    My writer friend goes to various screenings to write movie reviews for magazines. He invited me to a screening for a new movie. We sat in theVIP section, and watched. After the movie, he told me he was going to give it a positive review. I intend to admonish him about this. If people read his positive review, and proceed to watch this utter garbage, they will never take his movie reviews seriously. His career will be over.

    Plain and simple, I would describe this movie as totally insipid. If I was normal movie goer watching this movie, I would have saved myself the misrey, and walked out of there screaming.

    It was nonstop mellow drama. Bad mellow drama at that. The dialogue was cheap shock jock nonsense. Shock jock dialogue is just plain pathetic. It shows that the writer cannot write genuinly captivating material. This movie sucked ass. It was craptabulous.

    A good storyline has to ensure that the audience identifies with the characters and situationals. None of the characters had any traits that would make anybody want to care about them.

    There was maybe one character that drew people's attention, and everything about that character screamed pointless shock jock. It was as if the incompetent writers were trying so hard to make this movie interesting that it backfired on them. It is not the type of movie people will go back, and watch.

    This movie had no value in any form. It had no entertainment value. It had no thematic value. No emotional value. Not even any social value. The plot and storyline was complete and utter nonsense. Nothing about the plot was clever and innovative. The plot was totally tired.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE
