A study in alcoholism..tough subject to like

Body Shots is a study in emptiness of the drinking life of the unmarrieds. It was hard to like this film. It had a generational flavor that I can't connect as well. I must say it convinced me against these young people's lifestyle decisions as much as Private Ryan did for war.

It is a study in alcoholism and the consequences from choices made while under in the influences. A good job by these bright young actors. I would not allow such a life to begin for my children and I won't. Frankly, I hope they won't either.
