The acting was amateur at best, the story lacked insight, and much of it appeared to be shot with a defective Super 8.

I have a feeling that the makers of this movie confused authenticity with all the stuff I found embarrassing about it: the puerile view of adult life, an underdeveloped plot, acting worse than a high school drama club, and the gratuitous porn shot, just to name a few. I mean, perhaps there is something authentic there, but there is authenticity in a carbuncle too, and I don't want to look at one. There may be some "real" (albeit poorly acted) reactions in the movie, but they could only be realistic for an emotionally stunted prepubescent.

Granted, it has no ambitions of being an art film, but this movie does NO WORK. It isn't possible for someone with any life experience to come up with this story. There should be a law forbidding some people from making art, because the odd thing about this film was that no one in the production process seemed to recognize that it had no integrity.
