Eric S @LateCheckout 10/21/2023 Fort Tilden is a copycat imitation of creative ideas from Lena Dunham's Girls. Dunham's Girls used a very specific type of character that Fort Tilden imitates (young, privileged, hip but self-centered New Yorkers). If a stereotype was used in Girls, it gets reused in Fort Tilden. Girls used nudity but not as the scene's focus, Fort Tilden copies that. Girls used the characters selfishness as a comedy device, Fort Tilden copies that. Girls characters hit bottom in a way you'd feel sorry for them, Fort Tilden copies that. One big difference: Dunham's Girls characters were at times borderline unlikeable, but the Fort Tilden lead characters are decisively unlikeable. See more 07/25/2021 Don't waste your time. See more 07/14/2021 This is the worst film I have ever, and will ever, see. The main characters are insufferable and don't act in a way anybody with an eight of a brain would (letting their bikes get stolen, leaving kittens in a trash can, etc.) 90% of the plot could be skipped if the protagonists weren't such idiot assholes, and I don't think that's very good. I don't get any entertainment from watching two douchebags bicker with each other and everyone they meet for an hour and a half. If, for whatever reason, you feel like you'd enjoy this, Jerry Springer and Maury Povich have got you covered. For a comedy, it's incredibly unfunny. I'd be more amused watching an ISIS beheading video while learning that everyone close to me is dead. There isn't a single situation in the film that could be considered even remotely humorous. I understand that the movie's supposed to be some kind of satire on modern Millennials/Gen X'ers, but that doesn't excuse how awful it is. The cinematography is nice, but that doesn't make up for the rest of the film. You wouldn't enjoy being beaten to an inch of your life just because your attacker was dressed nice, now would you? I only passively watched this film, and I still feel like I've lost 90 minutes I will never get back. I created this account specifically to make this review, such is my hatred for this movie. I would not recommend watching Fort Tilden, and I wouldn't wish the viewing experience on my worst enemy. See more kris i @Krisd 02/27/2021 based on bert's review of my review. See more Stewart E @RT10198841 02/15/2021 The most surprising part of the movie was when the girls took their tops off and it turned out that the one who was supposed to be "less attractive" had the beat tits by far. (although neither wee attracted, except for the attractiveness of youth in general) It's about 2 terrible, self centered people who don't learn from their experiences. Like the characters in "Girls" This is not a story of redemption for sure. This movie is not for everyone but I don't regret having seen it. See more 02/11/2018 2 Self-absorbed shallow Williamsburg millennial chicks try to get to the beach at Fort Tilden to meet some dudes and suffer a series of misadventures mostly of their own narcissistic making. The millennials are horrible people, but they're still somehow watchable and amusing. And that is the satire; if you can stomach it, you might just like it. Were we that awful in our twenties? Maybe. Fort Tilden could be re-titled, BOY DO MILLENNIALS SUCK, and I'm not sure the creators would have a problem with that. It is, after all, the point. ;) B-. See more Read all reviews
