Review of Summer's Moon

Summer's Moon (2009)
1/10
waste of time?
25 June 2010
After discovering that his mother had hidden her birth to her unknown father, Summer tempered teenager (Ashley Greene, Twilight) goes off to meet the mysterious man. His only clue is a letter battered containing the postmark of a little town called Massey. Once arrived in the rural community Summer meets a charming local handyman Hoxey named Tom (Peter Mooney Falcon Beach TV's). Then she goes to Tom's house, where he lives with his mother Gaia (Barbara Niven), for a night of casual sex. Here the film is supposed to start... What can I say? Absurd, no rhythm, situations that can not even be ridiculous, certainly not scary. Actors unable to be credible, but certainly not their fault, given the inconsistency of the script. But perhaps a bit 'more expressive would help... Dubbing in Italian, if possible, makes things even worse. An hour and a half of boredom and yawning. No suspense, no thrill. We already know who is who and what will happen. The first part is slow, then the second is slower. I wonder who found it interesting just how they did it. Maybe they felt asleep and dreamed another film.
