The creators of this movie were clearly tring to offer something alternative and different, motivated by the nonconformist, art student indie crowd...(and I emphasize "trying")...trying much, much too hard.
This movie is the biggest waste of time EVER, and it's so clearly, desperately obvious that the writers had intense dreams of this becoming a cult classic long before filming ever began. YOU CANNOT DECIDE A MOVIE IS DESTINED TO HAVE A "CULT FOLLOWING" BEFORE IT'S EVER EVEN SHOWN TO AN AUDIENCE. It's just wrong, people. It's not fair. Jane White is such a blatant rip-off of films that were actually cool, and it upsets me deeply that there are people in this world oblivious to that fact. In addition to all this, the cameos of former child actors and such is almost heartbreakingly depressing. Oh, Winnie Cooper, you shold have ended it on a happy note, with the Wonder Years. The absolute worst aspect of the entire movie (with the exception of the poor acting, done on purpose to give the film more of a "B-quality" feel), are the DVD extras. I don't even know why I looked at them, after fully loathing the movie for over an hour and a half. But, unfortunately, I did. The extras actually include a list of "sick and twisted" games, including a drinking game, for Christ's sake. God help us all. Like anyone in the world is willing to watch this movie over and over for the sake of getting drunk. A word of advice: Get drunk BEFORE viewing this film. It won't make it any better, but at least you'll be drunk.
