Review of Girl

Girl (1998)
2/10
my so-called movie!
20 July 2001
This movie confused the hell out of me. Maybe it the surroundings of teen turmoil that conflict my everyday existence that hit to close to home. maybe it was how i couldn't seem to find the remote to just press a single button and erase this horrible fiasco from my life.ormaybe it was the fact that i was really stoned and couldn't determine whether the directors and staff of this movie were actually trying to pull off a serious coming-of-age tale (and hopelessly failed) or rather trying to parody the genre by instituting characters and situations supposed to exemplify my generation that are so trite, stupid, and goddamned awful that I actually felt a bit insulted. and i hate my peers. it's not easy to get me insulted on their behalf. maybe, in order to get a "fresh perspective" on what high school was like, they took a pen and some paper to a high school detention room and let a couple of half-wits write the script. or maybe they passed around a sheet at a local mall asking the most pressing issues facing teens and tried to jam pack them all into one movie. because that's exactly what they did. i am fairly positive (and my friend chris can back me up on this) that there was a scene involving bulimia that lasted for about 40 seconds and had absolutely no relevance to the rest of the film. it was never brought up, or mentioned again. YET...YET....i was uncontrolably drawn to it.

like it was produced by satan himself. i could not bring myself to stop watching this film. even though i never started caring once.
