Review of Twelve

Twelve (2010)
3/10
Movie about drug dealers and shallow people
12 May 2012
This is basically a TV movie drama that revolves around drugs, teens that are either addicted or superficial/materialistic or both. The thing is everything about this movie just seemed cheap, even the dialogue. None of the characters are likable and even irritating to watch. Cause the stupidity of some of the characters really does get annoying after a while. I know this movie is trying to show how stupid decisions can really mess your life up. But it sort of felt like a documentary showing how bad drugs are with a whole lot of drama thrown in. It might be a okay movie to show youngsters to stay away from drugs but it sure ain't a entertaining one to watch. I sort of liked the message of living in a fantasy or false reality when it comes to some these teens look to while being very judgmental shows how people like them can be easy targets. And how there actions to other people can lead to there own downfall. And how popularity isn't everything in life and by trying to please everyone you end up hurting yourself. So yeah I liked few of the messages but it all doesn't get put together in one coherent package. And the direction of it all is just boring to watch, maybe because it's over the top and doesn't come off as being all that realistic. Yeah, movies don't have to be realistic to be enjoyable but this one needed to be. It sort of comes off kinda comedic at times because it almost comes off as a skit. The only thing that stands out about this movie is the cast and that is about it for the most part.
