But that's all about to change, with a fresh new film boasting exciting young talent. Or at least, that's what the maker's of Body Shots would have you believe. It claims, in kinship to movies such as The Breakfast Club that "There are movies that define every decade." Unfortunately, for all it's cheap philosophy, pop psychology and sheer derivativeness from other films...
