A Shame

This felt like a really bad script written by a first time writer who should be discouraged from continuing. I was shocked when I found out it was Amy Heckerling. The dialogue was eye roll inducing in its desperation to appeal to modern audiences. From frame one it felt like I was at a reading of a middle aged woman's attempt to write a marketable, youth oriented script. Like the kind of gal who joins a writer's workshop at age 50 because her marriage is over or the kids are in college and writing was always something that she "meant to do." Sometimes it's too late. What's truly upsetting about this is that Heckerling was a really cool director once upon a time but she just hasn't kept up with things.
That said, I don't think this script would have ever been really acceptable even in the 80's which is where the soul of this writer-director seems to obviously be.
