Review of The Last of the High Kings (1996) by Ws W — 28 Apr 2009
Very unspecial teen summer movie following Irish 17-year-old Frankie Griffin as he endures a long empty summer between finishing school and receiving his exam results. The accent is convincing right through, especially by Jared Leto, and the acting is fine (and Christina Ricci chearleading on a bus is worth sitting through the whole movie for), but really the movie is lame, and the way the storyline develops towards the end is horrific.
Catherine O'Hara actually has one of the more respectable characters, and she's completely mental in this (but brilliantly acted), and the rest are just all horrible boring people. Don't bother unless you are criminally obsessed with Christina Ricci, which of course I am not.
