In My Pocket

Can't believe it won any kind of audience choice award. I also can't believe its rated as high as it is , even allowing for the cast and crew to have all voted it up. I expect that probably accounts for about half the votes though , so at about 6.9 without them voting your probably looking at a movie that's actually rated about 5.0 or so.

This movie started off with some promise technically but as it moved along it actually continually surprised me with each new unbelievable turn of plot , phony character , or contrived emotion. The cartoon characters in rehab , the awful forced romantic relationship, cripes.. I know something of addiction and rehab myself and it really did an EXCEPTIONALLY poor job of portraying either experience with any degree of authenticity.

What were these guys taking peyote? Why did his fairly well to do parents put their ""on his way to med school" kid in some kind of rehab that was like a state mental ward ? I could pick it apart more here but whats the point of kicking someone when their down. Don't waste your time...
