The Four Faced Liar (2010 NR)

   The movie stars Marja Lewis Ryan, Emily Peck, Todd Kubrak, Daniel Carlisle, Liz Osborn, Lias Bierman, Natasha David, Jessie Paddock, and Tadia K Taylor.
   The plot is four people meet in a NYC bar and become friends as they sturggle to figure out what directions there lives should take. Its a 20 something comming of age.
   The four are very diffrent and I found it hard to think they would be friends.  I guess we all have friends that are totally diffrent from us from time to time.  A few were trying to figure out there sexual preferances.  I guess in late teens and early 20's are when people start thinking about that kind of stuff.
   I though the tone of the movie was trying too hard to be cool, hip and lnked into the 20's idea of cool.  It did not work for me but then again I am just a little older then the target audiance, I just might not get it. There were a few lines that seemed to hit the mark and seem smart and on targaret. 
   Some of the characters seemed one dimentional.  Some of them do try and break out of there one way of looking at life.  I thought it weird that one of the females would buzz someone in at 3am with out verfying who it was.
   One of the female leads in certain scenes look like a cross between Scarlett Johansson and Clair Danes, leaning more towards Danes If you like movies that answer all the loose ends of the movie this is not the movie for you.  Its not bad in case but there is no real resolution.
   Im rating this movie as a C- and would say skip it watch The Breakfast Club, a much better movie..
