Embrace the pain... Drugs, some sex and thoughts about dying, well it's not a great movie if we criticize it from several perspectives, but it's good it gives itself away. The story doesn't offer much in several aspects but that emptiness and loneliness is what Luke had, in my opinion. I liked it is good movie, but with more arguments and a plot something more developed would have been better. 8.3/10

so bad, so very bad.. josh peck's career peaked with drake and josh, and that's fine. that's not important, but just sets the ground level for acting expectations. when coupled with ben kingsley you figure that they'll somehow reach a basic level of quality. unfortunately kingsley's new york accent attempts are so unbelievable and vary between takes, it just kills it. speaking of accents, method man, wow! the real nail in the coffin for me was the audio levelling. there is just no vocal clarity coming through making the entire movie fall flat, except for the music which comes through - not all of which is period precise due to slight remixing. [spoiler]started writing this before seeing the beach scene just now, that was pretty funny.[/spoiler]
