PLOT

REVIEW
I like watching films with untypical storylines construction but the problem with these kinds of movies is that you can forget what and why are you're watching it, especially if film doesn't do well. Same thing happened with this flick. Girls gone wild drama is horribly scripted, girls characters are one-dimensional, they act like they have no brains and don't know nothing about life. The worst part is that film doesn't gives us any insight and no real plot. It's just partying, drugs, violence and acting like 'gangsta' way of living is so badass and cool. On positive side: look and the cinematography of this film is unique, James Franco was very bizzare yet good at his portrait of Alien. Film is provoking and a sort of mockery of the modern mtv mindless teenage culture but it could be so much more. I think average movie goer will not be pleased, while big film critics really overestimated it. 2/5
