Yet again, there was another uneventful weekend at the box office. Thankfully, I am part of a small film critics forum that helped me find a film. To be honest, I had never heard of the Mortified movement. Several people get on a stage and read entries from their childhood journals. It's embarrassing for the people on stage, but heartwarming because the audience can relate to the tough times of being a teen. You should expect to smile, and to feel for each individual character. After watching the documentary, you will want to go out and read all of your old journals. In the preview, one of the directors basically tells us, that no matter who you were growing up, we all went through the similar struggles. This movie is streaming on NETFLIX. It's better than anything that hit theaters this weekend.
The documentary covers parts of several different stories. I noticed on Netflix, there is the ability to watch a separate documentary that is mostly just stories. The documentary intrigued me, because I was thinking, "Why would someone want to get on stage and humiliate themselves like that?" This is covered in the feature, so I won't spoil it for you. If you have Netflix, give it a watch. It's also available to rent on iTunes.
