It's Jeff's (Bryan Patrick Stoyle) senior year at college, and man what a year it's turning out to be. His best friend and roommate Todd (Andrew Mills) got married to some well off daughter of a car lot owner and moved out of the dorm, he's got a new geeky freshman dorm mate named Lionel (Thomas DeTrinis) who's totally in love with this bucktoothed jealous bitch of a girlfriend that he talks to on the internet constantly, and to top it all off, he ends up sleeping with the Dean's yummy blond secretary Suzanne (Melissa Carr) who turns out to only be sixteen years old and who has a plot cooked up with the Dean to embezzle the money brought in from the increased fees at the college. Unfortunately, she also decides to blackmail Jeff, who doesn't want anyone to know he had sex with a sixteen year old, and ultimately tries to set him up to take the fall after she kills the Dean so she can walk away with all the money herself. Throw into the mix April (Jaqueline Raymond), the girl who's been a friend to Jeff and ends up being his new girlfriend, and a guy (Robert Hinds) who may or may not be a cop running around acting like a cowboy and getting all tough with people, and that pretty much sums up Jeff's crappy senior year.
The biggest problem with this film is that while it has a general framework of a story, it's kind of like an episode of Seinfeld. There's a main bit of story, but the rest of it is really about nothing. Now when I say nothing, I don't mean nothing happens, but much of the film is just random stuff that happens in Jeff's day to day life that doesn't really have anything to do with the main story. In fact, if all the extraneous material was removed, this film could have been a nice, tightly edited short. What it ended up being was a long drawn out endeavor that's supposed to be a comedy / mystery, but really has very few elements of either.
However...
Even though that may sound harsh, I can't actually say the content of the film was bad. It actually kinda cruises along at a slow pace, literally showing the events that happen to Jeff in his day to day life. While the film doesn't really work well as a comedy or a mystery specifically, it does contain some of those elements. Nothing in this film is really laugh out loud funny, but a lot of it is kind of entertaining in a semi-amusing way. As for the mystery elements, well, not much of that makes a whole lot of sense or is even really focused on all that much until the end of the film, and even then it's all kind of ridiculous.
The acting in the film is, well...
I ding a lot of movies for having read / recited fakeness to the dialogue, but this film is a bit strange with that sort of thing. While much of the dialogue does have that feeling to it, it also has an element of naturalness to it as well that counteracts it in a way that keeps the film watchable and makes the characters somewhat enjoyable.
On a technical level, the film isn't too bad considering the equipment they were obviously using to make it. The sound could have been better at times but generally was ok, the editing was decent and moved the film along at a methodically average pace, the lighting wasn't bad either, with even the darker scenes being clearly visible and over all it was a pretty decent production. Considering it only had a budget of $220, it's actually pretty impressive what they accomplished.
While this film could have been tightened down a lot with the story, it's not really a bad film. It's not the next Citizen Kane, but it's not horrible either. It's just ok. It wouldn't be my first choice of a film to watch if I was bored, it certainly wouldn't be my last choice either.
As far as I can find, there isn't a website for this film, so I have nothing to direct you to for further information other than the IMDB page, which you can check out here.
