ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

computer-18108 There was nothing about this movie that wanted you to like or empathize with Harper and Allie. As more misfortune occurs to them you are simply wanting more bad things to happen to them just to make you get pulled into the story line -- a little! The gaps between the main actors lines were annoying at times. As if they were unsure of their lines or their cues. Good friends don't interact this wayThe best part of the story is when the Indian cab driver throws their a**es out of the car. That was realistic interaction with the cab driver.Best line of the movie delivered summed it up: "The Millennials are F**ked!"

Luca Dryden Rarely have I felt such outright rage at fictional characters. Reading over reviews I am stunned and could vomit by the weirdos who found these two characters endearing. They are not sweet or cute or good in any way. One could even deem them as fitting the banality of evil. Who the heck lets kittens drown ? Allie and Harper are basic betches in Brooklyn who don't have a shred of insight. Harper is the slightly worse of pair. The type of person who thinks they're an artist. But they're empty inside. So most people in Brooklyn. Allie is an SJW type , but Luke warm one at best. These two are so completely clueless and awful that it is quite entertaining for most of the movie. When they finally near their destination but are tired and cranky they find adorable, abandoned kittens. Instead of calling it a day and heading some with lovely kittehs, they place them in a deep trash can and continue their mission. Once failing comically to hang out with two guys they met a party, they get a ride home without saving the kittens. Harper shows the faintest hint of responsibility by calling 911 and reporting that there are kittens in a trash can somewhere The concerned 911 operator stops harper from hanging up and begs her help the kittens since it is about to rain and the kittens will drown. Harper blanks out and pretend her phone dies. So any semblance of caring was too weak to manifest. Allie also shows a glimmer of responsibility when she informs her neighbor that the bike she borrowed from him was stolen. Again, one feels that these women are just abortions of humans. There will be no growth. One wishes that the movies ends with the two characters struck by a large asteroid.

kvnsodak The movie's premise is something with some potential. The characters are good in that they are similar in some ways and polar opposites in others. The dialog is good and it is well acted. However, it never captures the viewer. It always seems like the movie is going to pick up and then it never does. There were so many opportunities for great comedy that were just completely missed. The bike stealing scene for example could have been turned into something rather than simply having the characters stare blindly as their bicycle is stolen. It felt like the movie went on forever and the premise got thinner with each passing minute. I wish I could recommend this film because I love independents but it just simply never got going and the director, where as it was very well shot, really let some good opportunities slip away.

David Massey If ever you wondered what happened to the 'valley girl' ethic, rest assured that it is alive and well in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Harper (Bridey Elliott) & Allie (Clare McNulty) are 20-something best friends whose parental affluence hasn't really required them to mature in the years since college. This comedy follows their ill-conceived attempt at being thrifty as they choose to bike (rather than taxi) across Brooklyn to a Rockaway Beach party. These are two of the most vapid and shallow characters ever portrayed as protagonists - they don't learn a thing as they spend hundreds of dollars during their 10 mile odyssey - and that's what's so funny. As for winning the SXSW Grand Jury Prize, I can totally see the comparisons with, festival darling, Lena Dunham's 'Girls' - which is a guilty pleasure of mine - but, where Dunham's wit and goofy characters coax empathy, the 'Fort Tilden' characters have no apparent redeeming qualities. I laughed a bit but this is no Patsy & Edina or Romy & Michele; I got more than my fill of Harper, Allie, and their equally self-centered world.
