(Average) Flavors of Youth: International Version

Movie in one sentences: 
Not one, but three boring life stories.

Movie in more sentences: 
Follow three different life stories. I don't know what else to say.


I don't understand why this exists. The last chapter was decent and fairly touching, but the first was an absolute bore and the second one not exciting, either.
I think there's some kind of life lesson to be found in them, but it's not brought forward in an entertaining way.

The first story is more or less some guy's rant about how much he likes noodles. Alright.

The second story is about a famous model who worries her career is over when she's getting replaced by a younger face. Alright. Better.

The third is about a boy who's gone through the trouble of studying for the girl he liked, but this girl failed her tests on purpose, resulting in the two not going to university together after all. Because the boy has been mercilessly distant with her for years, the ending is bittersweet. This is the best story of the bunch.

Still, is it worth checking out? No.
