Young People
Young People F***ing is a Toronto filmed comedy featuring mostly Vancouver actors. Yes there are young people and the “F” verb is involved but what is really highlighted is the verbal intercourse surrounding “the act” as engaged in by five couples – actually that’s 4 couples and a threesome of two room mates and one girlfriend. The others are two on a first date, two exes who can’t let go, a married couple and a man and woman about to add benefits to their friendship. This movie was a darling at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival but not such a darling with the Harper Conservatives as it appears to be a perfect target for their controversial Bill C-10 to halt tax breaks to morally unacceptable movies. Better they should worry about not helping to make movies that are a waste of time. I’d like to see more of Cary Pope and a lot of performances were pretty good but for all of the promise in the title the film isn’t that stimulating.
