MADE ME HUNGRY

nogodnomasters

The movie is not rated. It would be an R with the brief nudity, sexual situations, and occasional bad language (MF bomb).

The film starts out on a light note with 13 year old Ernest eating an egg roll sitting on a dumpster outside a Chinese restaurant. He is smitten by a 15 year old girl working at the restaurant with whom he shares life and growing up experiences. Ernest is in love, while the girl (Christine) doesn't hold the same feelings. (Such is life.)

There are some funny scenes and others that make you feel awkward. (Spoiler) The best acting scene was at the very end when he comes face to face with his mother. There is no conversation, just a look of understanding on both their faces. This would have been a great turning point for the film, but alas it ends here. Made me hungry for more.

Has anyone else ever eaten 3 day old Popeye's chicken they found left behind in a Motel room?

score 8/10
