Review of American Teen (2008) by Dan O — 16 Sep 2010
Easily the phoniest documentary I've ever seen, so staged and fabricated, it's a travesty to call it non-fiction cinema. And it's not even faked well. It's as if the filmmakers tried to find the most stereotypical teenagers in America, then shoved them through the most obvious melodrama imaginable, all told with a Baby Boomer's understanding of modern teen culture and social networking technology.
An embarrassment.
