Review of Adult World (2014) by William S — 11 Mar 2014
When life gets hard, rise to the occasion. Emma Roberts stars as Amy, a young poet who recently graduated from college. Life isnâ??t going according to her plans. Amy is forced to find a job after her parents stop paying for her submissions to poetry contests.
Amy reluctantly starts working at Adult World, a sex shop owned by a spirited elderly couple played by Cloris Leachman & John Cullum. At a book signing, Amy pursues an apprenticeship with her idol Rat Billings, a crusty, withdrawn, alcoholic writer played by John Cusack who Amy believes will help her with her poetry.
Director Scott Coffey & screenwriter Andy Cochran display a smart and quirky look at how you have to go though a lot of crap to get to your ultimate goals in life. The performances from the cast were caring, engaging & very well done.
At times, I didnâ??t like Amy because of her attitude toward other people. I was disappointed that there weren't more scenes of Cloris Leachman in the film. SEE THIS FILM.
