I've never watched a comedy where so many jokes just fell flat. The same conversations are repeated throughout the whole movie, without much changing.
The whole thing felt like a sitcom, maybe that's the Kenya Barris' touch. Those transitions were awful and distracting. A whole bunch of talent is wasted here.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the slow plot and the ages not making any sense what so ever I would have loved this. The story was heartwarming, heartbreaking, funny, and relatable all at the same time. The soundtrack was headboppingly perfect. It made me cry and headbop, sometimes at the same time. The characters were played brilliantly by the actors, but the ages they were given took me out so many times. I loved the morals and portayal of family, friendship, relationships, and just life overall. The first time experiences and the last time experiences all for different reasons. Oh, and the 90s vibe hits warmly.
Geraldine Viswanathan is great. The rest is ok.
WOW, this was awkward AND uncomfortable. Justin Long was the main issue for me, he wasn't funny or creepy like every other character he's played. However, Justin as the rugged, outdoorsy leading man just didn't feel right. This is one of those movies where you keep waiting for something to happen but it never does.
I saw this one at a festival, not knowing what I'm getting into... and I was pleasantly suprised.Good acting, suprising story with some fun scenes - also very gory. I really liked it.
