Great Film overall
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.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
