Hick

Chloe Moretz’s other movie today — besides “Dark Shadows” — is a smarmy little road movie about a Southern teenage girl losing her innocence the hard way during the Reagan era.

Derick Martini’s follow-up to “Lymelife” isn’t quite as abysmal or offensive as the notorious and thematically similar “Hounddog,” better known as “The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie.”

But it isn’t exactly subtle or convincing, either, as runaway Moretz sets out to find an alternative to her perpetually soused and trashy mom (Juliette Lewis). Donning a pair of short-shorts and a halter top, she goes hitchhiking with a 13th birthday gift, a Smith & Wesson.

Among other misadventures, the little Lolita snorts coke with a petty criminal (Blake Lively) and hooks up with cowboy (Eddie Redmayne) whose manners belie his psychopathic nature.

Even an appearance by Alec Baldwin as Moretz’s eventual — if highly unlikely — savior isn’t enough to keep “Hick” from leaving a bad taste.
