The Chumscrubber
The movie focuses on the chain of events that follow the suicide of a teenage drug dealer in an idealistic but superficial town. After his death, three local teens want what's left of his stash of pills and they kidnap a little kid, only to know that it's a wrong move.

Sadly, despite Bell's eye-catching performance and Glenn Close's disturbing Stepford Wife portrayal, I found this messy movie as self-absorbed as most of its characters.
June 08, 2007
It's a surreal, offbeat comedy where the kidnappers are hopelessly inept while Bell feels hopelessly at sea.

An appallingly clumsy and stupid take on drugs, kidnapping and suicide in suburbia.

Whether the good performances, or sheer twisted attitude it presents to the same old formula, I enjoyed it, and the story.
August 08, 2005
There are some very good performances and some strong writing.

An impassioned and occasionally mesmerizing first effort that's at once messier, more complex and more ambitious than many recent suburban dystopias.

Despite the top-drawer cast assembled for his debut feature, the director Arie Posin's account of emotional dislocation in the 'burbs is stymied by a fatally uneven tone and a growing suspicion that we've been down this road many, many times before.

The story of the film: Studio money chasing after the cult-film audience and getting all the superficial elements right while missing the spirit entirely. It's the cinematic equivalent of Candlebox.
August 05, 2005
It's neither funny nor sad, and it's filled with cheats, phony come-ons and red herrings.
June 07, 2007
Much like its characters: decorative, entertaining and emotionally empty.
