Wow! Teens drinking, smoking, and swearing, oh my!

Where to begin reviewing this disastrous film? First of all, do we really need another movie about kids acting badly? It's been over done, and done much better than this. The writing is absolutely atrocious. Nothing original here. And the dialogue. Is it "edgy" when the kids can't complete a sentence without using the F-bomb at least once?

The acting is pretty mediocre. Not terrible, just nothing out of the ordinary. And don't get me started on the camerawork. Okay, I'll start. It looks like it was filmed with an iPhone. I know, that's supposed to make it look slice-of-lifey. FAIL. Honestly it just makes it hard to watch

I could keep going but let me leave it at this. Once again, it got a 6.0 rating because friends and family boosted the ratings. That's petty obvious. I rarely quit a movie half way through but in this case I made an exception. What an epic waste of time.
