July 27, 2014'Hick' was a decent coming of age movie. Starring Chloë Grace Moretz as a lonely kid who decides to run away from her trailer park home and her awful parents to try to make a better life for herself in the big city. Immediately things get hairy when she starts hitch-hiking and gets picked up by a seemingly nice guy. Once she ditches him she meets a nice woman who takes her under her wing and introduces her to drugs and gets her into all kinds of precarious situations, including re-introducing her to the creepy guy who first offered her a ride. The movie spirals slowly out of control but never goes all the way and never seems as dark as it probably would if it was real life. I'd say it is worth watching for a lazy afternoon when you've got nothing else going on.
