Big Time Adolescence

This is not a traditional comedy, nor is it a blackcomedy either, its somwehere inbetween.... its a description of a young mans life and speedway to adulthood, the immaturity told in a mature manner, and the acting by the main cast is just darn good. its not full of action, just a lifesaver to all youth at the brink, and all young parents looking for signs so that they can make their traps and eventually punish their loved ones for their bad moves.

the rather immature grumpy old man found this very heartwarming, ive experienced some of the things myself, so its a good choice for everyone above age of 12. its a recommend

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This is a surprisingly touching "coming of age" story. I'm not a big fan of Pete Davidson, but he does what he does well enough.

I could imagine many people relating to this in several different ways, and what's more is that it feels timeless. Yes, they have cellphones in this, but I could imagine a greaser version of this where he comes by instead of calling, as opposed to calling instead of texting.

The presentation is subtle and near perfect, everyone plays there roles very well.

Its subtle again, but the writing is well nuanced. It really captures the essence of someone who got a broad future, but gets tunnel vision based on his "childish" wants.

There is a lot of depth here if that's what you're looking for, but the minimal version of this is still a good movie.

The conversations and the way Pete Davidson acts is so authentic (I think attributed to his micro-dosing of mushrooms) from body movements to line delivery, he was spot on. You watched a star that has the possibility to go anywhere now that we seen how much he was made for the big screen, in his first starring role ever. I predict he will go far and really hope he does, love his stand up, loved him on SNL (even though show has went downhill and hard to watch sometimes), his way of thinking about loving life, and now I love his acting on the big screen. I can't wait to see what his next performance will be or what type of roles he can play, really excited, as he should be, for his career right now!!

Does this movie do anything special? No. Does this movie do anything never done before? No. I love it though. This is a truly depressing coming of age story. It depicts the reality of how bad the mistakes you make as a kid can actually end up being. Griffin Gluck and Pete Davidson give heartfelt and heartbreaking performances. This movie is a darker Superbad and a better Mid90s. This movie really shows why I love Pete Davidson. This movie does things that have been done before, but does it in a way that personally resonates with me more than most other coming of age movies.

The story didn't really end anywhere and I wanted more comedy. Newb director and writer Jason Orley was impressive this being his first full length film. What humor there was, was great, as was Pete Davidson who needs to do more TV/movies. He was jokes in The Rookie.
