CGiii Comment

A thoroughly horrid film.

HOLLYWOOD: STOP MAKING THIS IRRESPONSIBLE POOP!

Middle class, pretty white boys with attitude and stable homes....burdened with attitude and trust funds. Ghastly.

A minor (offensive) gay character just adds to the overall offensiveness.

A sort-of noxious Fight Club for pre-pubescent, spot-popping irritants.
