Bart Got A Room

Hi Guys! It's currently 12:40AM and my mother and I just watched the hilarious and cute and independent film, Bart Got A Room. Please please please read this review.

Title: Bart Got A Room
Director: Brian Hecker
Starring: Steven Kaplan
Genre: Independent, Comedy
Length: 80 min
MPAA Rating: PG-13
IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472050/

Summary: The film chronicles nerdy high school senior Danny Stein and his unsuccessful attempts to secure a prom date while his divorced mother (Cheryl Hines) and father (William H. Macy) are on their own quests to find love.  The film's name comes from the fact that the schools biggest dweeb, Bart Beeber not only secured a date for the prom, but got a hotel room after as well.  This is a source of tremendous anxiety for both Danny and his family.

My Review: This is one of the funniest independent films I have seen since Juno. It was so many wonderful things and such a great feel good movie even though you feel bad for the main character throughout the film.  The movie had many many awkward and sexual jokes but they were just to hilarious to try to not laugh unlike I Love You, Man which is a movie I hope no one ever sees because it is so raunchy and unfunny where as Bart Got A Room doesn't overdo the sex jokes one bit.

Throughout the couse of the film Danny tries to get a date with every girl from his sophmore carpool to anyone his best friend sets him up with.  This is one thing I did not like about the film. Danny tries to get every girl he possibly can when all along his best friend for 8 years has already asked him.  It helped the plot and ultimatley lead to the climax of the film but the main character was just too incredibly foolish.


Overall, this was a great for an independent comedy but not quite Oscar material.  I think most people will enjoy the movie because of its great themes and awkwardly funny and heartwarming comedy.

Final Note: It was a cute movie with raunchy jokes that werent over the top but still fun to watch.  Great because of the happy ending and qwirkiness of this independent comedy.
Do I Reccommend It: Sure, it was a great rainy day movie

Grade: B+
