This movie's swings towards drama and comedy were both deeply unimpressive. The monologue about Buenos Aires that introduces us to Arturo is completely out of place and sounds like an assignment written by an eight grader for the geography class. The actor's performances were pretty solid, but the characters are just cliches whose deeper motives are completely unknown. Excepting a 2 minute vague monologue from Renzo, you don't get the chance to find out why the characters are the way they are. I'm not even sure if that monologue was an anti-capitalist statement (which would have been cool if it was consistent) or just one more try to make Renzo look like The Edgy Outcast. I feel like if the writers could just make Renzo say "I'M SO COOL AND SMART AND AN ABSOLUTE MADMAN" they would have done it, but they had to find the most similar substitute.
