Senior Project

I am amazed that this has such a high rating. It is one of the worst films I've seen this year. The plot is very weak. It doesn't flow, and there doesn't seem to be a strong point to the storyline. There is no real character depth. I don't know which characters you are supposed to like or dislike. Terrible directing throughout. It sort of stumbles along with weak links. Acting is pretty poor from most including support actors. Some 80's split screen editing too. I don't know why I watched it all, although out takes at end was probably best bit. I can only hope this is someone learning the industry, but it goes into the pile of trash with so many recent movies.

First of all to address the higher than should be rating on IMDb is due to (at the time of this review) this film having 53 reviews! 53! Everyone that worked on this movie didn't even take the time to leave a positive rating.

Now to address Senior Project. It's not terrible or poorly done or insanely low budget. It's not the worst movie you'll ever see. But Senior Project is painfully mediocre. PAIN-FULLY. It took so few artistic risk it's somehow shy of cliché. I just imagine the theory for the movie was "we want our film to say what millions of other films have said....but you know....quieter. Maybe someone will watch it eventually."

There's nothing here for the viewer. It's a demo reel for some young actors and not much else. There's not one single laugh, or apex. No awe moments or "I hope he gets the girl" moments. There's not even a moment where the movie is funny bad. It just exist as passable content. A few actresses delivering some poor lines. And a few average ones. It's an incredibly inoffensive movie that seems like it wanted to be directed for teens....and children? But neither?

I also don't feel the need to post a synopsis on the film here. Seriously, read the log line. That's as deep as it goes. You can see this movie from start to finish in your head.

I won't say avoid it like plague. But there's nothing here for you. Take a risk on a better or worse indie movie please

How sad a big talent like Margaret Cho must wade through this kind of mucky movie.

The word "stupid" fills everything you need to know about this sorrowful mess.

Margaret Cho - what's with all those tattoos? They must be real because I've seen other photos of you with tattoos.

Outside of seeing Margaret's Cho's tattoos, Kyle Massey is actually funny in maybe a couple of scenes.

That's it for the mess. Cho's tattoos and Massey bringing a laugh somewhere in the movie.
