Movie Review by Zara

Can you yawn? Good, because this movie is going to give you plenty to work with when practicing your best yawn techniques. I checked the movie out because it was amongst the new releases on DVD recently and all I can really say is that this is dull as dirt.
I thought that with the cast, there might be something to work with. But other than Eric Stoltz (who, as I looked it up, might have been doing this movie as a favor to the writer/director, Sarah Kelly - she was a crew member on his film KILLING ZOE) coming up with the silver teeth that gleam like strange vampire fangs and the weird voice affectations that he's picked up, the rest of the people are dull as f*ck.
Everyone is way older than the purported ages of the characters that they're trying to play. Everyone is also pretty much self-absorbed sh*theads, including the people who are supposed to be parents, whining about how much they missed high school. The movie wants to come off like some kind of BREAKFAST CLUB... 20 YEARS LATER, but it doesn't ring true for a second. All these pampered and spoiled upper middle class kids from the valley in Cali... man, they make me sick that these type of people exist in my state, ruining its perception for outsiders.
I give the movie credit only for Stoltz and a partial credit for Tate Donovan who gets the unfortunate task of having to play the only straight headed guy in the movie, one who is subsequently played off as being an a**hole when really he's just speaking the truth.
