Teeth

2008 / Mitchell Lichtenstein > While the idea behind Teeth is a boy's worst nightmare, the failed opportunity at making something bigger, more interesting and/or important out of the story is arguably much worse. Jess Weixler puts in a nice enough performance on a script that is light on ideas, heavy on redundancy. It doesn't stick as either a horror film or a character study, but may do its job as a quaint little public service announcement for abstinence.
