I started watching this film with no real expectations at all, I just liked the general plot, and thought let´s see how it goes.
You cannot tell if it´s a teens movie for grownups or viceversa, but I found myself inmersed into the story, and actually caring for the main characters - Shelly, Wes and Greg -, and thinking about persons in real life who have to live with some of the things that these characters have to live with.
So, basically, it turned out not to be what I thought it was about, based on the general plot, but a lot much better, with a good and great message of how important it is to count with good friends in your life.
It´s slow, but it needed to be in order to get you there where it wanted; at least it was my case and it worked very well for me. I didn´t wanted the movie to end.
So, not to spoil anyone, it´s a story told in a simple way, with some cliches here and there, yes, but it gets to the point. Everyone can be better, yes. Surround yourself with good friends - there are only a few of them in life -. And also of the same importance, be you a good friend too.
Really, loved this movie.

Surprisingly good... more than good, actually.
Not great but it's okay to watch
It's not the worst movie out there but it isn't the best either. One of the ways I judge movies is if I can tell the characters are acting; when the acting is so good you forget it's a movie/series until it ends because you're sort of immersed into the world created by the movie. But the actors in here try so hard to act. I don't think it would have been a great movie with this plot but if the actors tried to act more natural and work on the chemistry a little more it would have been better movie.
Don't get me wrong it's watchable,if you're bored with nothing else to do on a Sunday, it's an good way to spend your afternoon, just that it's one of the movies you forget about afterwards. It's just about better than a mediocre film.
