blumdeluxe "The Maladjusted" is what I would call "American Pie" in grown up. It tells the story of three friends, who more or less desperately try to be successful with the opposite sex and strand in a beach house with three very different young women.Most of the time, the film manages to keep some plausibility and thereby separates itself from comparable titles, that often tend to slide into absurdity to cover weaknesses in the plot or fill time. There are, in fact, some scenes that are a bit over the top, but the amount is small enough not to affect the experience in a negative way.Even though the plot seems tritely, I felt well entertained and the more sinister approach still leaves some space for mindsets that most young adults can probably relate to in one way ore another.This movie won't change your life or teach you lessons, but it can make you smile and still does so with some seriousness, beauty and truth.

Brian Smith Great indie summer comedy and a cautionary tale to those who would look for love online. Really had some genuine belly laugh moments. Some indie films, even if they have a great idea, are plagued by stilted dialog due to directors (and actors) with tin ears. Not the case here. Genuinely funny and natural interactions between the actors. Strangely...much of the film reminded me of my circle of idiot friends from high school. That was kind of a bummer. Bunch of douches. Despite that,loved it. Plan to catch it again. And again. And again. And again. Big things ahead for this director.10 lines? Really???

mikezmaguire I was lucky enough to work very briefly on this film. At the time, I got the impression that it would end up being a decent little indie with some good laughs, but I also assumed -- wrongly -- that it would be on the stereotypical side and suffer from the same production problems often seen in lower-budget films.But what a great surprise the finished product was. I found it much funnier than the average big-budget comedy. The main characters are very likable, the acting is solid throughout, and the story moves at a great pace. What I was most impressed with was how consistent the quality was: There aren't the usual weak points or cringe-inducing clichés that you usually get in movies of any budget. I can't wait to see where The Maladjusted goes!

scocub1230 I was fortunate enough to see the premiere of The Maladjusted recently, a proper summer time comedy. I should probably qualify "proper" to mean, all the stuff you want to see in a raunchy comedy. This is a great summer time movie for adults. Leave the kids at home for this one, but as we all know, the best comedies are for the older audiences. There are some genuinely funny performances and quotable lines of dialogue. A personal favorite was the brief discussion about a good massage vs. a bad massage. I do wish the three main characters would have been a little less two dimensional. I felt like the character of Nikki was the most developed but her appearances only bookend the movie. However, let's be real, do you go see this kind of comedy for deep character development? Probably not. This minor complaint did not diminish my enjoyment of the movie at all. The Maladjusted is definitely worth seeing again.
