This time around high school angst hands us a lad whose additional teen burden is indeed a heavy one, severe stuttering. So, of course a school yummy convinces him that he's a PERFECT candidate to join the school's debating team. Rip off on another film I viewed about an illiterate teen who entered the national spelling bee. But that's another story.
It has been said the film departs, does not thereafter go where one expects. My take finds it a sadly predictable film that proceeded to take me on a lack luster, unwelcome and irritating journey. Acting? Yes, fine, so fine I found myself screaming at the screen in vain attempts to help our hero render to verbal completion.
Yes, our hero yearns for love and strives gallantly to find it. While many see it quite differently I saw it as: Strive, crash and burn, strive, crash and burn, strive, crash....HI DAD...THE END...(the antidote: I'm off to see Juno again).
