I watched a free sneak preview online and was really, really surprised. I get their email updates and the last one said ten sold-out screenings in a row, so I was curious, and I get it.
They don't make coming of age comedies like this anymore. This is more satire than a straight up comedy. This is the kind of film you quote for weeks afterwards. It reminded of John Hughes instead of Superbad.
Which I love because I was in high school during the John Hughes era and I'm so friggin tired of the crap that passes for coming-of-age comedies now. How many van wilders or cheerleading movies do we need before we revolt.
Anyways was pleasantly surprised because I know the film was low budget, so I expected low budget, but I never felt like I was watching a "low budget" movie. I laughed, I cared about the characters, and when it was over i felt like I had gone to the beach with them.
