The Best
Eight Grade
Eighth grade is that time in a young
person’s life when they start experimenting with drugs that aren’t prescribed
for their ADHD.
Mind you, the only high the teenager in
this dramedy is looking for is the rush of getting Istagram likes.
Soft-spoken Kayla (Elsie Fisher) hopes her
Youtube tutorials on self-confidence will garner a following beyond her
single-father (Josh Hamilton). But as the end of the school year approaches
Kayla’s popularity on and offline is at an all time low. Excited about high
school, she starts hanging out with older kids and experimenting with sex, all
in an effort to breakout of her introverted shell.
The most authentic depiction of the
tribulations facing today’s iGen to date, this awkwardly hilarious and aptly
directed coming-of-age tale perfectly captures adolescent dialogue, while
newcomer Fisher brings empathy to her generation’s anxieties.
Unfortunately for today’s connected youths,
it’s impossible to ever skip class.
The Worst
The Happytime Murders
The simplest way to murder a puppet is to
sever the hand shoved up its ass.
However, the murderer in this comedy has
more elaborate eliminations in mind.
When googly eyed cast members of The
Happytime Gang sitcom start dropping dead, Phil, a dishonoured puppet cop
turned PI, must re-team with his human ex-partner Connie (Melissa McCarthy) to
find the killer. But as the felt bodies pile up the FBI (Joel McHale) start
sniffing around and Phil finds himself the prime suspect. Now Connie and Phil’s
sectary (Maya Rudolph) must prove his innocence.
While the concept of an R-rated Muppet Show
from Jim Henson’s son sounds provocative, the end result is anything but.
Plagued by gross-out jokes concerning the bodily fluids of marionettes,
director Brian Henson tarnishes his family’s name for the sake of this vile
venture.
Incidentally, the lifeless corpse of a
murdered puppet makes one helluva dust rag.
