Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Nelson Strang Looks great and some of the acting is actually pretty OK, but where's the effing story? Nothing happens, nothing to engage you, no dramatic questions are raised. And in no Universe could this film ever be described as a comedy. Give this one a wide berth.
caborel-87890 Lars the Emo Kid is a must see! The director, Joe Grisaffi did a brilliant job in portraying the messages of what teens may go through in tough situations at home, school and not to mention dealing with depression, death, social awkwardness and peer pressure. The characters were believable and very relate-able. The film delivers a serious message while being very entertaining at the same time. This is a great movie for teens to see they are not alone in their troubles and there is hope for a better day. Paxton Gilmore, Nicole Elliot, and Sara Gaston are outstanding actors in the film. This is a must see film for the teen years and above! I highly recommend this very entertaining and heartfelt film. So good I will watch again!
laurenbonetti This movie does a great job exploring depression and related issues that teens (or really anyone) face, without being too "dark" or "heavy." It was the perfect movie to lift my spirits on a rainy, gloomy day. The characters are quirky and funny, yet totally believable and relatable. There is one scene in particular, involving shopping carts (I won't say more so as not to spoil), that had me laughing out loud. Kudos to the writer/ lead actor, Paxton Gilmore. His portrayal of Lars really carried this film. Also to the director, Joe Grisaffi, who pulled everything together nicely. Overall, a great independent film! I highly recommend it!
heatherjanechambers Lars the Emo kid is an independent movie which manages to simultaneously entertain and deliver a serious message. Director, Joe Grisaffi, works his synergistic magic here pulling together great writing, genius casting and his own talent to create a cinematic experience that defies it's budget.The characters are believable without going over the top, but never take themselves too seriously. Lars the Emo Kid is underpinned by gentle wit with occasional laugh out loud moments when it all gets too ridiculous. Go see this movie, and make sure you take a troubled teen with you. Nicole Elliott, Paxton Gilmore and Sara Gaston are the stand-out talent in this feature.
