Review of Struck by Lightning (2013) by Fritz B — 01 Feb 2013

Glee's Chris Colfer wrote and stars in this high school story about an unpopular kid who blackmails the popular kids into writing for his HS literary magazine. A nice idea that totally misses the mark and many golden opportunities with all the characters having the same snide and snarky tone - no one here is likable, despite the terrific supporting cast.

As always Allison Janney as Colfer's heavily medicated and very depressed mom is great. Billed as a comedy, this flick left me depressed :(.
