Review of Dope (2015) by Chris G — 02 Mar 2016

In general, it was a fun watch, but on a more technical side of things, primarily the structure of the writing, I wasn't sure exactly what the goal of the main character was. Getting into college? Getting the girl? Getting money? And then, in the end, we learn through a random twist that he's conned the Harvard representative into getting him enrolled.

I don't know, everything seemed out of place. I feel this film opened way more doors than it should have, for example, when the lead character randomly broke the fourth wall and made an "A Time To Kill" style civil rights speech.

If it were compressed down to one or two main ideas and concepts, I feel it would have worked a lot better.
