Too much of everything

Pretty Good

Instant Favorite.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

First-look at the dates on the previous reviews, all in July 2013. That should be your first clue. Unfortunately the production value of this film is very low. For example the camera is too close in close ups, cutting off the actors' heads. Constantly. It is almost like it was shot using an iPhone. The apparent age discrepancy between the make/female actors makes this story feel "off". Besides that the movie is just boring. You can't follow who is who because they just sit around drinking talking about relationships, no one stands out. Because there isn't any character development you aren't invested. Which is a shame because I have such high hopes for films like these and really root for indies, but skip this one.

I attended the Premiere of Maladjusted and it was a blast. I'm so glad I didn't miss this one.Party, party, party. This is a film for the party set and the party set wannabes. Maladjusted is super fun, low budget, Summer time film. A bit on the raunchy side, this film includes drugs, alcohol and profanity. Some scenes may make you wince at bit. Therefore, Maladjusted is not a film for children or prudent adults. Having said that, in my opinion, Maladjusted will have great appeal to the college aged viewer. If you are a party animal, a party animal wannabe, and/or enjoy films like "Hang Over", this is definitely the movie for you to see. Very nice, upbeat soundtrack too. Be sure to notice the Jon Bailey Band.I loved seeing all the unknown talent get nice, large roles. I would like to have seen a larger role of Lester worked into the script and his character developed more. What a great character. His character would have a great addition to the script but his appearance was all too brief. I rated this film a nine because it thought the story line got a little long towards the end of the move. That's not to say it was slow, as there was plenty of action. It just seemed that the ending could have wrapped up a little faster.In all, I thought this was a terrific independent movie. Kudos for a job well done. I hope this movies gets good distribution.

I saw The Maladjusted at its premiere in Bethesda. While it was a departure from the zombie gore-fest I've come to love from the production team, it kept the appropriate level of camp to make this a very enjoyable summer/adult comedy. The acting was very good and the production was excellent. Carl (Clayton Myers) was an excellent compilation of every guy you've known that sucks with women. He really nailed the part. And Yon Zamolla (John C. Bailey) created a lot of laughs. I can't wait to see it again! CHUG IN YOUR FACE!Chris Kiros is a very talented writer and director. I look forward to seeing more films from this bright "young" talent.

I produced this movie, I also was the cinematographer and editor and I had a cameo as Lester. I am incredibly proud to say that I worked on this film. I was asked by my friend, the director and co-writer, Chris Kiros to come on board and help produce. I read and loved the script and agreed. That was back in January of 2011. Due to budget constraints as we drew closer to the beginning of filming we made the decision that I would film the movie with my Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera and due to my controlling nature when filming is involved I ended up editing it as well. Much of the time I'd throw a whole scene together the same night we'd just done a 15 hour day. I have spent many sleepless days, weeks, months working on this movie for the past 2 years and I never ran out of energy because I love this movie so much. I have watched it at least 150 times from start to finish and I have never become tired of one single second of it. That is in large part due to the great talent of the actors who worked their butts off bringing these characters to life. We spent nearly 6 months casting the movie and we can't imagine anyone taking the place of any of our actors. It is also due to the great writing by Chris Kiros and Elias Dancey. I also really love the soundtrack, we spent the better part of a year finding all the right songs. There are 43 pieces of original music in this film and every song is great. I strongly encourage you to become fans of all of the bands!Did I mention that we made this movie for under $50,000? That's the catering budget for a week on some Hollywood films. It was hard, a lot of people worked their butts off for next to nothing. More than I could possibly have time or room to name. We had a lot of support. Paul Busseti flew out from Kansas, where he had recently moved, and spent a month away from his wonderful wife to help us make this movie. Tiffany Shepis came from Arizona stepping off of her Horror Scream Queen throne to do our comedy (and she knocked it out of the park). A lot of our actors were from NYC. A friend of mine, Bill Lager, packed into his RV, took off 2 weeks of his great job and fed us like royalty. My girlfriend put up with 20 people sleeping in every spot available in my house, she delivered food hours away, she was an extra in more than one scene, she even let me write the credits all over a naked girl in our house. That's love and support. This movie is an accomplishment for all involved and would have never turned out so well without everyone who worked on it. I hope that we get into many of the film festivals that we are now submitting to because I want as many people as possible to see what we've all worked so hard on for these past 2 years and I want everyone to get the recognition they deserve. This is what I live for, what I love. I don't care about being rich and famous, I just want to do this every day for the rest of my life. If they all can be as fun as this shoot was and as fulfilling as this end product is, well, then I will die a very very happy man. I hope you get the chance to watch this movie and enjoy it.
