A detailed and thorough evaluation of a bland and boring movie
cableocelot21 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, the following contains spoilers and a intricate and detailed layout of this move Gives. A man goes to the store,rob the store for a case of beer, then ends up shooting the parents of the main character: Michael. Later Michael's friend is distressed and he has a terrible confession to make to Michael: he killed his parents. Michael ends up killing him in climatic scene with cheap special effects, all this is supposed to apply to the movie's theme: a man is measured by the choices he makes in life. What gives? I believe the correct slogan would be: a man is measured by how long he is able to drag out a poorly written movie lacking even the most important aspects of modern cinema. Besides from painstakingly and carelessly written plot and the horribly written dialogue,the movie has perhaps some of the most terribly acting i have ever seen,. At the end of movie you'll be clenching you wrists, throwing tomatoes at the screen and asking yourselves: What gives? I thought this was supposed to be a drama not a comedy.The most entertaining part in the movie is when the main character is supposed to be driving the car but clearly the car isn't even moving, the car is in a fixed position which shows how hastily and lazily this movie was put together.

This movie really connects with the viewers. Watching Michael live out his life is attractive to the natural voyeurism in us all, wanting to see into anothers life. To watch Michael make decisions while making our own decisions internally for him (like where he should go and who he should be with) and seeing how everything unfolds for him. Jenna was very sincere in her role, she is the friend we all wish we had. Kudos to all of the actors on a job well done. Great movie. Very intriguing. I'm sure as the director and actors earn more experience they could be some of the next generation of adored actors and actresses. I encourage you to watch this movie! Let us know when the director makes another movie.
