Sadly this movie is truly atrocious. The script is appalling, with a very weak story, dragged to the bottom by poor dialogue. Unfortunately the lead actors are so poor that they cannot even make normal dialogue sound real, let alone deal with the turgid, drunken student philosophizing that constitutes a good deal of the dialogue. They look and sound like people reading lines, not actors acting. And ultimately the blame for this mess falls on the shoulders of the producer and the director. The former for failing to get a decent script and the latter for not even managing to get something believable from the actors. This movie should be shown at every film school as an example of bad writing, terrible acting and how to completely fail as a producer or director.
