Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Athens' biggest failing is not that its story is so commonplace and dull, but that its characters are so underdeveloped that it's difficult to tell them apart Rated: 2/5 Nov 20, 2006 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Eric D. Snider EricDSnider.com The danger of telling a story about people who are bored is that it might be boring. Rated: C- Jun 30, 2005 Full Review Josh Bell Las Vegas Weekly Much like its characters, the film is aimless and annoying, and doesn't end up anywhere interesting.

Audience Member 110710. The preview made this movie seem like a good one to me. All that I can say is that I found this film slow, uninspiring and purposeless. Goes to show that if you take all the good clips from a movie, and splice them all together into a preview, you can really suck people in. Basically, this film displays how fragile life can be and how much risk we really take as young people, often without knowing it. It shows how shallow minded we are when we're young. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member awful, the acting sucked, the story was horrible. Jorge Garcia really let me down, he did Hurley amazing for yrs and yrs and in this one his accent was awful and he just embarrassed himself pretty much. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member No actual direction or point of interest throughout the entire movie. I was underwhelmed by the climax. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Another tasteless movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member sadly too simple. But one things still good... the falling down of a fu**ed up generation of looser. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The main problem with creating a film about bored teenagers is you yourself become bored. This movie was no exception. Nothing happened the entire time and when it finally does, the ending is forced and purposely made to be sad. Sort of like the filmmakers trying to make you feel guilty for falling asleep on this borefest. Horrible acting, terrible plot and just simply boring. After a while I could care less about this film or its characters. I think I actually mentally tuned out. This film was all over the place, aimless, not knowing what genre it wanted to be in, the ending was lame and even thinking about this movie is making me annoyed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
