Memorable, crazy movie

Best movie ever!

A different way of telling a story

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The film encourages me on a personal level. I am a writer and have always been interested in whatever form it may take. Carson is a journalist who wants to have a future outside of this horrid town. In some ways, our main character is a bully. But what I like is that he actually is right on his views. His blackmailing people might be questionable but he makes the point that people stop believing in their dreams. This guy might be a dick but he believes in something. Think about how clichéd we can get in school. This guy rants and makes them feel it. I can relate to wanting all the stupidity around me to stop. And look, at least, you can tell why this guy is a dick. Just look at his parents! One need not look further. His point on ideas and where they come from is especially something that I think could be touched on little bit more both in this film and all films really. But this has the right feel and moral and outlook on life that I would love to see more people take seriously.

So this won't be the best film you've ever seen in your life, truth, but it will definitely not be a waste of your time.Must say I'm not a big fan of Colfer's writing, but this particular story succeeded in holding my attention. Why? Its difference. Not another "high school drama", this one shows some substantiality. Might be cliché, but you do relate with some situations throughout the film and end up satisfied by outcomes so 'down to earth'. The film has enough potential to make you laugh, cry and easily stop and take a second look at your life, at yourself. So I guess it's all about its message. There were times I actually forgot I was watching a movie, because it felt like I was reading someone's diary. That's how raw it is. Mostly, are you a writer? Intend to be one? You've just found yourself another reason to watch it."[...] that's how I live my life. From one dream to the next".

This is a fresh new take on the underdog of high school. Mainly because Carson Phillips (chris) refuses to be beat down by high school. And the lesson behind the story is just amazing. Getting the most out of life simply by believing in yourself and not worry what the world thinks about you. Stand up for your beliefs! The ending was uncalled for though. But i guess that was what made the movie stand out even more. Every time the problems piled up for Carson, i felt myself getting angry for him but his reaction to the situations blew me away. It may be dark at the end but its still full of humor. A heart-warming story! And Chris Colfer did a great job. Don't think anyone else would have been able to pull of that role!

Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer) is a high school agitator. He runs the school newspaper where nobody other than him has submitted any stories. He is the school outcast, and he hatches a plan to blackmail everybody to submit stories to his literary magazine.I love the cast in this movie, but Chris Colfer really needs to rework this story. It rambles on, all the while we know the guy is going to die by lightning strike. The story feels underdeveloped, and in the end pointless. While I love the actors, the characters are all very 2 dimensional. Chris Colfer's character comes off as too whiny and too angry. He is so myopic that he doesn't even realize he has a friend. I love Rebel Wilson, but she isn't allowed the freedom to go crazy. The whole thing is one big woe-is-me. As a black comedy, it doesn't get very deep and it really doesn't get very funny.
