Wick's Review

Created Aug 27, 2015 08:35PM PST • Edited Aug 29, 2015 10:33AM PST

  1. Quality
  2. OK 2.5

    Zero Motivation is a loafer’s view of army life, as embodied by the worst unit in the Israeli Army. Some girls just aren’t army-material, but that hardly matters in a country with universal service requirements.

    Instead of F-Troop, think G-Troop – IDF Style.

    To be fair, I’m the opposite demographic for a female-produced and focused dramedy about a bunch of coed teens and twenty-somethings. (The movie is a lot less salacious than that sentence makes it sound.)

    They’re mostly mean girls, spoiled too, the kind often seen in movies, comedies especially. Self-centered and secular, they’re not fun to be around, perhaps unless you’re another disaffected girl.

    That said, I can see how Zero Motivation might be big in Tel Aviv. In Silicon Valley, not so much.
    -———————————-

    Disclosure: I stopped watching about an hour in, leaving open the possibility that Zero Motivation turned into Hail the Conquering Hero in the last reel and a half, but I doubt it.

  3. Very Good 3.5
  4. Male Stars Very Good 3.5
  5. Female Stars Very Good 3.5
  6. Female Costars Very Good 3.5
  7. Male Costars Very Good 3.5
  8. Barely OK 2.0
  9. Direction Barely OK 2.0
  10. Play Barely OK 2.0
  11. Music Barely OK 2.0
  12. Visuals Barely OK 2.0
  13. Content
  14. Risqué 2.1

    Beware a jarringly sad and violent episode in this otherwise jocular comedy.

  15. Sex Titillating 1.8
  16. Violence Brutal 2.6
  17. Rudeness Salty 2.0
  18. Glib 1.3
  19. Circumstantial Glib 1.9
  20. Biological Natural 1.0
  21. Physical Natural 1.0

Regarding Wick’s Review
Sounds like Mean Girls meets In the Army Now with a Full Metal Jacket scene thrown in to kill the buzz.
