The first thing that jumps out at you about this movie, of course, is that its directed by Fred Durst. Thats right, from Limp Bizkit. I assumed, when I started the trailer, that it would be full of gang bangin, and/or dick and fart jokes. But to my surprise it looks like quite a grown up drama.

The movie already premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007, and has gotten some pretty good reviews at iMDB. Wouldn't it be a shocker if Fred Durst turns out to be the renaissance man of our generation?!

I was able to catch the Los Angeles Premiere of this movie, I and I admit, I was surprised by how grown up it was. The music (thankfully Fred Durst didn't contribute) suited the mood of the movie perfectly, and the young cast was a breath of fresh air. They announced an LA and NY release of the movie starting this friday, and i hope it makes it  a bit further than that... it's a great college-age movie for those of you sick of Jud Apatow fodder!
