If you haven't watched it yet Cinemaphile go watch it.

I hated it. I thought it was going to be comfy and it was depressing as hell.
Are we discussing Sideways or The Holdovers?
Both.
The face of a goon pro
I wonder if he actually smells irl.
He looks like a teen to me. Perhaps too tall, but some of them get their growth sprout very early. (I'm aware the actor isn't actually a teen.)
What was depressing about it?
giamatti's character is a self loathing loser. the kid's dad is at a mental hospital. the movie ends with the teacher getting fired.
Okay anon, you're the script doctor. What do you want to see happen?
I’d probably have to read the script that they stole most of this movie from. Last I saw dude is trying to get the wga to do something
The only way Giamatti's character grows is leaving the school. It's the only thing he knows, he could only find a woman attached to the school that still wouldn't date him. It was an anchor attached to him that wouldn't allow him to grow.
in other words, fricking depressing
Eh it sucked.
It was awesome.. the person who made the commercials for it should be hung.
Nah it's not Christmas time so I'll pass.
im going to go to my grave having watched lots of great movies and shows and not making a big deal out of any of it.
See the fat colored hoe and knew it was woke trash
She feels completely superfluous, the movie would be almost the same without her
It was decent, not brilliant or anything. Quite derivative of older films.
The b-plot with the obnoxious black lady was pointless and out of place and should have been cut entirely.
Paul's performance was excellent and the best thing about it.
Frick you, the scene with her pregnant sister was KINO
In style maybe, but the legacy admission pipeline is a new complaint popular only after 2010's. The scene of Paul lying out of his way when running into old school mate is more like a 1920s-30s plot device that's done well enough to shift the main dynamic.
>legacy admission pipeline is a new complaint popular only after 2010's
It's like the 60s WASP Ivy League overthrow never happened
>the legacy admission pipeline is a new complaint popular only after 2010's
aww, you're adorable.
how many years young? double-digits tho right? you're a big boy - but not too big for a lollipop, amirite?
Did the way Obama's term change how people talk about privileges earned or by inheritance pass you by? Prep school envy wasn't a big deal before jobs were outsourced to China, because labor had value.
>legacy admission pipeline
The fact that American unis don't even try to hide this is like shitting right in the face of every honest hard-working student in the USA.
Amazing you people haven't done something about it.
I think Americans secretly like living in a two-tier country - they all believe one day maybe they'll be rich too lololol
you won't.
Which eurotrash country are you from?
none
which bogged shop-lifter's paradise state are you from?
How did you know I was from California?
I honestly wonder how people who aren't complete fiends actually survive California.
The size of middle class + cost of living are key. When those are widely accessible to many, class consciousness isn't the same as in UK.
>The b-plot with the obnoxious black lady
I thought it was handled beautifully, and more subtly than the main plot.
Fricking moron. Her plot was the best part of the whole movie.
>watch a christmas movie
>in april
No thanks
>Here's that highschool kid I was telling you about
They didn't know about hydration before the 1990s. This is how teens looked.
teens never looked 20-30
why does Hollywood do this?
The younger kids in detention, including the Korean, felt like a TV sitcom. That was the only flaw.
One of those movies I immediately called my mom and told her to watch as soon as she could. Comfy, just one of those realistic as it can get slice of life films. Incredible layers & depth for a simple plot.

Sorry, I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on Payne's garbage
I did not care for the schmaltzy insincerity on a technical level and on an artistic level
>Asks if the teacher is a virgin
>Immediately takes him to a museum to prove he isn't
It would have won an Oscar if they substituted Paul Giamatti for Cliff Claven from Cheers.
let's simmer down here, it wasn't bad but it was standard awards slop
