Still fascinated this turned into a sleeper hit. But, yeah, kinda bad.

I actually got into a big argument about this with a friend the other night. I thought the two Hmong kids were really wooden and awful, but my friend swore that was "the point", that they were awkward kids. I don't buy it, I just didn't ever feel a genuine emotion out of either of them. The song at the end of the movie was hilarious though.
But on the whole I thought the movie was just okay. Some really awkward scenes, but I thought there were a couple that worked well. Not at all worth the hype, but not as terrible as its ILX reputation might suggest.

Amateur =/= bad.
But the boy in particular was as bad as anything I've seen in a major motion picture.

The scene where he was locked in the basement, banging on the door, was particularly painful.
