Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3693973, member: 7894"] "Little Birds" (2011; apparently there's a 2020 miniseries w/ the same title coming out, w/ the same lead actress, but totally unrelated?) was a tough watch. I really like Juno Temple, I've seen her in a bunch of flicks. Her movies aren't always particularly good, but she always gives a good performance. Some of her characters aren't very sympathetic or likeable. Definitely the case here. She plays a wild teenager desperate to get away from her mom and the trailer park she lives in on the Salton Sea. She convinces her best friend (Kay Panabaker) to steal a truck and head off to LA with her to chase after a boy she met briefly. Much of the movie is a slow motion train wreck as the teens make dumber and dumber decisions and keep getting themselves deeper into trouble. Panabaker tries to be the voice of reason, but nobody listens to her, they only make fun of her. I'd only recommend it if you are a fan of Temple. Some other notable actors in small roles--Leslie Mann, Kate Bosworth, Neal McDonough. [/QUOTE]
