1994-a kid graduating high school forms a friendship with a shrink to whom he sells weed. The kid has the hots for the shrinks daughter...step daughter. Its a story that takes place in 1994 when Rudy Giuliani was just in office as mayor.
Good but annoyingly mannered (its constantly referring to the fact its 1994, everyone smokes in big clouds, and other quirks that keep being repeated) story that has some great lines, some great characters and this annoying manner that is so in your face you want to scream "okay I know I get it". What were they thinking? Why do we have to put up with these constant visual cues (the smoke) and aural cues (the music-which is good) and the time warp references? Its like being hit over the head. Whats worse is that there are several lines of dialog that are out of place for 1994, like peace out.
In all honesty this could have been one of the better films of the year-and in pieces probably still is- if it didn't insist on show casing these annoying quirks.
Worth a try on cable
