You are talking about the subject... and I don't care beans about the subject, the movies as art form is about the means, not subject.The film is done professionally, but all along the way you see triviality where subtlety would suffice. Just one example: she brings home the fatso... the fatso in the morning comes out with the line like "Where's the girl? Forgot her name..." The obvious idea of telling us she brought home someone she just met is done way too crudely to qualify for fine art. There are numerous spots like that in the film - it is like the director made it for the American adolescents unable to feel and read subtle cues.
All those character and behavioural traits would be of some interest if they were studied with some depth by a master with vision - and they weren't. Without that the movie has only one leg to stand on - the artistic merit, and that leg is way too weak in my view.
