Alan Smithee is a coming-of-age film about a boy growing up. It investigates the darker side of what growing up sometimes means - turning into your flaws, inevitably being faced with the mistakes of your parents, and the need to make room for the pain. The young boy discovered that his father was cheating on his mother at the same moment that his mother found that boy did things with that girl. In other words, he's becoming liar like his father. However, a teenager has the energy to either follow his father's way or change the course of his destiny.
While Alan is surrounded by what is considered to be the American ideal, all the luxuries that should equate happiness, he determines that sometimes all we are is lost in the woods.
