Bindlestiffs - Yay Netflix!

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Three teenagers get suspended for a week and try to live out Catcher in the Rye or something.

Ultra-realistic dialogue because the kids behind the film star in the film. Zits and all. The story isn't as realistic.

This is a really weird film. I've seen it described as a comedy, and I did laugh loudly 1-3 times, but it's a DARK comedy.

The pacing also sucks as it takes time for the movie to get going, and it takes the viewer time to get past how annoying the teenagers are, and how they look NOTHING like normal actors.

Still, there's entertainment here. It reeks of amateur hour, but there's brilliance within as well.

Most people won't like this film. Hell, I still don't know if I did. It has a 4.4 ranking on IMDB. So if you're wondering if I'm recommending it, no, I'm not. Except for Malcolm. I do think you should watch it. I saw one reviewer discuss it as a great drinking film, and you watch some obscure stuff. So Malcolm should see it, but the rest of you can probably skip it.
