Anticlimactic

Considering Jess Eisenberg's excellent intrusion technique on "Social Networks", I gave it an extra star. The beginning of the film was okay, with a lot of highlights. The imagination of Woody Harrison's "little boy" (I thought it was a puppy, and then I knew it was my son) made me laugh and feel sad. Afterwards, it fell into the cliché of a harmonious finale again, maybe the two girls should just drive away.

Columbus: [Columbus and Wichita are drinking wine] 1997. Was that a good year?
Wichita: Yeah! 1997 was a great year! I saw my first R-rated movie... Anaconda. Got my first tattoo, a porpoise. Fake. Had my first kiss... Scotty Lynch.
Columbus: Did you guys...
[gestures with fingers]
Columbus: ...use tongue?
Wichita: [laughs] Maybe. Why, are you jealous of Scotty Lynch?
Columbus: Yes. Actually, I think I'm jealous of your whole 1997. Let me see... I think... 1997 I had my first orthodontist appointment... bastard gave me headgear... I got my first B...
[Wichita laughs]
Columbus: ...almost as scary as Anaconda... went to my first dance. Sadie Hawkins, so it was ladies' choice...
[pauses]
Wichita: And nobody picked you?
Columbus: Well, it was ladies' choice.
Wichita: [pauses in disbelief] ... No! Those bitches! No, I will not stand for this.
[stands, offers Columbus her hand]
Wichita: On behalf of all the eighth grade girls, I would like to dance with you.
[Columbus looks at her, takes another swig of wine]
Wichita: Don't worry. Scotty's old news.
