TROLL IS LIFE
Gonna check this out this weekend 
I think it was in the bottom tier of indie movies, not as good as 'The Spectacular Now', but in that same category...Not compelling, original, or interesting enough to be great. It's very cliche and just because it knows that, doesn't make the execution any better. The script lacked moments of poignancy and didn't capture high school or youth for the most part in a convincing or memorable way. I did like Earl, though I thought at times the writing for his character was more then a little insulting, and unneeded. His brother was a very uncomfortable stereotype, that seemed to serve no purpose, other then to show a black man smoking blunts and shouting off cliches with a pitbull, that was really in bad taste. It's like a C movie to me. Maybe C+. The main character was so needlessly underexplored and over wrought with bullshyt, that never rang true enough to matter to me.
Man, I wish I liked this more than I did. Everything felt so forced. The quirkiness, the odd camera angles, the emotional beats....nothing felt earned or natural. The endless film references probably made me think I liked the movie even more than I really did. I zoned out during a couple scenes and just started scanning for clues to other films....the first time they're browsing that store, and when he and Earl are sitting in his living room (I noticed The Lady Vanishes' spine among several other Criterions on their shelf....and then I spent several minutes thinking about that movie instead of what I was watching 
)
)

Just finished watching. I didn't like the main character but Earl and Racheal were cool. Earl's brother was funny but didn't serve a purpose at all.
Decent flick. Don't feel like I wasted my time watching it.

Already posted this in the 'Last thing you watched' thread but I gotta tell peoples here as well. @FlyRy
I fukking hated this movie so bad. It's like someone saw Juno and said to themselves, 'You know what, I can write a story just as obnoxious and pretentious as this. Hell, I can even make it worse!' and then proceeded to do so, hurting the world of novels and now cinema for evermore. The forced hipster quirkiness is at an all-time low, from the plain annoying to the shameful classic cinema pandering (you can't hate this movie, look at all the movies it shout outs! Werner Herzog mentions people, a true cinephile can't hate this!). More painful to sit through than chemo to the point the possibly-quite-nasty stereotype of Earl is almost welcomed because even in his stereotypical this-is-what-white-people-think-black-teenagers-are-like way Earl at least feels like a real character in a movie consisting of painfully constructed cartoon characters. Did I mention the direction is abominable with terrible camera angles and a general sense that if the camera isn't standing still, the director has no idea what to do with it? fukking indie-hipster fukking shameless tearjerker garbage.
