Saw Better Luck Tomorrow last night. It’s not a perfect movie, but it really is well worth seeing for so many reasons (if I were a film critic, I’d probably label it as ‘significant’), and I’d definitely recommend it. Hmm, I wonder how the ending was changed…
“Better Luck Tomorrow” did get a face lift after Sundance, thanks to
MTV money that allowed Mr. Lin to tighten the editing, insert some
new scenes and tone down an ending that some viewers found too
cynical. “Just things that Justin said he would have done the first
time if he’d had the money,” Mr. Gale said.
Apparently there’s been a lot of grass-roots promotion going on for the movie, which at last in Los Angeles, seems to be working out. All the showings were sold out when we tried to catch it on Friday, and even last night the movie played to a full house.
