On the first day of term the dean of their prestigious business school tells his students: 'You are the elite... the crème de la crème. Soon the rules of a market economy will no longer be a mystery to you. Learn work and apply. Kelly Dan and Louis take him at his word. Starting from the theory that relationships between the sexes can be regulated by market principles the three sophomore classmates begin to inflate the popularity of certain students artificially by hiring beautiful off-campus women as their dates for exclusive and riotous college parties. The perfect business model their concept takes off like a rocket surpassing its founders' wildest expectations. Soon they find themselves confronting the problems of rapid growth. And then the system truly takes on its own velocity quickly escaping their control... After all they're barely more than kids... and wasn't it all just a game anyway? Funny troubling and touching a powerful Generation Z coming of age story from director Kim Chapiron (Sheitan Dog Pound).
In 1990, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael showed Winona Ryder as cinema's top teenage role model. Her edge was a delinquency-equals-sympathy angle that held true throughout Beetlejuice, Mermaids, Heathers and Edward Scissorhands. Here as Dinky Bossetti she's chasing the ghosts of a past no one can explain. She's adopted; her town of Clyde, Ohio is mysteriously stuck in the 1950s; but weirder still is everyone's fixation with the imminent return of once-famous homecoming girl Roxy Carmichael. Dinky's school peers conform to the John Hughes 80s look and mindset, but it's the retro adult population that really winds her up. Jeff Daniels ought to be a perfectly conditioned suburbanite, but can't get over having once been married to Roxy. Imparting the secret that they'd had a child and given it away, Dinky's own confusions and obsessions suddenly make sense. The tangle of B-plots are given purpose at the same time she is. Her silent admirer (Thomas Wilson Brown) is able to approach her at last, and her school guidance counsellor becomes the friend she's never had. Ultimately the story's about the notion that no teenager ever feels like they fit in. Of course the real problem facing Ryder, Dinky and any viewer is that all teens grow up. What then? On the DVD: This is a bare-bones package with a simple two-channel stereo and 16:9 anamorphic ratio transfer. That said, it looks and sounds just fine. There's only one trailer, but someone's tried with the diner-style menu at least. --Paul Tonks
