lollypop2696 I planned on putting this flick on in the background, but was pleasantly surprised when it started.Elijah Bynum, did a fantastic job with this film, I am eager to follow him in the future. Per usual, Timothy Chalamet delivered a great performance and Alex Roe did a great job playing the ultra S E X Y bad boy. I enjoyed the narration on the film, it reminded me of the Sandlot in the way the story progressed along with the narrations. The soundtrack was fantastic, and as an avid Goodfellas fan, I saw many appropriate and exciting parallels with this film. All in all, it's a great watch and one of those movies you feel accomplished after watching. It was absolutely not a waste of time.

mbermonte-94826 Ok... so the story is simple, like some we could see back in the 80's on Beta or VHS, but the adaptation is great. I've seen it a couple of times and the scenes are very well arranged. The way director and filming crew get our attention is great, the changes in frames and camera position and framing is excellent in my opinion. The soundtrack is ... well ... perfect fit (Spongebob, Tiny Tim? lol). Guys, are you sure you haven bee doing drugs too? Don't do drugs OK, Spongebod is bad already... but ok, fits the purpose. As for the actors... the kids are great I see talent there, and I particular like Thomas Jane character and performance (notice you on Expanse). Even though William Fichtner has a small appearance, it gives some serious acting in a junior cast. In general... I give an 8. 9 is for students that don't exist and 10 is for God.

seanybsta Great cast new and old, ending could've done with some fine tuning overall a fantastic coming of age movie. All 3 leads stand out as stars.

stskotty I wasn't necessarily excited about movie before watching it. I was expecting a sort of knock off of a coming of age comedy set in a specific time period, throw in some sex and music and you have a run of the mill flick I've seen versions of a hundred times before Let me assure you this is not that! What an absolutely unique, fun spin on an age old story The director takes this film to unexpected places and the 3 young lead actors are without a doubt the Hollywood A-list of tomorrow. If you are trying to decide if you want to watch this or something else do yourself a favor and watch Hot Summer Nights. It's completely different from what you think it will be in the best possible way
