I think I'd rather watch THE MIST than to see this movie again. It was awful. Completely brainless and forgettable. It's not ripping off just one... it's an almost commendable homage to several of the same kinds of movies that we all know and love. To name a few; Harold and Maud, Rushmore, Every John Hughes movie ever, and Pump up the volume. There's a scene where he actually stands up and gives the same speech as in Pump up the volume. He's a rich kid that gets kicked out of private school and goes to public school and still wears his school jacket like in RUSHMORE. He's a rich kid with a crazy mother PLUS he sits down with a his girlfriend and plays on the piano "If you wanna sing out, sing out, if you wanna be free be free, cos theres a million things to be, you know that there are", like in Harold and Maud. However, they changed the lyrics from "if you wanna get high, get high" to "if you wanna live high live high." But in the end, it turns out to be just a stupid John Hughes rip off.
and by the way... i hated Juno for all the same reasons.
I will say that the main character kid was really really good in it. He had to pump out several horrible lines and do many many ridicules things through out the film and i feel like he definitely pulled it off.
He looks like Kevin Bacon too.
So... this is a bad movie. I find my self yelling several times... "AAHH, I HATE THIS MOVIE!!" at the screen. Don't be fooled... this is not good.
