Temps (2016)
6/10
Not really convincing, but has its moments
5 February 2023
20 somethings in search of the meaning for their very existence.

Get a job and do as little productive work as you possibly can, seems to be their credo.

This romantic comedy has its highlights in spite of the mostly hollow characters.

Jeff and Curtis are so phony, no straight guys go out dressed in almost the same colors to drink the same beer sitting at the bar side by side.

And their den, while with a broken screen door and a few unfinished bottles on the table, does not a convincing man cave make. How about a dart board, movie posters or a few stolen traffic signs on the wall? Maybe a pinball machine?

There are a few free spirits, though, like Jeff's father having left the rat race to live in a sailboat to grow weed and get high, or the dildo shop salesgirl "I'll kill you laughing" Lorelei.

20 minutes or more of her laughter would certainly exceed the human LD50 threshold.

But actually the only character making this movie worth seeing is Stephanie by the übercute Lindsey Shaw.

A 6/10 with 2 points for Lindsey, one for Jeff´s father and Lorelei and the rest is worth 3.
