Should have been called "Getting on your nerves!"

Ultra low-budget independent little flick that wants to play like THE INTERVIEW but hasn't the stomach for it.

The idea was sound enough! Have three teenage misfits break into a house and spend the rest of the day there playing VIRGINIA WOOLF. Lets pile on the adolescent angst, the "I hate my parents" routine, throw in a dash of "wish I could have sex one day" etc, and we're a sure thing for an AFI award!

I tend to exaggerate - its not THAT bad and the mainly unknown actors do a job of sorts, its just that one is left with an underwhelming impression of "who cares?" We were ALL teenagers - we remember!

Troy Wellington scripted himself and did a tradesman like job if the truth be known. Cinematography, which really had few opportunities to excel was in the experienced hands of Kim Batterham.

Probably a 6/10 if you want to be generous! Was also known by the rather oddball aka: THINGS AND OTHER STUFF

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
