Well ...
Mostly female cast (all young), so the early dialogue is full of life.
Opening scene is a blind VO during the credits - very effective. Followed by a full car interior with a cast of good actors in giddy form.
Problem is the cast ends up trapped in a house with a thin plot. While the mutual bitchiness does okay for a while, their helplessness gets very trying. Feels like exhausted improv, and the story doesn't know what to do with so many characters.
At about 60 mins a man enters the room and the action gets going. Can't understand why they didn't use the chick with glasses to supply this role all along. I'm mostly down-voting because of that big gap in pace.
The flashbacks are sentimental. And the ending is childish - unless the dude with the pen is a personification of American capital, but this film doesn't do metaphor.
And it doesn't do reality. Otherwise it would show this is the disaster visited by American capital on people in Bhopal, but this time exported back to America and it's lovely teens.
There's always next Halloween.
