Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

vchimpanzee Jimmy and James have rich parents and live in a nice apartment in a big city. Jimmy has long hair and a beard, and he takes a lot of pills because, he says, he is dying. But he also abuses drugs that aren't prescribed for him, sleeps when he wants, acts like a maniac, does impressions of celebrities and pretty much does whatever he pleases. He even made up his own language and has told people his name isn't Jimmy any more. It's something that makes about as much sense as Prince's symbol.James, on the other hand, tries to be responsible, though he too seems to smoke pot. He has gotten a job as a paid intern and isn't sure how Jimmy is going to take it.Sharing their apartment is a dog named Billie who doesn't seem to do much of anything, and yet the camera focuses on Billie every now and then.There are works of art all around the apartment, ranging from what kids would put on their parents' refrigerators to copies of the great works such as The Mona Lisa. Classical music is playing throughout most of the movie, and Jimmy pretends to conduct in at least one scene. It's not clear whether the music is really being played in most of the scenes, or if it is just the audience hearing it.Most of the movie involves a visit from two pretty girls, both named Angela. The blonde one is a lot like Jimmy, casually dressed and carefree. The brunette one dresses like she has a clerical job in an office and seems more uptight. Yet both girls are willing to smoke pot, and both show evidence of being somewhat like we thought the other was.The guys and the girls have fun playing games and even decorate for Christmas despite the fact it is August. A song obviously based on "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" plays, with a vocalist that sounds like Brenda Lee.But the movie is not all fun. Eventually it gets serious, such as when Jimmy finds out the truth about James' job, and at one point Jimmy has to rant about just about everything that is wrong with the world. At some point, he does have to face the fact that he is dying. Or at least he says he is.Is this a quality production? It sure feels like a low-budget film, and often these are some of the best. In fact, the man playing Jimmy directed and wrote it too. He does quite a good job with the impressions and the crazy behavior. Whether you have the patience to get through the more serious scenes depends on your taste in what are called "art films", which I guess this one is. It starts out as a crazy comedy, but that just can't continue.The other actors do a good job.The classical music does make this more pleasant than some movies which can't get along without today's hits.I saw this on broadcast TV, but I could tell the language had been cleaned up A LOT.Is it good? I've certainly seen worse.

eriksouthey In the low-budget indy genre, a lot can be forgiven, less than perfect acting, rough effects, poor lighting, touchy at times sound, shaky camera-work, all sorts of things can be overlooked if need be, but the cardinal sin is overwrought, uninspired, navel gazing writing. Jesus Christ, man, you're going to spend thousands of dollars because you have a story to tell, and THIS is it? Perhaps, one should consider that just because we can, doesn't always mean we should. If I had to use one word to describe this film, I think I'd go with, 'wasteful.' Not like, it wasted time (which it did) but like the fact that it was made is a wasted of time, money, resources, storage space on someone's macbook pro, and in their hard drive, needless hours of use on a poor poor camera that had to sit through the whole thing for god knows how long. Jesus. Just, Jesus.

drac-370-899104 American Animal is a very strange and thought provoking film that portrays the life of two best friends, Jimmy and James, who live in a bubble. They both have all the money they will ever need from their parents, and thus they have nothing to do but eat, sleep, have sex, and squalor. The juxtaposition between their life outlooks however keeps you sucked into the movie and wondering where each of these characters will end up. Jimmy, the drugged, animalistic, jobless, and idealistic friend, who has a severely skewed perception of reality, lives in a world with no rules. James however, is the character that represents someone who wants to have a job, give back, and make something out of his life by being an active participant in society. James's discontent with Jimmy's brain-dead outlook and stagnant life creates an immense amount of friction between the two, causing the viewer to stop and think, what is life all about? If you had all the money in the world would you remove yourself from reality and selfishly enjoy false physical pleasures, or would you give back to the world that gave you so much and keep trying to become a better person? As twisted as American Animal is, these valuable questions are necessary for you to contemplate in your evolution as a human being.

daniellesamsonite I saw it like a month ago at SXSW and I still can't get it out of my head. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. You have to see this whenever it becomes available. Can't wait to see it again! Don't want to say too much, words can't really do it justice. It's a one of a kind in the truest sense. Great acting, great writing, really colorful movie. Keep your eyes peeled. Am thrilled to say I was able to see it at its premiere at SXSW!The director said he was inspired by Bob Fosse and Mike Nichols, two filmmakers whose work I'm not all that familiar with (I know, shame on me), and I liked this movie enough to check out more of their movies. Anyway, I loved this movie. Wish there were more like it. Definite 10 out of 10.
