"Flunk"
31 December 2011
I will spare you all the painfully long reviews and give you a small and informative one that shall give you just a glimpse and not completely spoil it for you. In an era where re-makes and half a billion dollar films plague the film industry you have films like these that seem to slip by.

The story-line revolves around a senior who seems distraught with the fact he shall one day perish alone. His perspective shifts throughout the film as Sally (his out-going lover) and his "artistic mentor" Dustin enter his life. At some point financial troubles and inspiration motivate him enough to apply himself in school and ultimately change his whole perspective on life. The film takes quiet a bit to actually grasp you attention which is a shame considering it's descent, yet most will not watch beyond the first 20 minutes of the film due to it's lack of charisma or charm if you will. Everyone who has experienced love or heart break will become so nostalgic towards the end of the film as it presents the viewer with some of the most common issues in life and succeeds for the most part. I found myself liking the film, not quiet the film I was expecting yet descent enough to receive a favorable review.
