Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
ViolentStarfish The only reason I saw this movie was so I could see Timothée Chalamet, because I didn't get to see Call Me By Your Name, but people were talking about how great of an actor he was. Though his acting is pretty much the only strength this movie has going for it. Every other actor isn't the least bit convincing and they made their characters incredibly one dimensional. The story is incredibly lame and pulled back. The film relied way too much on making it stylistic and hip, and forgot how to tell a decent story. And even then, most of the stylistic choices were either out of place or incredibly forced. Even with all these choices that the movie makes it has a very tough time finding a tone. I wish the movie didn't pull back on so much like nudity and drug use. I wish they would mess things up a little bit. It felt really tame. I did really enjoy some of the music. The cinematography is really great and I even enjoyed some of the sequences I didn't expect to enjoy. But most of the movie felt really ham-fisted. How some characters are introduced felt rushed, the dialogue was sometimes really cliche and cringey. I already mentioned the biggest set backs above. I just wish they had directing and writing to back up the lead actor that plays so well. Overall, I was really disappointed with the movie. You're all trash.
frogstaties The movie is fun to watch if you play a game on your phone while watching. The movie is predictable and you dont connect to the characters at all! the main character is dumb and the rest of the characters are dumb aswell. The acting was good but you dont feel empathy for the characters beceause the movie goes so fast. I wouldnt recommend this movie to anyone.
David Ferguson Greetings again from the darkness. Crime, Romance and Bromance battle it out in the summer of 1991, accompanied by music from the 1970's, influenced by classic films of the 1980's and 90's, and starring 4 rising young stars of today. The debut feature film from writer/director Elijah Bynum comes across as the work of a film and music fanboy concerned with not leaving out any ideas in his only opportunity to make a movie. He shows enough here to likely justify another chance, but we can't help but wonder if assistance from a mentor might have fine-tuned this into a nice little gem, rather than a blip on the resume of the shooting stars he's working with.Fresh off his Oscar nominated performance in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, Timothee Chalamet stars as Daniel, a socially awkward 18 year old. After the death of his beloved father, Daniel's mom ships him off for the summer to live with family in Cape Cod - yet another place where he will be an outsider as neither a 'Townie' nor 'Summer Bird' (the wealthy preppies in summer homes). An odd meet-cute kicks off the bromance between Daniel and local heartthrob/legend and dime-bag pot dealer Hunter Strawberry (Alex Roe, FOREVER MY GIRL). It's also the beginning of a business relationship that both showers them with cash and puts them on the road to ruin. Hunter's estranged sister McKayla is the local object of desire for the male population. Played by Maika Monroe (IT FOLLOWS), McKayla is the town vixen who ultimately and predictably falls for Daniel, unaware of his business dealings with her bad boy brother.Also in the mix here are Emory Cohen (so good in BROOKLYN) as Dex, the no-nonsense "supplier" who pushes the Hunter and Daniel dealings to greater heights, Thomas Jane as the local law enforcement presence, William Fichtner as the coke dealer Daniel tangles with, and Maia Mitchell as Hunter's love interest. There is also the fallout from recently deceased parents for Daniel, Hunter and McKayla, as well as the impending storm (now known as Hurricane Bob). An air of familiarity is not uncommon in movies, but this one is downright creepy in how many films it seems to mimic in either tone, style or content. The romance between Daniel and McKayla is the least effective story line. We want to know more about the brother-sister relationship, and are disappointed that the uber-talented Maika Monroe is given little to do other than bat her wicked eyes. It plays like a Greek tragedy where the only question is whether the tropical storm will beat the group's self-destruction. This summer story is billed as 'coming of age', but that description doesn't seem to fit unless it refers to the ever-present young narrator whose place in line only becomes clear near the end. There is a nostalgic look and feel to Mr. Bynum's film, and it's always nice to have a drive-in theatre play a role; however, his music choices - though terrific to listen to - seem to fit better two decades prior to the setting: Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes", David Bowie's "Space Oddity", Uriah Heep, Linda Ronstadt and The Modern Lovers. Beyond all of that, we do learn that Hunter Strawberry does not like sprinkles.
stskotty I wasn't necessarily excited about movie before watching it. I was expecting a sort of knock off of a coming of age comedy set in a specific time period, throw in some sex and music and you have a run of the mill flick I've seen versions of a hundred times before Let me assure you this is not that! What an absolutely unique, fun spin on an age old story The director takes this film to unexpected places and the 3 young lead actors are without a doubt the Hollywood A-list of tomorrow. If you are trying to decide if you want to watch this or something else do yourself a favor and watch Hot Summer Nights. It's completely different from what you think it will be in the best possible way
