One of the first signs that I look for to assess whether a film may have some potential or not, is to see if the writer and the director are one and the same person, or if the writer and director are two separate people. Nine out of ten times when the writer and director are one and the same person the film tends to be a flop. The Weekend is such a film. Michael Todd Kuskin deserves some credit for his attempt at writing and directing this film since the actors he put on the screen were pretty good. I just did not enjoy the story line which consists of a bunch of teenage kids who are coming of age and trying to party like there will be no tomorrow and then circumstances present themselves to these hormone raged teenagers that one by one they fall victim to a prank and/or a nearby parent.
Yes, the story is a common one and sometimes such as with the American Pie trilogy the story works and appeals to a vast audience base. The Weekend though, is just a valiant attempt by writer/director Michael Todd Kuskin to try and copy some of the success of earlier films but unfortunately falls short, and I just didn't relate to any one of the characters, or their personal story as being very interesting.
The musical score is another example of how the film tries to maintain an upbeat and hip story, but even the music is not catchy enough to keep an audience remembering The Weekend and wanting for a sequel. Thus in the past 7 years we have yet to see a sequel or a second production by writer/director Michael Todd Kuskin.
I gave The Weekend a 4 out of 10 and I suggest that you will also be disappointed (as I was) if you choose to watch the film.
