The Middle of X

Man what was i thinking watching this piece of emptiness !! no plot .. no script ... I literally went on a coma asking myself ..what was this movie is all about !! no clue .. The plot itself is far from original and the script is weak and unattached .. while the acting was emotionless ..

To be honest i just watched this movie to see "Nicky Whelan" at work .. that was it ... my misleading instinct lead me into this without even watching the trailer .. so it is my sacred duty to alarm everyone .. Not recommended.

1. The most successful GenXers are drunk all day, every day.

2. When you turn 45, you're not going to look remotely like you did when you were 18.

3. Wives who aren't blonde are miserable.

4. Wussy "nice guys" aways wear a gingham shirt.

5. If you increase the amount of time you spend buzzed by half an hour per day every year, eventually you can be buzzed all your waking hours.

6. Lines paraphrased from "Some Kind of Wonderful" sound really pathetic when coming from middle-aged actors.

7. When one bad boy taunts another, if the victim doesn't get angry, it's because he's recording it all on a cell phone.

8. 45-year-olds still care about whose daddy is richer, even when daddy is dead.

The cast is in their mid to late 20's maybe early thirties. The plot is slow and boring. As a 40yo gen x'er I can say the youngest of us are 39/40. This movie is poorly written and poorly cast. This would be better delivered as a millennial movie since the cast fits that time period and the plot seems aimless like their generation. Don't waste your time.

A real story for once. No contrived characters serving up politically correct dialogue about the most absurd and sensational situations. Finally someone made a movie for people and situations that I can relate to - thank you!

This trash is worse than anything Lifetime could half-bake and rush to screen. I think they were going for some sort of Big Chill nostalgia and man ... it falls flat. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to win awards in film in this century.
