i love the post-mid90s/lady bird era that we live in i think it’s a great time for cinema
miranda cosgrove bringing a skater boy to a house show for the garden literally does not compute in my mind. girlboss!
There are countless different coming-of-age movies about kids who learn to blaze their own trail and become the best possible version of themselves (shoutout to the pride of Sacramento, Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson), but “North Hollywood” is one of the rare few that actually embodies the courage of its convictions both on-screen and off. On second thought, make that less on-screen than off.
Written and directed by Mikey Alfred (a 25-year-old renaissance man whose prior accomplishments include founding the skateboard company Illegal Civ and co-producing Jonah Hill’s “Mid90s”), “North Hollywood” grinds out a familiar but knowing portrait of a scrawny California teen who’s forced to choose between the beaten path and his dream of becoming the next Tony Hawk. Half-sketched…
this movie had so much potential but has the most unlikeable main character i’ve ever seen😐
This film is the definition of trying too hard... the music choices, the cinematography, the performances and script were a complete mess. The plot is so fucking thin, which wouldnt be a problem if the characters were at least a bit likeable, but they are all sooo fucking annoying. But the absolute worst thing about this film, is the terribly forced dialogue. The dialogue felt like it was written by either a 40 y/o trying to relate to younger audiences, or a tone deaf 30 y/o that has never read a book
