I actually enjoyed this review more than the movie. I completely agree with you on Mason Jr’s ‘philosophy’. I felt like the whole portrayal of his character was a bit propaganda-ish. He was a bit too annoying and a bit too forceful about his opinions that it felt like the writer/director was trying to influence the audience to think like that too through the use of Mason. No wonder he get dumped by his girlfriend, he was so damn moody in his teenage years. As for the awkward acting… i think a lot of that had more to do with the people they were interacting with. They weren’t so bad themselves, but there was no give and take, the other actors were making it a bit hard for them to actually appear natural.
Anyway, great review. And yes…the hair. It was that one phase that will forever remain in our nightmares.
