Mixtape

Great flick about making new friends, discovering new music, and how cool record stores used to be! Asked my wife what she thought at the end and she said "bittersweet" and I couldn't agree more. Some happy, some sad, all mixed in to one fun movie. The inner-workings of a mixed tape all flushed out - with Nick Thune as the standout imo as the gruff record store owner that takes the main character under his wing to share the love of music and mixtapes.

With excellent acting throughout. Great music and a warm and fuzzy sense of humour. No idea why people keep referring to Julie Bowen as being the "aunt" - how wrong can you be? If you want to block out the world and all its current angst curl up and watch this - it's the prefect antedote.

I'd give this a 6 if it was a theatrical release. But for a streaming film I give it a 7 which I feel is slightly above average.

As a person who was about the same age of the main character at the same year in time it was fun to see, even if most of the rest didn't really mimic my life. Perhaps I would have been more critical if it wasn't so suited for someone of my age. But I also was never into punk rock and never lost my parents or was raised by a non-biological parent. So some people could relate more to those components.

It seems like a good film to put on with a family with people of many ages. And it's nice to have movies like that available on Netflix.

Watched this feel-good movie with my husband and kids, relaxing, amusing, amazing music, Julie Bowen as grandma maybe in 20 years from now, Nick Thune with some great comedy lines, the trio of teenagers a breath of fresh air.

Loved it!

I enjoyed this film. It has a feel good quality without being full of schmaltzy. The three girls are great charters. They come across as real with the normal ambitions of young teens. Down ti earth and fun with enough pathos to make the happiness real.
