Review of American Teen (2008) by Dalem — 07 Sep 2008
This movie claims to be a documentary but felt contrived. Are we supposed to imagine these people don't notice the camera? Are they hamming it up as they do in reality TV or are they rehashing the past or are they reading from a script? The characters come off all too often as stereotypes.
Take away the idea that the film is a documentary and you are left with a boring and failed attempt to be American Graffiti for the present decade.
