Didn't make the cut.

This tried to be a coming of age film, and did explore coming of age for those who are in their mid 20's.
The acting was great, the humor was great, but if you want to see character development, you'll get that, but not character development that I could relate to.
PLOT SPOILERS:
1. Who in the world would drive away from a long time girlfriend who is doing a strip tease for you? That's just rude even if you're going to break it off.
2. It's not realistic that one of the two leads is super rich, connected to the music industry, and can just walk into any club. Like I can relate to that?
3. The guy was a 3 ((I'm no better, I can relate to his looks)) the girl was a super model pining away for *him*?? In real life, super models have guys around ever bush waiting to cater to them, so they don't 'pine away' for 3's, unless they have problems, which this girl did not.
4. How many guys do you know that can play in a band like they are not into it, have three well adjusted gay male friends who only care about spending all night to help him pursue a girl he doesn't even want, including jumper cables on call, and actually know how to read the mind of the girl the guy doesn't even know he wants, but she secretly pines away for him?
I was glad to see gay guys not somehow stop the plot, I wouldn't mind having them as friends (who wouldn't). I just don't believe that any van load of young men drive around all night trying to promote heterosexuality upon someone with someone they don't even know they want. I mean, I don't believe heteros would do that either, do you have three gay guys waiting to move your furniture at 4 am? If so, then I'm so so ignorant that I still couldn't relate to that, I need more gay friends because, my lawn needs mowing, my house needs painting, etc. |
