I Used to Go Here

Movie is "amateurish effort", "pretentious prose", "boring", "terrible cover", just like the protagonist's book.

I’m sorry I am not normally a film snob AT ALL, but I really did not like this. The writing and line delivery was so flat and strange considering I’ve seen a few of these actors act well in other roles and liked them - the whole films dialogue felt just like listening to some bad background NPC dialogue in an old video game… And to add more I didn’t like about this film, for some reason it decided to include THREE different inappropriate relationships with large power and age gaps literally within 15 minutes of each other, playing all of them off as fine and humorous. The 50 year old college professor (who is married) is frequently sleeping with/hitting on his students? Completely normal! A college student kisses his friends 60-ish year old mother after spending about 20 minutes with her? Yeah that’s fine! And the 35 year old published author, who has been offered the position of professor at the college, who comes to the college to do a reading for the students, sleeps with one of them too? That’s just what we do around here apparently! So weird and uncomfortable to watch, and also boring… :/
