Teenage Cocktail Audience Reviews

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
i SkyWalKing I understand it's a low budget film and I have NO issue with that, but the audio editing is GOD AWFUL and almost unbearable. I don't need to hear people chewing and munching and crunching non stop throughout the film. And there are MANY of these scenes. Why are the chewing and clinging sounds of spoons on plates at the dinner table ENHANCED to the same level as the dialogue, music etc? There is one note of audio through-out the film. From every creak of furniture to gulping of water, sniffing, scratching of pants, breathing, and just all types of unpleasant everyday audibles that DO NOT need to be enhanced on film...unless there is a purpose to it. This just felt like lazy audio editing.When it got to a scene where she was eating chips, i literally had to fast forward it a bit which was frustrating to do. I was seriously getting aggravated, I don't usually have such low tolerance for many films, but this one triggered me. This might seem like I'm making a LOT out of nothing, but these details are important and can make or break a film in many ways. The lead girl was also extremely agitating in her mannerisms and passive aggressive stupidity and naivety. She was not likeable in any way shape or form. I felt NO sympathy for her. That in and of itself does not make a film bad because that could (and I'm assuming was) done intentionally, but the overall combination of unlikable and downright irritating characters topped off with the infuriating sound effects made this a crappy film experience for me.
rockman182 An under the radar film that I'm sure many have not heard about, but hey, it was on Netflix. The premise sounded a little strange but like it could make for a fun time nonetheless. Didn't recognize the filmmaker or any of the main cast, besides Pat Healy. I dug him in Cheap Thrills but loved The Innkeepers, one of my favorite films from a little horror maker named Ti West. After watching Teenage Cocktail, I liked the portrayal between the two leads in the film but feel like major parts of the film were under-cooked.The film is about a lonely girl named Annie who one day meets and befriends a girl named Jules. Their relationship is complicated but for the most part they flirt with each other in capacity before they realize their relationship is real. Along the way the girls decide to make money off of being cam girls. The girls want to escape and run away together but problems in their life occur and they need cash. Feeling cash-strapped, the girls decide to offer themselves for money to a random stranger online. Interesting premise, but the ending is too wonky and really doesn't build on something that was good.The interactions between the lead actresses is great. You can feel the innocent but naughty connection between the two lovers. This relationship is at times portrayed very visually by great scenes of intimacy with close, personal camera shots and party themed fun and bright lights. The build-up to the film is oddly amusing. Its hard to figure where the film is headed as it makes itself seem to be a coming of age film, then a romance, then a thriller. Its all fine but I feel like Healy's character left more to be desired. The character has a lot going on but we don't really get to see a glimpse of his life before or after the ordeal.Thus, the end kind of just slaps you in the face. It seemed like the script had a good thing going but fumbled closing it out in a satisfying way. I feel like bits and pieces were cut out and that characters kind of turned 180 and you can't help but feel like the writing is off. It's still not a bad film, just far from perfect. I didn't really have any expectations and I can't say I'm overly annoyed by how things turned out. Its a bit of a mixed bag, but leaning more towards the positive side.6.5/10
Alice C The story is pretty boring and slow for the most part following the life of two teen girls who become friends and decide to try to make some extra money to runaway on a website allowing themselves to be filmed in compromising behavior wearing masks for money. They end involved sexually together and make some really ridiculous decisions as their lives continue to implode when their secrets are found out. The story would have been interesting to see what happens to them after the final scene when their lives would have been totally exposed and in ruin. Except it just ended. If you like unrealistic independent stories about oversexed teens this might be for you.
egyptiancotton Spoiler alert! Well not really description says teens trying to get away from overbearing parents? Previews shows girls performing on a webcam at one of the girls home? Is it just me or those too things don't go together? Overbearing parents just not around when girls are shooting soft core porn? U never meet one of the girls parents. I was off on martin luther king day and thought what the hell. The two girls relationship and the mother daughter relationahips worked nothing else done and the ending is not plausible and felt rushed. That being said the movie exceeded my expectations i would rate the movie a little better than a lifetime movie.two female leads and whoever plays the mom can have careers after this movie other actors shouldn't quit their day jobs. I never expect much from these low budget independent movies this one is better than the others ones i have watched. If your not bored watched something else.
