atomicis Review of The Late Bloomer

The Late Bloomer (2016)

Bobby Flay's appearance was the highlight... and I hate Bobby Flay!

Okay, I really kinda like Bobby Flay, but I bet he didn't read the script for this "film" before agreeing to be in it! At one point (several points, really) I actually caught myself shaking my head at the plot line; I can't determine if this movie was written by boys who were in the throes of puberty (in which case it should've been FUNNIER, and faster-moving as well) or just adults who have seriously deficient senses of humor. For some reference, I thought Hot Tub Time Machine was a masterpiece, and Clerks was brilliant. So I can completely "get" the young-adult humor/angst genre. How dreck like this gets financed and produced is beyond me. Just not entertaining, and sloooow to boot!
