“Turbo Cola” (*1/2 out of four) was an artificial coming-of-age melodrama about a young adolescent (Nicholas Stoesser) about to graduate high-school working a late-night shift at a gas station while all his hedonistic friends (Jordyn Denning, Landon Tavernier, Brooke Maroon, and others) are out at an all night party and he begins to reflect on the crossroads he is at in his life. Set for no particular reason in 1999 but this would have been a stale and trite story even then. Based on Samantha Oy’s praised play “New Years Eve At The Stop-N-Go” but this ought to be out of theatres and on Redbox at “turbo” speed soon.
