Movie Recommendation Time: Geography Club.

Geography Club, at first, one would realize, wow that's funnily curious, it's almost an affected, nostalgic, liking reference to The Breakfast Club (1985). They must've done it on purpose because while the posters (below) are two pancakes in a teflon pan, it's an effective eye catcher. The Breakfast Club is arguably the long-standing timeless classic about high school cliques (funny how that transcends to our very own lives); the discovery of self; the boldness, burden, and blithe of being different; and the opaqueness of which that when crossed creates tension that begins the story.

  
Geography Club at first impression was thought to be the same. Russovoir had never been wrong. Granted the synopsis (where was its trailer?) alludes a purging self-to-self conflict prevalent, oppressing, and pressing issue of recent times, just like how each of the kids in The Breakfast Club then had their own fetters, the film has five (5) personalities alright, but it revolves in one theme. 

"Hey, no one's judging you."

Russovoir won't be that guy telling you its theme; he's never had and never will. What he can tell you is Geography Club adapted itself in hopes of idealizing the society on hand; a society, if not for films like this, deteriorating and prejudiced encroaching. This is Disney's Lemonade Mouth (2011) but there isn't a group of musically-inclined troublemakers, lemonade-in-a-canholics forming a band; however, what the film is trying to accomplish is to tone down what was for a long time loud. Especially every last week of June with this pride.
