Review of Ghost World (2001) by Bradysmith — 17 Oct 2014
I must have been in a bad mood when I saw this before. When previously, I found it boring and bland, this time I found it to be witty and creative. The characters stand out and are unique. They also never feel forced.
By my score though, it's quite obvious that I don't think it's perfect. Some sections still bored me, and it's not always as funny as it thinks it is. It's greatest success might actually be in conveying the sadness of growing up, losing friends, and the uncertainty of what to do next.
Maybe understanding these things now, helped me to enjoy it more. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention enough last time to notice funny lines like, "Everyone's too stupid!" and "Can I call you Weird AL?" I'm not completely sure I wrote that last one right word for word.
