like I could catch glimpses of what this film was trying to be, which was something rawer, something more profound. But most of the time it was like a TV movie on cough syrup. Why the Gilliam-esque angles? Why the horrible lighting? The score was ALL OVER THE PLACE and really out of touch with what was happening in the scene. Everything was overdone. The acting was terrible and cliché. Why do I care about any of these people? I was very confused as to whether this movie was trying to be serious or not. A vanity project. Try Harmony Korine or Todd Solondz if you want something like this, but better.
