GOATS (a movie)

[Dave (imported)]

It's a coming of age movie with lots of sexual things happening.

And for those prurient enough to ask -- no goat sex.

This kid, Willis, who's been raised on an Arizona farm by his Mother and her live in goat-herder-pot-growing-perpetually-baked boyfriend decides he's going to go to the same boarding school as his father did. Since his Mother refers to his father as "fucker Frank" and gets all tense and make the world miserable when the father is even mentioned, that's a source of struggle for him.

He gets to come of age. Life is MEH, and life is unfair and life must be lived on its own terms. Meh! As the kids say. Meh!

It's cute but not dramatic. Screams, yells, pot, and a few goats as pets.

It's weird fun but nothing new. Kid grows up, begins to understand adult parents are complete jerks but still love him.

It entertains when you can't fall asleep with some strange version of insomnia and you don't want to go online to make comments on Media-ite with the other political basket-cases.

But it isn't anything spectacular or even moving. Did I care about any of them when it ended? No. But I didn't feel like I wasted my time. That's the sin of this movie for me.
