This is a sugar sweet film about toughness of living, unemployment,lack of money and living with your parents as a young woman. everybody else has work of a kind that makes them money,just not this girl still wet behind her ears. there are lots of ''hey'' and ''okey'' in the script, thats usually a good sign of low quality script. also acting trying to be positive with a head shake sideways, usually signals ''no'', well that happens alot here, and its why they never reach a or b standard and has to act out in a c-movie like this. the acting are generally passable,but the only truthful one is the main played by Margaret Keane Williams. the technical production are terrible at times soundwise, especially in the ice cream shop, the mike's mustve been hidden in the frozen youghurt.

anyway, its a cosy thing, im sure,cause im just an old grumpy man.......

Tremendous Festival Film!! **Spoilers**

Warning: Spoilers
Have seen this film now multiple times over various Film Festivals, and it is one of the most enjoyable and underrated Indie Films I've ever seen on the Festival Circuit.

Nicely helmed by Sloan Copeland, WET BEHIND THE EARS is a sweet comedy with a ton of heart. The coming of age comedy tells the story of Samantha Phelps (played nicely by Margaret Keane Williams, who co-wrote the story with Copeland), a - pun-intended - "wet behind the ears," college graduate in search of a job in advertising.

Her dream search quickly becomes a nightmare when she is unable to find an acceptable job and resorts to taking a gig at her friend Kim's parents' ice-cream store. This hampers her ability to go in on an apartment with her best friend Vicky (Jessica Piervicenti). As good as Williams is in this film, Piervicenti's performance practically steals the movie.

But, then again, Copeland gets the most out of a talented cast of unknowns that includes Michael Giese as Samantha's wisecracking, but cool-cat, brother and Doug Roland as Dean, Samantha's love-interest and resident movie bootlegger.

But, Copeland has done a wonderful job in picking the perfect cast for this film, and again, getting the most out of them. This film has played in a good amount of festivals already and from what I've seen is not slowing down. Catch it at a festival if you can, and if not, hopefully a release of some kind is imminent.

Nice little picture. The posters are kinda misleading, looks like it'll be some sort DDlg kinda picture.

Sloan Copeland is one the best directors running and. The lead in this picture is great. I acytually waited too long to write this so I don't remember it good. There's a pyramid scheme scene which is pre'y good.
