Looking for signs of the coming of the apocalypse? Chuck this onto your list: They are making a fictional movie of MTV’s My Super Sweet 16. Behold the trailer below. The film is going straight to DVD. And, predictably, it looks terrible. The idea seems to be to use the themes of the show (spoiled girls, outrageous parties) as the building blocks of a generic teen girl flick. Admittedly, I haven’t seen an episode of My Super Sweet 16 for a while now because watching it just makes me too angry. (I don’t yell at the TV when watching sports; I yell at the TV when watching a 16-year-old bitch out her parents for not getting her the correct Mercedes she “deserves.”) That being said, I’ve seen my fair share of episodes over the years, and this film seems to lack the sheer ridiculousness of the parties and the sheer inhumanity of the 16-year-old she-goblins that made the show such a phenonemon. I mean, if you’re going to do it, do it right. My favorite moment from a My Super Sweet 16 is when one girl hired Emmanuel Lewis to hand deliver her party invitations. It was horrible and embarrassing in so many ways. Come on, they couldn’t have at least included a scene like that in the film? You know Webster was available. (Feel free to use the comment section to list your own favorite Super Sweet 16 moment that you’d liked to see in the film.) Sadly, the chances of the film reflecting the real absurdity of the show seems pretty small. I get the feeling their budget was smaller than the cost of some of the real parties.
