Ashby (2015)
Written & directed
by Tony McNamara this film stars Mickey Rourke, Nat Wolff, Emma
Roberts and Sarah Silverman. After moving to a new area a 17 year old
high school student befriends his dying neighbour and tries to get on
the football team.
Patching together
various familiar film elements this film never manages to be more
than the sum of it's parts and ends up being a very average coming of
age film. There is a lot of acting talent assembled in the main roles
so it's somewhat of a disappointment, especially the marginal role
that Emma Roberts has. Putting aside all the things this film is not
what it does manage to be is a fairly decent distraction for 2 hours
even if it's not more than that.
3/5
