Shock Therapy R Cool. I didn't even know that I could do a half of a star rating. Only because you have to pay for this movie, unless you do a free trial-immediate cancel, am I leaving this review. And this review is effortless because I'm not even going to reference the movie, that most certainly lacked any kind of brilliance—like that kid that actually has no discernible talent of any kind. How do you break it to him/her? 79 minutes later… I'm feeling kind of hungry. Oh, I'm still typing. Bye. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/22 Full Review farah r Another boring straight to DVD movie with a mediocre cast and a dull plot. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I found this film intriguing once Dylan, portrayed by Basil Harris "dumped his heterosexual" male friend Eric (Sean Nelson of indie band "Harvey Danger") and told him what an asshole and bad friend he was and had always been. A ten for courage for sharing those sentiments in such a honest, believable way without the usual votriol. Nelson was pitch perfect in his reunion scenes and the uncomfort level was palpable between he and Harris. The self absorption and audacity of Shelton's character Eric, had me constantly wondering what would finally make this dude uneasy enough to get the drift that he was totally out of line, insulting, rude, unwanted and bolt. Instead, it comes as a disappointment when Dylan acquiesces to Eric's s shallowness and they fall into old bonding patterns. This exposes the often complicated layers of friendships and relationships that don't work but work on some dysfunctional level. The closing scene is poignant leaving me to reflect how Eric's selfishness has in the end cost Dylan yet another friendship. This time with Jim. (Calvin Reeder). And...friends deep in the woods of eastern Washington are not that easy to come by.

I think I just enjoyed the overall simplicity of it and that it was a departure from usual Hollywood fair.
