I wanted to like it...

I really tried hard to enjoy this movie, but when you have to work that hard, the magic is gone. The main character, Hal Hefner, is unfortunately not likable. Much like the movie, he stutters - almost to make the movie an extra 30 minutes long. I happen to be a fan of independent films, so the outcome was a shame. Lastly, putting a couple of cool songs (Violent Femmes) and one star actor appearance (Jonah Hill - very brief) does not save a film, but only makes the viewer feel bad for the amount of money spent buying the rights to both these additions. This movie does achieve one thing - it is awkward like those messed up teen years. |
