————————————————————————

This film is truly indescribable as it is all over the place, but in the best way it’s offkilter and crazy yet unbelievably funny and a bit my car definitely a future cult movie that audiences didn’t know they wanted and they and that they have been waiting for.

It definitely is a colorful midnight movie comedy that has a strange ensemble and packs up a sucker punch that you don’t see coming that can be sweet, but also disoriented

As this is a punk rock movie and like the main lead character, it feels dressed and has the vibe of a 1990s warped tour with pop punk, dungeons, and hot topic shoppers. There is plenty of drug use and colorful art direction to match the characters.

The film has anarchaic spirit reminds me of the spirit of the movie FREAKED as it seems to keep inventing itself along the way and stays comedic as it goes along and has new scenes to wrap around or throw back to characters or situations that we might remember with running jokes and not much necessarily makes any sense

It’s a film that just seems full of distractions as when someone you know tells a story, but then gets deep into a side story that they feel will help explain the main story that’s going along and it does to a certain extent, but these distractions also seem to go on a different wavelength of information you didn’t need to know, but the storyteller felt it was important and even though it could equally lead nowhere, you’re happy for it as at least it serves up a chuckle or a laugh.

As even at times it presents certain characters who seem like they’re going to be part of the major storyline, but are only around for one or two scenes and then disappear completely even as you were getting used to them. 

Actress, Danielle Evon Ploeger,  steals the show as she is so committed in her performance where her character has no shame and has an intensity that comes out of nowhere in for no reason that she truly shines throughout 

At times, the film can get gory and violent. Which might explain why it’s on the streaming service shutter, despite not truly being a horror Film. So though thankful bruschetta as it does carry a lot of independent films that aren’t exactly horror films that they still share on their channel usually more independent productions that most would’ve never known if not for the service . Truly helping a lot of indie films.

The film starts off simple and weird. As a kind of study of the absurdities of the suburbs, especially for younger characters and the older characters who have stayed around. as it builds up and comes together in the end. 

It bathes itself in broad humor and presents more shocking humor that for some we have no substance to really grab onto that makes it feel like most of what happens is random, but that is how life can be and especially for these characters.

It reminds me of Joseph Kahn‘s detention to a degree absurd in all over the place exploring youth culture while also feeling like it’s rebelling against something like traditional cinematic rules.

The film is messy offbeat not for everyone that has that spirit of youth that can be random. Silly doesn’t always make sense and can be quite wrong in certain situations, but you still have to move forward and clearly want to see where it goes. A stoner comedy
