Review of Paradise (2013) by Dominic S — 17 Jan 2014

I could not stand Julanne Hough's acting and her character.

But nonetheless, this film made a great point on how low one can get once they stray from the people who care about you and are trying to help you.

Hough's character is 21 years old and left home for the first time to live a wild life outside of her old, conservative, christian lifestyle she has been living with her parents.

She heads to Las Vegas and in less than a day, she chickens out, which is totally unrealistic.

I have to so, I though I would've hated Russell Brand in this but his character was a relief from what I've seen him do in the past.

I live right next to a casino and before it was built, the people of my county were able to vote on whether it would've been built or not. I voted against it. Now that I am 21 years old, all I care about using my age to pursue is consuming alcohol and not gambling. Not only do I not have the money to splurge on it, it is pointless, just as pointless as playing the lottery. I'd much rather find another way to make quick money like proper investments in companies... haha I'm rambling.

Overall, not one of Diablo's best, but still just ok.
