'Don't Look Up' Wasn't Much to Look Up to
Adam McKay might have been more concerned with cramming cameos than he was in this story which is a bloated criticism of the rich and famous… delivered unto us by the rich and famous.
Mixed ‘N’ Match
Single-gender schools allow few chances for campus romance. Will inter-school activities provide the right opportunity? Ryan is both eager and afraid of mingling with the opposite sex after studying in an all-boys school for years. One day his friend Jayden makes him join a mixed choir formed with an all-girls school. There, he meets the enthusiastic singer Carol. Unexpectedly, Cupid’s arrow carries more than love itself. Ryan will also have to face life lessons such as a test of friendship and the unfairness of the school system. The film’s manga-like style and humourous scenes establish perfect comic timing. The innocence and ignorance of youth come alive while the ending suddenly turns into an anti-climax that reveals the bitterness of growing up amidst shattered ideals.
