i really cannot understand why this film is so poorly rated. upon first viewing it, i was totally blown away. further examination proves that a few things here and there could have been improved, but that takes a back seat to the fact that this is a movie with a clear vision, and a look into a very realistic situation. with such a low shooting budget, and an inexperienced director, cast, and crew, this could have easily devolved into a production similar to other view askew misfires, such as "vulgar" and "drawing flies". if you bought this hoping it would be "mallrats 2", then you missed the point, and i feel sorry for you missing out on what is hopefully the first (and not only) great thing this director does.
