Quirk
Rocket Science is the embodiment of all that has gone wrong with certain indie films lately. They try so hard to be quirky that they simply forget about cohesive story. Rocket Science was lacking in any emotional weight. The main character's affliction was blown so far out of proportion that it was simply unbelievable. The narration was so conceited and self aware with statements like, "It was Thursday. Could've been any day. But it was Thursday." Gee, how deep. The only redeeming quality of the entire film was the performance of Anna Kendrick, who showed so much maturity 4 years ago in the film, Camp. She exudes the same confidence here and literally steals every scene she's in. If only the rest of the cast could've followed suit.
