It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Amphetamines: Case Study (1969) is another anti-drug short film about amphetamines (I actually agree with this film, speed is some nasty stuff) that's about some young guy who becomes strung out on diet pills. He picked up a bottle of amphetamines to try and lose weight. Pretty soon he was abusing the pills and popping them like candy. Whilst under the influence of "amps", he thought he could do a lot of things like fix radios and other appliances. He was taking stuff apart even though he knew nothing about repairing radios. We he comes down, he realizes that he broke all of his things.Not only can speed give you one hell of a heart attack, it can also melt your brain! Call it what you want, it's all the same with similar side-effects.Recommended because it's true!
