Re: Adult World
I thought this was very well-done. Both Emma Roberts and Evan Peters were great and John Cusack does well in a smaller role. It was pretty charming and upbeat, and I would be shocked if it wasn't picked up by a distributor. B+

Re: Adult World
This was filmed minutes from my house. A lot of it was also filmed in a house of someone I know and Emma Roberts came into my work and I waited on here. I'm excited to see it.

I'm excited to see it. Do you know which scenes? I believe it was Emma Roberts' home. The woman I don't know well (she was a regular at my store) but she told me about it and I saw her family on the news about a year ago while they were filming. They showed a bit of filming on the news with people chasing Roberts out of the house and she runs into a minivan.

Re: Adult World
Oh yeah, I know exactly which scene it is then. It's supposed to be the birthday party of her character.

Re: Adult World
I read a few days ago there is supposed to be a screening here in a month or two. If it isn't too expensive I want to go. It is so cool my home city is on film.

Re: Adult World
Yeah, I was at the world premiere and they had just finished editing it like a week beforehand so I'm sure that it will screen more in the coming months - especially if it finds distribution.

Re: Adult World
I forgot to post my thoughts on this. I watched it on demand a few months ago and it is nearly terrible. Emma Roberts plays one of the most annoying characters ever put onto film. It's also incredibly boring. As cool as it was to see places I go to on a daily basis on my television, I wouldn't ever watch this again. D
