The Failures (2003) Reviews
Fails to enlighten - but entertains nonetheless
Most of The Failures is typical teenage angst. I found myself laughing but unimpressed by the characters. But when Lilly takes an active interest in William's suicide, I perked up. Though the plot that ensues is predictable and trite, this sudden interest of hers is surprising and almost adorable. The last half hour is worth the rental fee. I wish I could expound upon it further, but that would give away the end. But it points the camera at us and forces the audience to examine what we live for. It's worth a watch if you have access to it but it's not likely to become a classic for me.
Humorous & Touching
Initially, I wasn't sure I'd like the film based on the plot/subject... It sounded mean-spirited. But it actually was humorous and touching. I thought the film did I good job balancing the amount of light sarcastic humor with darker suicidal talk. It wasn't too heavy, nor too light. It could have been deeper, but the fact it wasn't, isn't a complaint ... The film works well as it is. Another movie at the theaters now (2004) that also revolves around suicide is Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself. Both contain drama & humor. However, while I would consider Wilbur to on the drama side (deep), I'd consider Failures more on the humor side (light). I also enjoyed most of the various characters in the movie. And I was especially impressed with J. Johnson. It's well-acted, well-written, and worth seeing.
