Unfortunately, this decent idea with potential ranks among the least successful movies I have ever seen at the festival. The tagline of the film "Kids can be mean...adults can be meaner" somewhat hints at the plot. When Mitch and Meris move back to Mitch's old town where all his old friends live, milquetoast Meris is unable to coalesce with the group (and, to the movie's discredit, we are never able to see what Mitch saw in Meris prior to their moving back) and when Mitch inevitably leaves her for his old life (and old girlfriend), Meris spirals downward (then, also inevitably, back upward) with the help of a couple new friends.
But it all kinda sucks. And the acting was mostly terrible. And there was a serious age discrepancy between Mitch/Meris and all of his "high school friends". And lots of other things went wrong. But no one hated it more than Dan.
Score: 2.5/10
