Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Dark, Real and EmotionalA scary look inside the prestine suburbs of California, Chumscrubber shows us what it's like to be a kid in today's society where Bread, Circus and Finncial success are all that matter. The acting is very well done, especially for such young people, and the script is also quite good moving the characters along as they learn the lessons associated with their stations.

The screenwriter attempts to juxtapose serious and even tragic material next to flippant scenes of suburbanites who have lost their minds in a haze that apparently represents either medication-induced obliviousness to what their children are up to, or some kind of new-age disconnect from reality. It doesn't work. The quality of the script is at the level of a mediocre sitcom. What little depth occurs is restricted to the main ... Read More Rating: - Headless in HillsideAri Posin and Zac Stanford had met years before at a film festival in Houston. They became pals and collaborated on this film, with Zac doing most of the writing, and Ari sitting in the director's chair. One executive producer, Bonnie Curtis, had worked for years for her mentor Steven Spielberg. She took the CHUMSCRUBBER script to him, and he liked it, seeing many of the obvious plot parallels to DREAMWORKS mega-hit, AMERICAN BEAUTY (1999). He shared some comments on what he thought was a third ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
