Almost Adults (2016) Reviews
Coming of age and coming out, all in one, but funny
I'm sure this movie won't be for everyone, but I'm well outside the target audience (I'm in my 50's) and although some of the jokes slide by I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've lived some of those moments and they sang true on screen for me. It's not going to change the world but it was lightweight, funny and hit a spot that needs to be hit.
Disappointing movie
Originally, I was really exited for this movie - I love the actors and the people behind it. I even contributed to the kickstarter campaign. But the movie was so disappointing. The most of it was cringe worthy and almost painful to watch. I'm pretty sure that this was suppose to be a comedy, but the humor fell completely flat with me. And I didn't like the fact that they used the R word the way they did. The whole movie is almost based on the fact that Cassie is overreacting (who would almost throw away a friendship over that?)and that's a shame. Also as a backer, I'm disappointed in how long we had to wait to see the movie (I know they had to find a contributor first), but if I remember correctly, we were promised to watch the movie before anyone else. And that clearly didn't happen.
I thought it was fantastic
I honestly don't know why there are so many negative reviews; I thought it was super sweet, relateable, funny, and a breath of fresh air both in terms of representation and in the fact that it didn't fall prey to most LGBTQ fiction tropes or film clichés in general. It was very real and also just kept me giggling, and the actors are all fantastic. New favorite!
Good Concept. Bad Execution.
I really wanted to like this movie. I follow the screenwriter and director on YouTube and upon seeing the trailer thought it was going to be an alright movie. But I found myself hesitating to watch it because I had a gut feeling about the kind of movie it would be. Turns out I was right. The idea of this film isn't terrible but almost everything about it was done poorly. The acting is cringy, the writing even more so, and the directing is static and uninspired. I didn't find myself liking the majority of the characters, I found them annoying and unfunny. So much of the plot is based solely on the fact that both of the main characters are too self-involved to care about each others lives, which makes one wonder how their friendship lasted so long to begin with. A lot of the interactions the characters have with one another are very unbelievable and so many of the characters are one- dimensional and boring. That being said, there were some lines that made me laugh and there are a few times that the film can be quite clever. The two main leads have a lot of potential and looking back on it I think the main thing to take into consideration is the lack of experience almost everyone involved with the production of this film has. This is the first feature length film that most of these people have done. This isn't a large production company, this movie was partly funded by kickstarter. I think if this screenplay had been in the hands of more experienced people it could have been a lot better.
Incredibly Clichéd and Cringeworthy
I follow the makers of this film (Sarah and Adrianna) as well as the actresses who also play Carmilla, so please know that I am trying to like this movie. My initial thoughts on the plot of this film was that it seemed just like that Leighton Meester movie, "Life Partners" but I was desperately hoping it was not. It wasn't the best movie in the world, but it still beat this one. I'm sorry, but I can't like this movie. It's just not possible. It's cliché, the acting is bad, the script is shallow and boring. The fact that its filled with Lesbian stereotypes to the rim just adds insult to injury. Story line: Boring and cliché. It's filled with lesbian stereotypes and rather than a nervous exploration into the lesbian world as a "baby dyke" it ended up being incredibly shallow, typical and simply unrealistic. The film tries too hard to be funny. And while something said in the film may work among friends, film viewers aren't friends with the characters because there is no depth. Characters: No depth to any of them whatsoever. By the end of the film you don't know them any better than at the beginning of the film. Acting: It's OK at times, but for the most part it is not great. I expected more from Elise and Natasha outside of Carmilla. But considering how both overacted even the simplest of human interactions goes to show that both are simply too inexperienced. This was an hour and a half that I just ended up cringing and stopping the film. When it came to serious scenes, I just could not take either of them seriously. Summary: I hate to say I hated this film. But I hated this film. It was boring, cliché, had no depth and was just not funny. I'm sorry Sarah and Adrianna, but this was a bad film. I walked away not gaining anything from this film except for cringe.
