Supercool

So many low-budget movies try REALLY HARD to "look like a big budget movie". Thankfully, this film does its own thing entirely!

GREAT LOCATIONS!!!

REALLY FUN stuff with the dialogue being highlighted on screen!!! (and it's GREAT dialogue!!!). I felt like I was back watching the OG Independent Film Channel in the late 90's, which is a feeling I sorely miss!

This movie is as good or better than most comedies made for literally HUNDREDS (thousands???) of times the budget.

I was reminded of Spike Lee's very early work!

I'd LOVE to see what this Director could do with MILLIONS of dollars!!!

If you're looking for a SUPER INDIE, FUN teenage comedy that's unlike any of the boring, redundant "studio crap"- check out this movie!!!

Supercool tells the story of a awkward young man looking to connect with his dream girl. His attempts to be cool and gain her attention is a story most people can relate to. The film has some ingenious elements, like highlighting certain words, which looks like a fun education in slang. Throw in some gangsters, a charismatic, advice-giving best friend, and some over-the-top supporting characters, and you have a wild joyride. Having the role of writer, director and cinematographer in any film is difficult, but Gabriel Black showcases a unique voice and brings a vibrant vision to the screen. The film captures some great scenery and the lead character seems like someone to cheer for. This is a film that has it's own niche. Some of the themes may be too adult for some younger viewers, but fans of films like American Pie, Superbad, or Friday should enjoy the film.

Supercool is a wacky teen comedy with some really well-written characters and dialogue, beautiful locations and photography, and great pacing. The movie is not really laugh-out-loud funny but the character interactions are very entertaining. It was a good way to spend an hour. The girls are sexy, the two leads have great chemistry, and there's a sense of urgency in the story. This was not an overly ambitious project but you can tell it was a lot of fun to make. The filmmakers definitely put some effort into making it stand out from other teen comedies with the use of graphics in the vein of Scott Pilgrim vs. The world. This is an indie flick definitely worth watching.

I'm in my twenties and I understood most of the street slang. The words on the screen a la Scott pilgrim vs the world went by a little fast but I didn't need them. The movie is a little dirty so leave mom and grandma out of it. Lol.

Stylizes and fast-paced. The slang words appearing on screen are a very unique touch that complements the film's high energy. It also allowed for my favorite joke in the movie, when one character says she's going to get some leaves, the title "leaves" stays as she exits. Thirdly, it was nice to have the spelling for some of those words to look up on urban dictionary lol.

The guy who plays the crime boss was fantastic, abd leaves a lasting impression that haunts you through the rest of the film.

Overall, the film's pure underground spirit is really captivating and the lackbof budget works completely for the film and not against it.
