Sadly, Gondry, in the name of democracy, or liberalism, or perhaps his own sociological predilections, ceded entirely too much thematic control to these blinkered, immature kids, so the result, finally, is a film that celebrates bullying, aggression, misogyny, and general teenage assholery... As a final product, The We and the I is a depressing look at mean, unpleasant kids who, due to their underprivileged status, have been "given voice." They didn't do much with it.
