I cannot feel that much pity for the out-

characters. This is one of the downfalls
of “Downfalls High.”
The most enjoyable part of the musi-
cal was MGK rocking out with his elec-
tric guitar and singing with surprise
guests such as Trippie Redd, Blackbear
and Iann Dior. His unique vocal range
and cynical outlook on life has always
drawn me to his music.
While the film has its flaws, it is im-
pressive, cheesy at points and delivers a
thorough synopsis of the album. MGK’s
traumatic past gives him the inspiration
for his music and it is evident that his
emotional performances are a way to
let go of those experiences.
After watching, I grew to love MGK’s
music even more because of the char-
acters, storyline and visuals combined
that gave “Tickets To My Downfall” a
meaningful and memorable purpose.
As merely the first visual piece Ma-
chine Gun Kelly has directed, we can
only hope to see more projects like
“Downfalls High” in the future.

If you’re yearning for a cheesy roman-

February, then “10 Things I Hate About
You” is the perfect movie to watch.
It follows the classic bad boy and nerdy
girl plot, but has enough of its own person-

in question, has quick comebacks and in-
