The Russian line is totally unbelievable


The whole film looks like a pathetic attempt at settling scores with own teenage years, but the Russian thread is the worst yet. Anyone who ever met Russian American teenagers knows that they are as a rule some of the most ambitious, socially adapted and accomplished kids around. The BS starts with the name (Ivan Cohen? Really? Ever met a Jewish kid named Ivan?!) and it continues from there. The Russian soldier father going back to Russia and leaving behind his military jacket? Why would he take his military jacket emgrating to the US in the first place?! Simply cringeworthy writing.

As a rule? Lol. What a load of nonsense!

If the best you have got about a film being totally unbelievable is a sweeping statement about Russian-American kids (based on what data set?) and something vague about taking a jacket somewhere and the leaving said jacket lying about then the film sounds very plausible to me. If you want to watch a totally unbelievable film try watching the utter turds that are Triple X or Fast and Furious Six - reset your perspective!!

Wish in one hand and sh*t in the other - see which fills up first.
