So not too many people understand dark comedy I see...


I can't understand why there's so many threads bashing this flick. I dug this movie, and apart from Arrested Development, I don't really enjoy watching Cera. I think a lot of people don't understand dark comedies, which in turn leads them to talk *beep* when they don't really grasp the concept. It reminded me of a modern, teen-aged One Night at McCool's without the three-way story.

I've seen people bash this because the lead girl wasn't 'hot'. Who gives a *beep*?
I've seen them bash it because Zack G didn't have a bigger role. Again, who gives a *beep*. It's not a movie about a 30 year old...
I've seen them bash the dialogue and say that kids don't speak this way. These kids spoke this way because in their minds they didn't want to be like the people they grew up around.

Again, I think people expected this to be in the vein of something like Superbad or that playlist movie he did, when this should be on the shelf next to Death To Smoochy.

... and then there are the people who understood it, but just didn't enjoy it...






This is where the magic happens... and by "magic", I mean nothing.
