Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down

Review: Basically..
a film about partygoers in their mid 20s in los angeles.
The movie left me with a dried out feeling. I first enjoyed the beginning, some comical anecdotes to human behavior and the ever- frequent topic of discussion of the two sexes and their quest in the sexual plethora of senses and interaction. Something a sociologist is very eager to write about, and many to offer their opinions through various medias; and the number of books concerning this subject ever popular in the social mainstream. With that said, the movie followed along the said guidelines like some of the other teenage type or more really younger adult - .. I recall Road Trip; had some really funny scenes , that even at my age I still chuckle under the belt at - so to speak- like when the skinny white guy is high and imagines the dog telling him ' tell that bitch to make some blueberry pancakes." While he's smoking in the backyard of a house . The movie itself isn't spectacular, if you want that - a recent film- Spring, Summer, Autumn, Fall" - Spectacular, eye-gripping scenes, slow prose, almost like poetry the movie is awfully sublime. & Others like Eel, Takashi Miike at his most introspective of a snapshot of living. or Taste of Tea, a cute, and very charming movie, full of the wonderful aspects of this genre. Anyways- I thought this movie , would have more of a charm to showing the sexuality between man and women, the chemistry so often socialized and contextualized. It did, but yet then it went off into a coke drama- and left me with a dried out feeling. Like the feeling when you did do too much alcohol..(for me last night- 3 pitchers at the place beneath our apartments- one Stone Levitation & another- light Pilsner. my head is still tipsy)... No the movie had solid points- but alittle too much meth or lab based drug talk, which is cool I guess- you never really hear it open anyways. so All in all, guess it aint so bad after all. Just don't expect anything less.
