IMDB: 6
Cast: Kimberley Nixon (as Michelle), Robert Sheehan (as Luke), Rupert Grint (as Malachy)
The movie is about the life of a group of teenagers. The flow of the movie is a bit slow. There are a lot of party scenes. These three teenagers, Malachy, Luke and Michelle, don't really know what to do with their lives. They're all living lives they don't want. All of them have different problems. When Luke and Malachy met Michelle they both liked her and this became a bigger problem at the end of the movie. It affected their friendship. In the end, they understood in a hard way that their friendship was more important than all the other things.
Personal Thoughts: The movie kind of reminded me of "Palo Alto" These movies are not so much entertaining but you still like to watch them. At least I do. After all, I still liked it. The soundtracks and the scenes were good. I liked the random party scenes. Also, Robert Sheehan was great as always. He suits the free, crazy teenager characters. I thought his character Luke was so much like his character Nathan in "Misfits". I was a bit excited to see Rupert Grint but I didn't really like his character Malachy. I don't think Kimberley Nixon was the best choice for the bad girl. She looks and dresses like a good girl. Being bad doesn't look good on her. I wish it was someone like Kaya Scodelario. (Can you tell I like Skins?) In the end, the message was good but I wish they had focused on the friendship more than their relationship with Michelle. They practically drifted apart the moment they saw her. In some scenes, Luke said Michelle was separating them but Malachy was ready to leave Luke alone to go after a girl he doesn't even know. In the last scene, Luke said Malachy would do the same for him but I didn't really believe it. That's the main reason I didn't like Malachy I guess. I also didn't like that two cool guys were trying to prove themselves to a girl that isn't even worth it. But I guess that's close to reality in some cases, although I never had two guys fighting over me. The accents were a bit hard to understand since my first language is not English and I like to watch movies without subtitles. Unlike what everyone says, I'm glad I watched it. I don't show it much but I liked it. It's the kind of movie to watch when it's raining outside. I think it's because the UK always reminds me of rainy weather and the scenes were dark since the kids were partying all night.
