Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Jungleland (2020)

A fighter and his older brother live hand-to-mouth, hoping that they'll eventually catch a break. When the opportunity to make $100k comes they take it -- even though there is a pretty big string attached: they have to transport a young woman across the country along with them. So it becomes a weird roadtrip movie.

Plenty happens, e.g. a hookup with a bachelorette party attendee, a visit to the young woman's family home, breaking into a high school to spend the night... but it felt empty. Or maybe it just felt amateurish. The three Brits employing bad American accents certainly didn't help me suspend disbelief.
