After listening to Kevin Smith interview the director on one of his Smodcast's, I decided to give it a try. Smith dubbed it the most important movie we will see all year. It's definitely not that, but it's compelling. The leads are pretty charismatic and I've never seen a movie quite like it before. They somehow convinced some schools to allow them to shoot while school was in session. Most of the people in the movie are actual students. In a weird way, it's basically a mix of reality television with a few full-fledged actors thrown in the mix to create a semi-cohesive story. Because of that, the story doesn't quite become cohesive and the payoff at the end isn't fully earned. The tone of the movie switches from comedy to serious drama pretty quickly. As you can tell, I don't really know how to explain the movie. That's part of its charm, but it also keeps it from reaching its full potential. But anyway, it's about two students who are making a film for their multimedia class about a couple vigilante students who kill all the bullies in the school. Give it a watch. Or don't.
