It's a little movie with a big heart. Really well written. Some of the scenes are just so real...like: take you back to that awful time in your life real. All the fronting like you have it all figured out. That checked out. The end is very bittersweet. Overall, really pleasantly surprised.

This film took me right back into my (awkward) high school years in a way that was really sweet and unexpected. The actors are all so good - especially Danielle Kay and Nick Pugliese. I laughed out loud so many times and definitely got a lump in my throat in the last scene. It all just felt so genuine. Definitely not your typical coming-of-age film.

This is a film about a group of painfully dysfunctional, emotionally stunted high school students taking leave of each other. It is so stilted, dull, and embarrassing that I didn't know where to look. Nerdy kids (I was one) don't look or behave like this: these characters are practically religious zealots who pride themselves on never having had physical contact with another person!--certainly not in the 1994 California setting. The pain felt by the one kid coming out in this bizarre theo-dramatic atmosphere was the only thing that had any genuine resonance. Had it been set in 1974 rather than 1994--and somewhere else, it might been a bit more plausible, but as is, it is simply an exhausting, frustrating misfire.
