Big Time Adolescence

Great coming of age comedy with a stand out performance from Pete Davidson. He's great in the role of Zeke (or basically himself) & Griffin Gluck is good in the straight role.

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 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.

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.
