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

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.

This is a great example of why some movies were made for streaming; a low-key dramedy that features strong filmic humor, wonderful (and often ironic) needle drops, and great performances. Gluck is an empathetic and relatable center for the film, but Davidson is the star; he was made for this role, and he nails it.

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!!

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.
