This was a very hyped-up movie on the internet, yet the TV promotion was very low key, at least from what I've seen. Guess there was a reason for that now...Let me just start off by saying that all 4 female leads looked great....That's about all I could say about them. The acting was terrible. The playfulness between the 4 of them was rather annoying (LET'S ALL DO HEADSTANDS FOR NO REASON). The whole "Gangsta Wannabe" vibe was just sickening and overdone in my opinion. The repetition of lines was just way, way too much. Seriously the only 2 people who seemed to actually have dialog in this movie were James Franco and Selena Gomez. To me this seems like it could have been cut down to 3 minutes and made into a music video. To the people who have griped about the editing in this movie, after seeing it I absolutely agree with all of you. It's just a mess. I got pretty sick of seeing things out of order, or seeing James Franco smiling at the girls while you hear him speaking to them all out of time-frame. One more thing I have noticed is that if you don't like this movie and let it be known on the internet, that you will be pegged as an "MTV Generation Lover" and that you "Just Don't Get It." I for one am not an MTV head, and I DO get what they were trying to say in this movie. Instant gratification and living the wild life will send you into a downward spiral. To me it just seems that Harmony Korine could have actually written more than a 3 to 4 page script and not have done this movie in such an MTV type of style.
