Even if it is a small party, the main purpose of the party is to celebrate the person's earliest stage of adulthood. Sweet sixteens can range from modest parties at home with close family to large parties with a hired DJ, makeup, hair styling, expensive gowns and dresses, and hotel ballrooms. While traditionally it is common that sweet sixteens are mostly celebrated by girls, they can also be celebrated by boys. This event can be formal, casual, or semi-formal. While some families throw large, lavish celebrations, others choose to celebrate the birthday as if it were a normal occurrence. As the name suggests, the celebration takes place on a teenager's sixteenth birthday. So there.A sweet sixteen is a coming of age party celebrating a teenager's 16th birthday, mainly celebrated in some parts of the United States and Canada. When I said "it's close to that," I meant in terms of greatness, & not plot-wise. There's not much resemblance between the two. I mentioned 'American History X' because the movie reminded me of it while watching it. Surely recommended.ĮDIT: Just because someone asked, I felt I should clarify it once & for all.
The movie wouldn't have been so effective otherwise. The actors were all new faces to me, but everyone performed well. I'd not give away what exactly it is, just in case (yep, of late, I've decided not to give out big spoilers as far as possible). well, you already know what kind of ending you're supposed to expect with this type of movies. And pieces start falling in their place for him. He resorts to crime to make his dreams come true. It takes a sneak peek into the life of a boy who wants to lead a sound life with his mom who's currently serving time in jail. That's where the movie scored for me, because generally I don't get that kind of a feeling for such characters (or the characters I can't relate to). It made me care for the protagonist even after knowing that what he's doing is quite unethical. It's not a tearjerker, but the way the relations are portrayed is quite touching. It's relatively realistic & way better than most of the crime dramas I've recently seen. It's not 'American History X', but it's close to that. And having just watched it, I'm glad I did. I know it's predictable, but still.) mentioned that it's a crime related movie, I was inclined to check it out. (Off topic, but Shakespeare didn't know shit when he coined "What's in name?") But when it came as a recommendation from one of the friends here (by mvieaddict, to be specific), & the review (which I fortunately didn't read fully. Now, the title itself is enough to prompt me to click on 'NOT INTERESTED'. Sounds like a chick flick (nothing wrong if you like that genre it's just that I'm not into that kind of movies in general).
