a terrible movie, but it's nice to see that AnnaSophia Robb managed to grow her arm back.

this is why i don't go to sundance. regressive, self-satisfied, coming-of-age drivel... not a moment of novelty or cinema. the lead is leaden, one of the most egregious examples of the recent trend of male protagonists who are so obviously ciphers for a bland *experience* that they're almost entirely devoid of the most basic human emotion or capacity for action, so that simply doing SOMETHING becomes a climactic event. sam rockwell is terrific, but missing 4 weeks of his prime.
