Review of 'The film club' on 'Goodreads'

Meh. Another slightly befuddled hipster dad memoir, with the hook of the Dad making hid teenage dropout son watch classic movies with him. I finished it to see how the story came out (kid did not become a serial killer) but I was mostly bored by the classic! movie! moments! talk. I tend to be bored by movie freaks writing about their favorite subject though so maybe it's me.
