Review of Flakes

Flakes (2007)
3/10
I barely made it through...(no spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
I generally write comments for movies I like (like most people do, whether it's an intentional choice or not) and even if I'm not too crazy about one, I still try to remain Mr. the-glass-is-half-full. Sadly however, there was nothing in this little indie flick, starring Zooey Deschanel and Aaron Stanford as a couple of semi-rebels who both aspire much but are not likely to actually achieve anything. While he is working in a cereal bar 'for the time being' (funny how many people who say that end up being permanent employees), she tries to sell art commercially (ironically enough) in a small stand. No matter how much the makers try to charm up the conversations, the mood can only be described as lifeless and if there was any chemistry I didn't see it, it's a shame the delightful Ms. Deschanel chose to waste her time with this kind of pointless movies.
