"Hell, is a teenage girl."
16 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
As a perfectly straight guy, I can only imagine what kind of nutty stuff goes on in some girls' heads. This movie seemed to be sort of a female version of Fight Club. At least, it tried to be. I was getting the impression that the two girls might be the same person (Needy) whom Jennifer represents the "hellish teenage girl" conflict in Needy's coming-of-age, self-awareness, sexuality, and all that crap. Especially when her and Chip are in bed, and the fact that Jennifer disappears in various scenes. And I think the writer intended it to be a satire of all the vampire and indie bull out there. Anyway, even though it didn't make too much sense and its concepts could have been developed better, I found it disturbingly entertaining and couldn't stop thinking about it.

As for the feminist argument, the movie in fact works very much against it...all the more reason why a woman needs a man! (yes, men need women too)
