Sorry to burst your little bubble but if the only reason behind the movie is to show angst, then it will most likely suck. Better Luck Tomorrow had more than one theme, the rest of which you have brazenly chosen to ignore. To show teen angst (or any angst) in a movie is fine, but when that's all the movie is, it becomes a depressing, drawn out bore oif a movie. And not depressing becuase the "angst" is so accurately portrayed and forces the viewer to empathize with the characters, but depressing becuase you've just wasted ninety to a hundred and twenty minutes on a movie that should never have been made in the first place. I'll end my tirade with the words of a great man: Angst does not a story make.
