Mikey Alfred is a guy who was born affluent and has always had connections bcc of his parents (his mom worked/works) for paramount. And to me this movie just seems like a way for him to flex all the pro skaters and famous people he knows and can get to be in a movie

The setting in time was the most confusing part for me. The scene when they were at the diner felt like it was late 80s early 90s but then you see Miranda Cosgrove drive to school in like a 2020 Range Rover..

[@y0Fiqqy]

Im not trying to be rude , but the diner they shoot at is popular for having nights where people bring classic cars for a mini meet

[@andrewbrumley512]

The thing that bothered me about the movie the most (and I might be remembering this wrong) but the pros don’t look like good people at all in this film. They hang out with the nobody guy who tries to get the protagonist to basically violate a drunk chick and when the protagonist tries to tell the pros they’re like “oh so you just came to hate on our friend?” And as far as I remember they don’t cut that guy off or anything, which means these pros are still chilling with a dude that is inferred to be a sexual predator (or at least okay with witnessing it happening)

[@graxjpg]

Exactly

[@claysoggyfries]

You’re thinking too hard. He was just trying to hook the main character up with a girl but he was being a dickhead instead of just turning it down respectfully

@Andrew Brumley Oh my god. Mikey Alfred is creepier than I thought.

[@bakedizzle24]

a big thing w student films in my experience, especially the first ones that are made, is that people think the way they talk in real life with their friends will directly translate to the screen and be just as interesting. a lot of this writing has holes because to the people involved it made perfect sense, i don’t think they really sat down and criticized the script or any of their own acting. if anything this only proves that from a technical standpoint, mikey can make a movie. hopefully in the future he can use this movie to see he’s not ready for feature films yet

True Story. Used to be a moron drug addict. Went to jail in Marion County Florida for a few months.

There was a old jenkem interview with Dan Plunkett. He said your average sponsored skateboarder with a board, shoe and clothing sponsor makes around $3000 a month. Your favourite pro is as broke as you are. A sad reality most don't want to admit.

[@Fortuna_716]

I've skated w Plunkett a few times, he's from the same area as me. He was like 15 and I was around 18, dude ripped even as a kid, he just had it, I watched him kickflip a set and then immediately Ollie another one and my friend who introduced me says "there he goes" and that was pretty much it w Dan, when he was around you just watched him skate. Lol

because of this here video i watched the whole movie and then came back here to watch the review

[@jaybarclift4475]

my biggest issue with this film is not the quality of the film itself but the lack of actual, nonbiased constructive critism that mikey is getting for this movie. i think that illegal civ and its skaters (who are also in this movie) have such a cult following around the now following the releases of mid90s, ic3/godspeed, nico in all those movies, etc. i think a lot of illegal civ's supporters (this is no hate btw, i like what mikey does a lot but this movie was a miss for me) arent seeing past the fact that their favorite skaters are in this movie. i think many arent seeing the movie for its actual content and substance, or lack thereof, and are only seeing it because so and so is in the movie and thats why they like it. and i think this is the same reason why we arent seeing enough constructive critism. i think the lack of it will possibly hinder mikey in the future as he goes on to create more content

[@bvcoyle3903]

Also as this movie was first being released they said that if you leave reviews you can win boards and clothes, which is pretty much saying leave a good review and we will give you free shit. So this has resulted in sooo many fake reviews for this movie.

[@jaybarclift4475]

@@bvcoyle3903 right like i went on IMBD just to check out the reviews and a good 90% of them were reviews from people trying to win free boards and merch. not only is all of that shady asl and shallow, but even as a creator, mikey is never gonna get any real criticism for future movies if he keeps bribing his young impressionable audience with free stuff

Mikey Alfred said the main character “Michael” in the movie is based off of himself so him being a complete weirdo is pretty introspective & on point. I think it’s kinda cool that he’s self aware and willing to put himself on blast like that. There are some cringeworthy scenes in the movie like most of the dialogue between Ryder & Miranda, and the pacing is super weird but all in all I like the movie. I also totally agree Aramis carried this movie, I liked his acting the most
