Let's be honest, the poster for this movie tells you all you need to know. Somehow, my twisted childhood installed the love of two genres. First, the raunchy teen comedy. Second, the horrible midnight movie thanks to hours spent watching USA Up All Night. This movie certainly is both.
How could you not watch a movie staring Balkie Bartokomous, Dante Hicks, and Mouth.
The story is predictable and not funny. The teens are all pretty horrible. The raunchy situations are many and disturbing. I think I felt my age, because I found myself several times wondering why these girls didn't have more self-respect.
In the end, this movie was exactly what I expected it would be. Watch at your own risk.
Movie #8 Bart Got a Room 75%
Continuing on my love for teen comedy, I thought I'd give this movie a shot. This had the potential to be the Indie version of American Pie. It really never quite took off. The cast turns in an excellent performance. The characters are likable The story is just kind of boring. The plot involves a quirky Jewish teen trying to find a date for his senior prom. His best friend wants to go with him, but he is holding out for the perfect girl. His family is very involved in his quest, but it never seems too unrealistic
The movie is enjoyable but not memorable.
Movie #7 Good Dick 70%
Yes, that is the name of the movie. Okay, if you are done judging me let me tell you about this film.
The premise is very interesting. An emotionally disturbed video store clerk with a heart of gold becomes involved with an agoraphobic, socially awkward women who has an obsession with renting soft-core porn. There are actually some very sweet moments between these two. There is also a lot of typical indie angst.
The acting by Jason Ritter is very good. I wish that he could be a bigger star. I also enjoy anytime when Martin Starr pops up. (shout out to Freaks and Geeks) The actors and director try hard, but there are too many flaws to make this a true indie gem.
