Fort Tilden

'Fort Tilden' is the tale of a ten-mile road trip by a couple of bored Brooklyn brats, who head for the beach to hook up with a pair of charmless dudes. Their airhead odyssey comprises only lame exchanges and minor fiascoes involving various acquaintances and strangers, so the big adventure soon turns into a plodding marathon by bicycle, cab and foot. The 'heroines' are portrayed as spineless selfish simpletons, and although the film is clearly intended to be a comedy, it's short on laughs, wit or interest.

The actresses struggle gamely with the pedestrian material, but their characters' whiny griping and fecklessness leaves one hoping a truck will squash them into roadkill at every intersection. When they finally meet their romantic prospects on a gray windswept seashore, the encounter is just another flaccid flop in a series of screw-ups.

Throwing in my two cents about Fort Tilden. The acting and the cinematography is well done but as to the story, that is another matter.

Pretty sure some will find it amusing and I would hazard to guess some would find it offensive or a parody of a slice of the generation.

It was a hard watch for me but around 1 hour and 6 minutes it hit the core of what I thought it was about and the last 10 minutes further solidified what I though it was supposed to be about.

It doesn't have to be just millennials that the lesson of the movie applies to but anyone who ends up being so out of touch with the realities of life due to their upbringing.

Two neurotic, millennial females, from NY. The self-absorbed art scene. Pretty sad actually. Empty group of people with no actual talent, but they are all too fragile to tell each other that the aren't any good.

It's a good movie. Coffee scene alone is worth it. You won't be bummed that you spent time watching it. What more do you want? Okay, so IMDb wants five lines of text or they won't publish my review. I watched it twice to catch certain lines and nuances. Just watch it. It's good. Okay, they need another line of text...

These are your typical transplants that come and ruin this place. Don't call them NYers. We have grot and smarts. I watched to see their demise.

Yes, i am a bitter gen X loser. But i am a NYer and thats better than EVERYONE.
