B sides are better

 

Shoplifters of the World (2021)


Written & directed by Stephen Kijak this film stars Helena Howard, Ellar Coltrane and Joe Manganiello. A bunch of friends in Denver spend a night partying trying to get over the break up of The Smiths and the impending break up of their friendship group.


I found the sub plot with Joe Manganiello to be the only interesting part of this film, the main plot has little going for it in terms of originality or spark. The whole script is a little on the masturbatory side and offers not much depth on why these teens like The Smiths. Maybe if you are a huge fan of The Smiths this is worth a watch but otherwise I would give it a miss.


2/5
