Trailer Synopsis Cast

On a hunt for the Fountain of Youth, three teenagers in '80s Honduras buy drugs, harm nature and have magical encounters. Long silent jungle sequences, a meditation on Mayan Archaeology and a heavy TV teen vibe make Blondes in the Jungle at once an absurd comedy and a serious film about the possibility of spiritual growth in a world of instant gratification.

The children of immigration, here to stay, are the new Americans. How we fare in welcoming them will determine the nature of this country in the 21st century and beyond. The International High School is a New York City public school dedicated to serving newly arrived immigrant teenagers, with more than 300 students speaking two-dozen languages from 50 countries. The students strive to master English, adapt to families they haven't seen in years, confront the universal trials of adolescence, and search for a future they can claim as their own. In "I Learn America," five resilient immigrant teenagers come together over a year at the International High School at Lafayette and struggle to learn their new land. Through these five vibrant young people, their stories and struggles, and their willingness to open their lives and share them with us, we "learn America."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Not since the Blair Witch Project had I encountered a "cast" that I could care so little about that I was hoping they would all be murdered. The "story" is centered around a small group of white, privileged dolts in their early 20s who are, for some reason, searching for the fountain of youth . (Do they want to go back to being babies? Mentally, they seem to still be there)'Director' Lev Kelman will defend this film saying "it's supposed to be bad" and that he loves "bad movies" and sought to make one. He seems to entirely miss the point that what makes "bad movies" so good is that they are earnest attempts at making good movies that for one reason or another or for a slew of them, go wrong, but are still entertaining or interesting, even if just for their oddity. But he comes across (in speaking and through his 'work') as someone who creates simply because he can, not because he should and not because he has some passionate artistic vision that needs to be realized. The dialogue is excruciatingly painful to listen to - if it were happening on a subway car, most people would switch cars at the next stop. The 'scenes' are inter-cut with non-sequitur shots of nature with an electronic soundtrack overlaid that seems to be implying something "deep". If the film were only that, it may actually make an alright backdrop for another event, though still would be on such an amateur level that I would be surprised to see it outside of a filmmaking 101 course. If I could give this film negative stars, I would.
