Review of The Mudge Boy (2003) by Jim D — 03 Apr 2007
The things you learn when you watch movies!! Who knew you could calm a chicken by putting its entire head in your mouth? Fortunately, I've yet to have cause to calm a chicken. But, now I'm in the KNOW!! How much would you, as a teenage actor, really want to get a part? I give Emile Hirsch credit. Quite a lot to tackle for this part!!
I can't envision this being everyone's cup of tea. For one thing, it would just be way too slow for a lot of people's tastes. But, I found it well written and acted. There are some rather painful and emotionally charged moments along with the standard portrayal of how awkward it can be to be a teenage boy who just doesn't belong. A great reminder of why I'd never want to relive those damn teen years. ;-) What price do you pay to let go of the past? And what do you gain by it?
