Review of Towelhead (2008) by David S — 17 Jun 2009
A disaster from start to finish. All of the characters are one-note, and they're all the wrong note, building into a cacophony of crap. Once scenes start lasting more than approximately eleven seconds (around the 50 minute mark or so), the movie actually settles down into just plain terrible.
The teenagers are, I suppose, meant to be naive, but they come off as stupid. The adults have zero depth. The film itself feels like we're being whipped around from one scenario to the next, none of them interesting but all gradually building in outrageousness.
There are what seem to be genuine moments of adolescent sexual discovery, but these oases of reality are surrounded and drowned by deserts of the ridiculous and the prurient.
