Home of the giants sponsored by Wendy's and stories that go nowhere
I really should be more careful of IMDB flicks that are rated above 6 when the total number of votes is under 1000 cause then clearly it's the cast and crew and family and friends of said cast and crew that have to be voting.
Case in point: this movie.
****SPOILER ALERT*****
The story goes no where, the lead character played by Osment is SUCH a codependent wuss it's un-be-lievable. I spent the whole movie waiting for him to realize how big of a douche his "friend" was. But no the dude is a codependent wuss to the end. He thinks it's "real friendship" whereas he's just a doormat. The character's line "you just don't understand" that he says over and over again, indeed sums up my feelings about his attitude.
The writing was very poor, the actors did their best with a very lame script and a story that just dragged on, going no where.
The big "reveal" at the end can be seen a mile away and you don't care enough for any of the characters to carry through the dreariness of 1h42.
Every other scene happens in a Wendy's. I'm not kidding. Sometimes it's inside, sometimes it's outside, other times it's in the drive thru line, not to foget the unforgetable line: "come on! we'll go to Wendy's", like yeah, we know.
The production was clearly low on cash and couldn't afford a set so they got themselves a corporate sponsor which would be fine except those are the scenes where they discuss the heist! Cause of course when you are planning a crime the best place to discuss it is in the open, in a public place.
Anyways, rating: 2 out of 10 but to balance out the ridiculous imdb rating gave it a 1. Very disappointing.
