i see that someone already think of a similar analogy and which be similar to the first thing that come to mind after i watch this movie . they say that the ingredient be there but there be no plot . besides the sexual scene which border on child porn ( which i feel could have be edit out or be present more suggestively in nature rather than graphically and i would liken this movie to a recipe that be tear in half . it kind of like be hand a list of ingredient and with no direction on how to put them together into a finished product . from the start and character development and story development be lack . unfortunately and many time in this monotonous drivel we be tease with bit of plot and we think ahh ok. finally we be go to find out something more about why this scene be go on . or . who this character be . or maybe we be finally go to get to know and appreciate this character more . or understand and get involve more with this inter character relationship . etc . but no such luck . on the contrary and many time i be tempt to just turn it off more than once but stick it out when the carrot be dangle and only to find that whatever mini plot within whatever mini plot ( and that poorly present ) be just a ruse . why i stayed with it till the end be a mystery and other than usually ifc have good selection and they give it 2 half star ( another mystery ) . it not that the character aren not likable to some degree and or that you can not identify with them or their humanness at all . it just that this could have be so much good with just a little more effort . i notice this be shoot around santa cruz and find myself wonder if it be someone film school project . i wish i could have give this a good review but honestly it be a frustrating and disappointing waste of an hour and a half .
