Prey for the Hunted

Art, as they say imitates life. Most of us whether we want to admit it or not have done some really embarrassing things in order to impress a member of the opposite sex, especially in high school. Some of us played sports, some joined the yearbook committee, hell maybe some of jumped aboard with the Future Business Leaders of America. For all of us losers that had a droopy eye, a limp, or  were just plain awkward, there is an amazing little movie that may make you feel a bit better about that stint in the environmental club. Rocket Science . Write this down. Get a pen, and scribble down this little gem by Jeffrey Blitz. It is about a New Jersey kid, Hal Hefner, that suffers with a stutter who joins the debate team at the urging of a sly little minx who our hero on the bus. What ensues can only be described as fucking glorious. It tosses your ass in a time machine to when you were a hapless romantic kid fumbling all over yourself, but unlike your real life this leaves you feeling a better, and dare I say touched. The acting is first rate, the premise is hilarious, and it will give you more Emo street cred than all owning all the Mineral records on vinyl.
