I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
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.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
