Wasted

Review: I didn't have very high expectations of this movie, but there were some pleasant surprises.Somehow the movie draws you in right away, and gets you to really care about what happens to the characters.Frightening how the teens seem to be completely different people than who their parents think they are...but as a former teen myself, and mom of teens today, sadly it is true to life. Some parts of the movie however, were just not believable.From my own experience, it is possible for a teen to be friends with kids that do drugs, and yet not do them. But there's got to be a reason for that, like healthy fear! (And I never saw anything as scary as the things that happen in this movie!) I just didn't buy that Chris went from drug free,athletic, seeing terrible things happening to his friends,trying to help them,even going to to NA meetings with Sam one day, to sticking a needle in his arm the next...

Review: I thought this movie was great, it actually really hit home when I first seen it, and definately made me think alot about how serious smack is. Im glad I saw this movie, cuz it was an amazing learning expierence. Theirs great music in the movie also, that coldplay song at the end of the movie is amazing. Goes perfect with the scene.

Review: Wastedm, hits home by showing the insanity of heroin use amoung teens. Heroin use is becoming very prevelent amoung middle class suburbanites, and the movie accuratley depicts the motions of addiction. It seems that MTV made a movie based on my life. Furthermore, the movie is a very dramatic, heartfelt peice of art.

Review: What we have here is a shallow MTV film tackling the subject of teens who abuse heroin. The viewer is supposed to sympathize with a bunch of spoiled suburban kids who don't do anything with their lives. To fight off boredom, the little darlings do a bunch of drugs. Gosh...it's not like they could do other things such as get a job, volunteer for a good cause or (gasp!) maybe even study and learn.

"Wasted" was shot on video and, yes, it looks like a music video. Some of the film is purposely fuzzy and out of focus. The camera is flailed all over the place like it was being handled by a monkey with serious ADD. The script may very well have been written by a focus group of 14 year old slackers.

MTV could have at least made a serious attempt to reach out to troubled teens. Instead, they took the easy way out by throwing together a thoughtless and trivial heap of junk. I guess this is what I should expect from a network which makes a profit by supporting a bunch of hateful, materialistic and misogynistic musical artists.
