CGiii Comment
So...directed by a director of repute.
Seemingly....the most successful web-series of all time.
The truth...what the hell happened?!?
Making a web series into a movie just doesn't involve splicing all the episodes together! As is the case here.
There is no flow, no continuity...the sad thing is...there are moments of genuine inspiration. But, why show gay life so negatively?
Yes, we know there are some a-holes out there...but, why focus on them at the expense of the naïve?!?
Its's only 55 minutes long...so, it's not a movie. But...it does have its moments...and then, it has moments that you will want to forget.
And...Jake is the oldest 18 year old we have ever seen! Moisturize, babycakes...or, sack the casting director!
[55 minutes is NOT a movie]. Stephan you can do so much better than this!
Watch...
