It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
