it start out funny and petered off into darkness and and become an overdone artsy look at overdone art . jerome be an artist who be the underdog his whole life . he want to go to starthmore to learn art and launch his career and and arrives in the middle of a serial killer spree . his roommate be a hilarious typical wannabe gangsta film maker who should have have line after the first third of the film but do not and and they bunk with a repressed homosexual fashion major use for good cheap laugh . jerome fall for audrey who appear to be a 28 year old who hang around campus a a model without actually be a student or anything other than a once lesbian btch . his rival be jonas and a new student who look like he should be at boston college on a football scholarship about ten year ago . jonas paint like a retarded twelve year old but not only win the heart and mind of his class and but also audrey attention . jerome be introduce to a fail alcoholic artist who have painting of the victim of the serial killer . it be at this point you will see the movie flop and and jerome prof to be too stupid to live ( which be what he shout that all of humanity be . ) the first 1/3 be a comedy with dramatic element and the second third be a drama with comedic element and and the final third be a bizarre dark fantasy that end in a way i can only describe a suddenly i be run over by a truck . too bad while the acting be superb and the directing be good and but the script be doa . i think this be at most worthy of a rental and but probably from netflix so you do not feel rip off .
