Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From the opening blast of Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star", you know this drippy 1980s comedy romance is going to be a dud.
It apes the likes of Weird Science and Pretty in Pink and fails to replicate the wit or charm of either of them. Topher Grace's "hero", Matt, doesn't help. We're supposed to cheer for his supposedly nerdy video-store clerk and his pursuit of his high-school crush, Tori (Teresa Palmer), but he resembles Justin Timberlake too much to come across as anything other than a savvy 23-year-old. It's like a less crude, less funny American Pie with slightly frizzier hair. As Buggles (almost) sang, this picture came, and it won't break your heart.
