Ngl the trailer seemed promising. Was not willing to spend the $19 for an e-viewing so waited till yesterday to hit the 4.99 rental on Apple TV. And wow for all the promotion and hype it was not by any means good. I went into not with high hopes but not expecting what we got.
I’ll say some nice things first. Great camera work, soundtrack, color grading. It does come off very professional, high production. Tyshawns Ss flip up the set at baker boys park.
But wtf is this plot, NOTHING HAPPENS. The entire time every scene is like two lines and 20 seconds and it just keeps jumping around from nothing to nothing. The main character probably calls his dad “pops” one thousand times no joke. Just fucking call him dad or just talk to him, we know he’s your fucking dad we get that. There is no ending, no point, no purpose. He skates, likes a girl, gets into a childish fight with his friends, tries to be cool, gets beat up, goes to church, and then cries over daddy issues and it’s over. For what. Someone help me out here, Mikey goes on and on about how it’s the first movie about going Pro, when he maybe gets on flow? Gets one box? Like what??? Miranda Cosgrove is punching the air right now thinking this is gonna reshape her acting career.
