Cute little Indy

[troy-boulton · 5/10 · 29 July 2019]

As a low-budget Indy, Rink is relatively competently constructed and works quite well. Nothing in the film is exceptional, but the film is certainly watchable. The characters are often endearing - if overdrawn even for a quirky comedy - and the dialogue has enough spark to carry a plot in which not a great deal happens. This is a camped- up snapshot of American suburbia and its functional dysfunctionals that lacks finesse but has its charms. Timing could be tightened up, and some of the sequences compacted and/or removed, but as the work of a young crew, this team shows some promise. None of the acting is stellar, but Zach Honer is one to watch for possible future character roles that call for an awkward, quirky yet appealing type; along with Ann Keen, he is probably one of the best cast leads.

Terrible

I watched the whole thing to be sure. Stupidest thing I've ever watched.

Great movie

This movie is all about finding yourself and realizing how your past can interact with your future. All about small towns and how being in a small town mentality will affect more than just you.

Surprisingly enjoyable

For a low-budget Indie film, this was actually quite good. If you go into it with the understanding that it's low budget and some of the actors have little to no experience, you'll be pleasantly surprised. It has a very realistic feel to it and the characters are likeable.

There were times I laughed out loud and it also made me cry a few times.

Overall, I recommend it.
