Recently I reviewed holidate, the newest film starring the one and only Emma Roberts. I noticed a craze about Emma Roberts even though she is one of the worst actresses working today. Naturally I inquired about this and somebody told me that many people love her as a result of wild child. Now that I have seen it my argument that Emma Roberts is awful is only further improved.
Wild child is absolutely incomptitent in every way imaginable. I genuinely find it hard to be believe that it was realised, and I find it even harder to believe that people think that Emma Roberts is good. This project was given $20 million dollars and I haven't a clue why. To put that in perspective primer by Shane Carruth was made for $7,000 USD, and the grand budapest hotel by Wed Anderson was made for $25 million USD.
The cinematography isn't terrible I guess, but it's not good by any stretch of the imagination, it's especially bad during the lacrosse scenes which just come out of nowhere an hour in. The shot composition during these scenes is also disgusting. These scenes are clearly shot and edited poorly on purpose so that it is incomprehensible to understand what the hell is happening.
My biggest issues with wild child is probably the characters, but it's hard to decide. The main girl I forgot the name of is your stereotypical california gal which has never been funny, but anyway she is. One of her main characteristics is that she wants to be clean and have perfect skin, so that she keeps clean she is shown using hand sanitizer in what feels like most scenes, but what she doesn't seem to understand is that hand sanitizer is really bad for your skin! If hand sanitizer is used frequently it can cause irritation and dry skin. Emma Robert' friends don't even need to help her either. They make a big deal about trying to get whatsherface expelled and pulling her pranks with her. But they really don't need to pull any of the pranks with her, they're just putting themselves in danger of being expelled for literally no reason. None of the pranks even needed more than one person to execute them. As I'm writing about this it's really annoying me.
The story being told is boring, predictable and stupid. Nobody thought this would be good a story that just had to be told, they just thought it would make a decent amount of money. Luckily only about $1.9 million profit was made which gives me a little bit more hope for humanity.
The comedy only works in one instance when there is a parody of western movies. I wouldn't call this scene funny but compared to everything else it felt like a work of genius. Other than that the only laughable thing was the attempts at creating conflict.
For a short movie watching this felt like watching norte, the end of history, obviously not in quality but in length. Both wild child and holidate probably don't deserve the 1/10 rating I've given them, but it definitely reflects how I feel about them very well. Anyway don't watch wild child, it's bad, and not even so bad it's good, just bad.
