Storyline

Boys behaving badly. Jay, a middle-class high-school sophomore, hangs out in his L.A. suburb with slackers, dopers, petty thieves and punks. Everyone has a nickname; his is Worm. His best friend, John, aka Mt. Rushmore, severely beats another student at a wedding Jay and his pals crash. At the wedding, Jay falls for Wendy, one of the jock clique. Jay has his code: no ratting out your friends. So, when the beating victim dies, Jay doesn't help the cops. Meanwhile, his relationship with Wendy develops quickly into a first love. With knives, whiskey, and drugs close at hand, can Jay navigate assaults on his manhood, the strains of friendship, and the whispers of commitment?—



Short Review

Well, this would be my first rotten tomatoes review, and is, as of now, the only review for this movie, I won't mind if you, my dear reader, completely disregards this. The Good Humor Man is a slower paced movie about living the high time sophomore life in the nineteen seventies. The movie centers around Jay and his band of buddies, including Smelly Bob and the brick wall of a kid known as Mount Rushmore. What I can say about this movie is that it is for sure, really just about life. It doesn't catapult you in with any action scenes and it doesn't have any kind of emotional spin, save that of drab everyday live, with a few violent twists thrown in. So, check it out, order a couple pizzas, call some buddies, maybe throw a stoner in the mix, and enjoy a mellow saturday night. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
