Bindlestiffs

2012 · 80 min

A crude, chaotic romp that feels like a homemade teen adventure spiraling into uncomfortable, darkly funny territory.

Directed by
Andrew Edison
Genres
Comedy, Action, Adventure
Overview
Three high school virgins, suspended from school on a bogus graffiti charge, flee to the inner city in an attempt to live out the plot of The Catcher in the Rye - a book they neither have read nor understand. BINDLESTIFFS documents their struggles along the way as they surrender their virginities to vagrants, prostitutes, and crack fiends. Hot on their tail is Charlie, the deranged school security guard. Under the impression that the boys are planning a school shooting, he takes the law into his own hands to stop them and save America.
How it feels
Absurd, satirical, dark and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Coming-of-age, identity, friendship, sexuality
Content
Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
