Good writing aside, this screenplay contained the elements of two different films. One of them might have been quite persuasive.

Extremely well written in the fearless way of a smarty pants on a roll in the university cafeteria.

Wood's fine work is undermined by the movie it's trapped in, which feels like a rough draft of itself: Skander Halim's screenplay is unnecessarily twisty and gimmicky, and some of the teenspeak dialogue falls flat, already out of date.

This movie tries to walk the line between darkness and humor, like such gems as Heathers and Election, but it leaves the viewer feeling uncomfortable and unsympathetic.
