Major suckage?

I must admit that I did miss the first 5 or so minutes of the movie, but I doubt they made this movie any better. I switched on HBO, and I look at the despcription, and I'm like "eh, it doesn't sound too interesting but I have nothing to do anyway so I might as well watch it." However, this may have been the worst spent 90 minutes of my life. I turned it on, saw Seth Green and Jack Black, two well-known comedians of this day. BUT THEY SUCKED! I don't know, but I felt the acting in this movie was completly horrendeous. Especially with that waste of a scene where Seth Green is trying on clothes for the date later that night. Everything looked so fake! The portrayal of aggression, sorrow and happiness was so unrealistic...not to mention the stereotypes...The director might as well of hired some bums on the street to play the parts better. And did I mention the plot line? Oh right, THERE WASN'T ONE! THERE WAS NO PLOT! ABSOLUTLEY NO STORY! And how did it end? With a 15 minute scene of 10 guys skating around a city. I can take a open my window and see that. There wasn't even any music playing half the time! It was just a long scene of people skating and not doing anything else! And the sound in this movie was just soooo bad. Horrible! And gee, maybe make some transitions? The movie was just a jumble of scenes that are completely irrelevant! Man! This director must of been high on LSD when he made this movie. Now, I'm all for not dissing unless you think you can do a better job, but seriously, I truly believe that I can take my $200 camera, gather a couple of friends and make a movie at least ten times better than this. Now, I know this is how a lot of 90s movies were, but it's just no excuse! This is just so much worse than any movie I have ever seen, even taking into consideration that it's from the 90s...Now, I don't really complain about movies very much so don't get all bitchy on me about how I only come here to whine. Nevertheless, I felt this was a super waste of my freaking time and don't recommend it to anyone, even if they have absolutely nothing to do besides watch this movie or die. Choose death! Is anyone with me, or am I alone?

There's definitely a plot. It's about a guy moving from coast to the middle of America. It's about the differences in lifestyle and how tough it can be to move somewhere that is completely different than what you're used to. It's about learning how to fit in at a new school where you're "different" than everyone else. Add in a little bit of a love story, and there's your movie.

Also, it was made in 1993 when rollerblading was huge. The scene at the end was something that you wouldn't see every day 13 years ago. On top of that, it showed that you just have to find something in common with people to fit in. Now, I'm not calling this the world's greatest movie by any means. It's a movie for teens in the early 90's. It's actually a decent movie for what it is.

Hey you're right. I can't wait to see "Airborne II: Oscar Nominee" directed by you. I don't think anyone expected it to be a movie with an incredibly mind-bending plot and deep characters, seeing as it was marketed towards 10-year-olds, which I was at the time it was released, therefore this movie RULES. I cherish it always.
