UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Reno Rangan Is it about the good girls? Looks like that way until the summer break before these two friends get going for the freshman year college. So they decide to lose their virginity, but they both fall for a same boy. Their's long standing friendship will be tested, the remaining film tells who lose the bet and how.Good cast, but the story was from the Lily's perspective that played by Dakota Fanning. The boy and Elizabeth Oslen were kind of in the support roles. A simple love triangle story, but the actings were good. 'Little Birds', 'Ginger & Rosa', 'Violet & Daisy', 'Ghost World', 'Thirteen' name it. This kind of two thick friends theme is quite popular, but mostly average ones like this.Well, it was not one of those movies of the year that I was expecting, so enjoyed what it provided in a limited scale. A few times I was annoyed too, for the turns in the narration, but the way it ended compromised my overall thought. This is a decent coming-of-age movie, which is not worth to suggest anyone openly, but you can give it a try if you get a shot.6½/10
john6918-180-769609 I was first attracted to this film by the actors that were in it but as I started to watch I could tell right away that the immediate plot was stale and frustrating. It all starts and ends with the two main characters played by the lovely Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen where the obvious theme of sexual explorative college bound friends is blatantly pushed upon us. At no point during this coming of age "let's lose our virginity" film did I feel remotely connected to any character. The directing is so horrible that I felt like I was watching plot that had no flow but simply events that happened along the way until they stopped happening and the film ends. Essentially I came to the realization that after watching 2 sexually frustrated girls go from liking the same guy to one of them having a relationship with him and keeping it a secret from the other to fighting their family issues by playing around with this poor innocent likable guy. In the end the only thing I got out of this badly directed film and plot is that bitches be crazy!
SnoopyStyle Lilly (Dakota Fanning) and Gerri (Elizabeth Olsen) are two best friends on their last summer before college. They meet David (Boyd Holbrook) selling ice cream at the beach who takes Lilly's picture as they walk away. Lilly catches her father cheating with one of his patients. Gerri is infatuated with David. Lilly also likes David but she can't tell Gerri. Lilly works on a ferry tour under the lecherous eyes of her boss Fitzsimmons (Peter Sarsgaard). I want to like this movie for the two leads. There is just something unoriginal and outdated about this movie. In fact, I thought this is a period piece at first. The writing is so uninspired. Naomi Foner is the writer and director. I don't really have any big problems with her directions. It looks fine especially for her debut. The writing doesn't have anything compelling to say. The story meanders. There is a tired feel about everything in this movie. This should be a better coming-of-age movie for two skilled actresses. The story throws a lot of stuff on the screen but nothing actually sticks.
Trupiaar But honestly, hey, I only got about half way through the movie. That's probably because I feel I have a strong aversion to weesly untrustworthy characters, which it seems Lilly is.Whoever wrote this movie is clearly one of those chicks that doesn't really understand what friendship is. You don't sneak around behind your friends' backs for booty.Good acting, don't get me wrong, but stuff like this justifies youngins doin shady stuff because 'It's OK if you FEEL it.' Which it's not, that's the basic difference between us and animals.Le. Sigh.
