No direct plot other than a teen lost, but doesn't tie into anything special. Just seems to go on, and on, and on. I have no idea why this has 100% 5 stars, sorry to break it up.

If he were even a fraction as appealing to the audience as he so mysteriously is to everyone in the film, Skateland would be much more engaging. Full Review

There's nothing bad about Skateland, in fact, particularly for those old enough to remember the clothes, the feathered hair and the soundtrack. There's just nothing new, or anything that hasn't been done before, and better. Full Review

Though leaning too heavily on period tunes and the templates of Mr. Linklater and John Hughes (to whom the film is dedicated), Mr. Burns has a distinctly spacious style that gives female characters room to breathe. Full Review

Dedicating a movie to John Hughes doesn't equal capturing the master's ear for the universality of adolescent angst. Full Review

Not on the same artistic level as "The Last Picture Show" yet has its own integrity and value - and a fine array of performances. Full Review
