"Awkward teenage angst is personified here. Another movie I saw in the theater and loved when it premiered. Some bits did not age well but all in all a great movie. Recommended. "

"Took me a while to finally get around and see this. It's a feel-good, cute, coming-of-age classic."

"I like this movie..but it is so dated! It’s weird ideas about Consent and don’t even get me started on the strange racism..if you can look passed that it’s really good movie with a very relatable lead. "
