Rent All I Want (2002)

A quirky coming of age tale. - All I Want review by CP Customer

A quirky coming of age comedy drama about seventeen year old 'Jones Dillon', who drops out of college on his first day, and decides to rent an apartment in an old boarding house. Jones pays a whole year of rent up front and moves in with his only possessions, a trunk and a typewriter that belonged to his unknown father. Jones spends his days fantasising about his life, writing letters he will never send to his absent father, and phoning his flamboyant alcoholic mother. He slowly befriends the various tenants who inhabit the other apartments within the boarding house and starts to discover his own path in life. The plot is pretty weak and somewhat predictable, but overall 'All I Want' is an enjoyable enough fun little film.
