I expect more

This film reminds me of the hilly town in Edward Scissorhands, and there is a piece of music in it that also has some similarities to Edward Scissorhands. The film mixes elements of American campus comedy, suspense thriller, romantic light comedy and dark humor, but unfortunately it is too mixed but not properly reconciled, making people not addicted to watching it. Once you watch it, it's even more disappointing. It just proves once again that it is impossible to create a first-class movie just by playing with the mysteries of handsome men and beauties.

    Chicken blood + dog blood, chicken feathers all over the place.

    Some parts are not bad, but the chest is very tight after watching it.... I was surprised that Ralph Fiennes would show up, but I didn't expect that there were still many scenes; the little brother who played the invisible man turned out to be an acting school! The hooligan is really good; the little brother who plays Charlie Bratley is also good, of course, mainly because of his looks and mouth.

The Chumscrubber quotes

  • Crystal Falls: [after Crystal's friends have mocked Troy's death to humiliate Dean] Look, I just wanted to apologize for what happened back there.

    Dean Stiffle: Why? Did you do it?

    Crystal Falls: No, but my friends did.

    Dean Stiffle: Oh. Some pretty nice friends you got there.

    Crystal Falls: What are you saying? It's better to have no friends at all?

    Dean Stiffle: Actually, yeah. Yeah it is.

  • Mrs. Johnson: [at Troy's memorial] It's my fault. I know it is. I didn't even know him... I didn't know my own son.

    Dean Stiffle: Troy wanted to play guitar in a rock band. Be famous. But he knew he wasn't any good, and he felt stupid for wishing that. He had a crush on this girl since he was 13... That he never talked to - but he probably wished he would've. He liked you. But he felt sorry for you. He was afraid that he'd be like his dad. He was really, really smart. But he kept all his ideas to himself, unless you asked. He took great pictures of people without them even knowing... I miss him, you know? He was my friend. He was my best friend. And I hate myself, that I didn't even know he was about to do this.

    [pause]

    Mrs. Johnson: ...Thank you.
