- Overall: Positive
15-year-old Freddie (Joey King) ran away from home a long time ago, seemingly to find herself. What she ends up with is with a bunch of outcasts who manufacture and use drugs. All the while skirting about the LA area’s gang culture. However, they end up too close for comfort as a recently imprisoned guy, Lobo (Octavio Pizano), is trying to get mone...
Joey King
Since Ramona and Beezus, I’ve tried to keep up with Joey King’s career and I truly think she is one of the few actresses who deserves a pass for taking the “Learning on the job” route. For while some of her films, like Borealis, I couldn’t get into, you can see growth. Take, for instance, the main critique of her in Borealis is that she is very reliant on her co-stars. However, in Smartass, arguably she is able to be compelling on her own, no matter who she is paired with. Perhaps showing tha...
Honest Race Relations
Racism plays a huge role in Smartassand weirdly, it comes off very authentic. Be it how people of color act and talk to Freddie, this seemingly privileged white girl with a taste for danger, or how people of color act around each other. Now, I won’t pretend someone may not find the interactions offensive, but in that, you get the authenticity. Even when there are really odd moments, like when Beef (Fatso-Fasano) and Antwan (Allen Maldonado) were talking about raping Freddie until, like Helen...
How Ridiculous The Story and Characters Are
The characters of the film, and the journey they go on, is beyond ridiculous. Freddie meets multiple perverts, one who saves her from Beef and Antwan, gives her money, and jerks off while she sleeps, another who sells her, and the eccentrics she meets is just a long and winding list. The same goes for Nick’s associates. Be it Donny (Luke Pasqualino), who is a bit of a tweaker, ChuuChuu (Nicole LaLiberte), Lobo’s racist girlfriend, and the others who either come off compelling, like Rod (Marc...
So, Why Did Freddie Runaway Again? Much less, How Is She Surviving Out In These Streets?
Bringing up Herman again, he is the one who brings up the elephant in the room: Why did Freddie runaway? She doesn’t get beaten or abused, her mom (Maria McCann) makes things seem stable, and she seems to love her two younger brothers. Also, she is 15. So what is the issue here? Is it like with Z and the suburbs were too stable for her? It didn’t inspire her artistic talents, Freddie is a talented artist, so she decided to go to where people were more “real?” Unfortunately, Freddie skirts aro...
The Story Isn’t For Everyone
As noted, through the good movies and bad movies, I’m a fan of Joey King. So while I may not be the type to stan and not note when she, or the film, is terrible, I must admit bias when it is possible. Hence why I must note this story may not be for everyone. While I find it comical, even when it is low-key offensive, some may find the jokes fell flat, the stoner/drug culture of the film is beyond comprehension, and that it relies too much on stereotypes. Much less, the idea of this white girl...
Smartassshows that Joey King has found her element and what type of characters she can thrive on. And with finding that, you really get to see and understand why this 18-year-old girl has been working consistently for over a decade. Alongside that, we are presented with a weird enough to seem unique, but not so weird it seems pretentious, kind of m...
90 minutes. Country. United States. Language. English. Smartass is a 2017 American crime drama film directed by Jena Serbu [1] and starring Joey King. [2] It was released on September 12, 2017. [citation needed]
Sep 12, 2017 · The smart girl we see in the say, first half, of the movie becomes boorish and tedium sets in with her grabbing the spotlight with just her act being that of a child out of her depth, the rest of the cast fits this mode also following along with the energy dropping off right behind her behavior.
