Featured review
I found this to be a second-rate rehash of Rushmore. Second-rate movies being almost as good as first-rate, that means this is a pretty good film. Just not as good as Rushmore.
I am not sure why they require a minimum of 10 lines in each comment, but the above three lines encapsulate all I have to say about Igby Goes Down, and the rest of this is just filler. I apologise, but then again I didn't make up the 10 line rule. I'm not sure if the blank lines between paragraphs count (probably not), but at this point I'm only up to 9 lines. Just a few more words of blather and I'll be good to go. Is this far enough? We'll see...
