it's one of those movies where the plot isn't really supposed to be spectacular, and it obviously indulges in objectification of hot women just a little bit too much to pass as an artistic statement (or being in good taste in general), but the hazy neon glow that oozes from it is enchanting. more than anything else that movie aims to make you feel a certain way, and it's a total success at that. i still remember being blown away at how Franco's character launches into Everytime by Britney Spears - a flawless choice that matches the tone of the film perfectly (though the execution on that particular sequence was a bit lacking, unfortunately).

Haha I totally forgot about that part tbh, I was kind of drunk when I watched it. It's definitely an "atmospheric" movie. It's all about creating a certain mood, a certain feeling, and in that it is pretty successful. By most of the markers which I usually judge movies with, it sucks, but like I said there is a lot of indescribable magnetism going on where you just can't look away.
