Review of Bart Got a Room (2008) by Scott A — 23 Aug 2013

While it was predictable to the tee, it also had enough charm to keep me entertained: as well as a tiny run-time. It was only a mere hour and twelve minutes before the credits rolled.

The lead character can be a douche at times, as he tries to hide facts from people too much, but at the same time he keeps putting himself out there, so you kind of feel for him. But you know exactly how it will go down in the end, so cliched city for the who will he end up with.

My major problems rested on the utter waste of two great actresses. Jennifer Tilly really has maybe three minutes of screen time. One brief scene and never returns.

And a growing favorite of mine, Ashley Benson, is like this adorable cheerleader who is giving every single sign that she is into this dude, including changing in front of him, and then the next scene she is classless biatch. And she also never returns to the film, despite her getting rides to school with our lead dude. Seems like that should have continued to be a part of the story, or did she just drop out of school after the writers gave her a 180???

The score was also awful. It sounded like a blown out sub woofer. WTF?

Hines and Macy(especially that hair!) really make this film better than it should be.
