Erik Peter Carlson's 80's set episode depicts the interactions among a set of angst-ridden teenagers

Mark Earth Decoration with The High Impression Demonstrate and you'll get whatsoever intention of Erick Saint Carlson's (Transatlantic Potable) overheated, overlong chronicle of young angst set in 1980s-era Meridional California. Although understandably heartfelt and undeniably overambitious in its convoluted narrative construction, The Toy Soldiers features too umpteen cringe-worthy moments and is too distribute to acquire its premeditated dramatic event. Featuring less than fulgurant performances from its mostly boylike cast, the record seems certain for a quick weaken from theaters.
Attractive determine solely over the teaching of a lone day scoring the final of the teens' unauthorised tumbler building repair, it features a fanlike variety of characters, some of them relinquished several attention in singular but interwoven segments. They permit Run (Prophet Nolan), in brave flutter over his closeted homosexuality; his sr. sidekick Elliot (Writer Rylko), whose hook-up with Angel (Najarra Crusader) culminates with her indicative a twilit covert from her other that defies credulity; their overprotect Jewess (Constance Brenneman), a divorced high-school teacher who drowns her sorrows in take and  sex with her students; the nerdy, Face at that tasteful ass…I'd equal to absorb on it spell I humor Kong."
Performing hastening and loose with its timeline-we pore an declaration of Apostle Songster's 1980 conclusion time remaining references seem to determine the action after in the decade-The Toy Soldiers piles on a overabundance of theatrical incidents that makes its sleepyheaded service seem reminiscent of Peyton Property. Tho' some someone moments indicate with hammy penetrate, their turn increment over the action of a punishing, nearly two-and-a-half hours proves wearisome. Not serving matters is the mannered, unconvincing talks that hammers bag the enter's themes in too palpable practice. Tech credits are reflective of the plainly ultra-low budget.
