It's a New year! And as promised, you're gonna get a new review from me! Happy new year everybody! Now let's begin this year with a movie that I .........
I really really really did NOT like this movie. I didn't even watch the last minutes! I knew how it was going to end and I was sick of waiting for the end credits! It was so boring and... yeah.. It was a mess and the best way to tell you on how much it was a mess I'm gonna tell you the story, but it's a lot of spoilers this time so I'm just saying: skip my explaining of the plot and hop to the other section, no spoilers there.
So OK! The story then: This movie have the same problem as Love Actually. It throws in a lot of characters and it wants you to follow everyone! But this movie however, have no idea how to do work with atmosphere or characters what so ever! So here's what it's trying to throw at you all at the same time: First: The main character, Lola, finds out her boyfriend, Chad, cheated on her. After that she's getting closer and closer to her friend Kyle (a guy), but between that her mother, Anne, is dating her ex husband again, Lola's dad. So Lola is bothered by that for one scene. Also her friend, Emily, is in love with the teacher and is always trying to get a date with him. So Lola and Kyle get together during a party, and after that Anne is meeting up with a detictive that is flirting with her, and Emily is in a chatroom where she meets an annoying guy in school and she's starting to fall for him (anonymus chatroom). So Lola and Kyle hooks up, but then Lola thinks he's cheating on her too after a missunderstanding, but it was really Emily and that annoying guy she heard in the bathroom. So Lola tries to apologize to Kyle but his dad has taken his phone and computer because..... he's a jackass. But during a schooltrip to Paris Kyle and Lola hooks up again, Emily comes out that she's dating that annoying guy and Anne is hooking up with that detective. Oh! But all is not well! Because when Lola gets home from Paris her mother is reading Lolas diary (here it's only 15 minutes left on the movie) and Lola is calling her mother bitch for reading her diary and spends the days at her dads. But soon she and her mother is friends again and Kyle and her dad makes up too.... THE END!!! ... You see what I mean? You see why I don't like this movie? Who would ever think all of that would make ONE GOOD movie?!
I didn't connect with these characters at all. It was like they were following a script, a straight line through the whole movie! The actors were trying their best, but the direction, editing and writing were horrible! If we're not connecting with the characters we won't connect to the message they're trying to get across.
And yeah, I mentioned before that the pacing and atmosphere were really bad... I'll say: Try to find a scene that lasts more than 15 minutes! It's really hard! The scenes just throws by! I think it's just "We'll show you what's important with this scene and... that's all you need!" Because of this, the relationships between the characters doesn't matter because they just want the message of "be yourself!" to get across, and it doesn't -.- We need to follow the characters and if you don't care about those, we don't care about them! So what they say is completely useless!
Yeah! ... Now I'm tired... I've said the important stuff and now the movie is over... Screw you guys! I'm going home!
Have a great 2013!! Bye!
