How to Talk to Girls at Parties


2018 sci-fi rom-com

Rating: 11/20

Plot: A punk kid meets an interesting girl at a party, but she turns out to be an alien.

I'm not really a fan of John Cameron Mitchell's other punk movie--Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but I thought maybe being based on a Neil Gaiman story would give make this worth seeing. It really wasn't worth watching although I might not be the right audience for it. There are some interesting visuals as Mitchell tries to create some weirdness with this cultish alien crew, but it never maintains its weirdness in a way that makes it consistently interesting.

I did like one line a lot: "Punk music is really the greatest thing to happen to ugly people."
