Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
AdamGBonney When I decided to turn this on, I was a little hesitant. I mean how many teenage films do they need to make? But when I started watching I quickly realized that this film was different. How many films talk about sexual identity? Gosh it made me think about some of my friends that have come out since high school and realized how hard that decision must have been.I loved all the teenagers in this film. They felt so well cast. Jason Dolley is awesome as a troubled lost boy. Skyler Samuels and Devon Werkheiser are really fun to watch and made me laugh. More films like this deserve to be told so that we can start a conversation.
AbigailKLeavitt The people giving this movie 1 star have no idea how hard it is to make a movie. They have no idea how much work, time and heart goes into making a movie, ESPECIALLY an independent film. 1 star means that the movie failed completely on every level and that is just indisputably wrong. This movie looks and sounds as good as a studio remix. The performances are all solid and the story holds up.If we don't support independent movies we're only going to get boring, vanilla stories and comic book movies.I would challenge everyone who rated this movie 1 star to try to do better and then get their heads out of their .
AbrahamIPerlman I've always had a thing for coming of age teenage films and this one is now up there with my favorites! It's so cute and tender and touching and made me want to cry at times and laugh at others. It's so weird but Nia Vardalos reminds me so much of my own mum but in a good way - luckily my mum never put posters of me all around my high school! Jason Dolley sometimes annoyed me but was still nice to watch. Skyler Samuels was such a great choice for the queen bee of High School. She has such a beautiful way about her. I wish she was my friend. Please watch this film. It's so touching.
phuongqb900 I don't know why people are rating this movie so badly.The only reason that people rate movies with 1 or 2 stars is because it made them feel something, WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT! Just because you didn't like it doesn't make it a bad movie! We have all experienced the things this movie talks about: acceptance, love, family, relationships, personal identity. The lead character has to struggle with discovering who he is while juggling college applications, high school drama and worst of all, a neurotic and obsessive mom.It's definitely worth checking out.I really liked it.
