I had a stressful day at the office, wanted to switch off and chuckle with no tension or drama. Good kids is the perfect movie for that. Don't expect too much, but if you just want to chuvkle and go along for a nice ride, enjoy
Nora (Zoey Deutch), Andy (Nicholas Braun), Lion (Mateo Arias), and Spice (Israel Broussard) are best friends since childhood. They are unflinchingly good kids in the poor side of the resort town and headed for good colleges. They refused to party or do anything bad. Lion teaches martial arts to little kids. One of his students invites him to her birthday party on the rich side of town where they've never been. The group of townie friends decide to go partying and do all the bad things that they missed.
This is a promising premise but newcomer Chris McCoy is unable to deliver on the hard-partying fun. The premise is built to be an one-crazy-night movie. Instead, it's all stretched out and it rambles around. There are some rom-com ideas but they're slapped together haphazardly. Although, it does lead to a surprisingly great friendzone conversation. The characters and actors are perfectly nice. Braun has his great lanky awkwardness. Zoey Deutch could do more awkwardness to help her character. The other two have less to do. They're all nice but this is nothing special or anything that funny.

As soon as you are finished watching this you are gonna start to forget everything about it. This movie will have no impact on a viewer. The story is mundane. Most of the times the jokes were not funny. The acting were amateurish more than often. The direction is not at all commendable.
I don't hate this movie but I'm not impressed either. This falls into the category of movies which doesn't have massive screw ups but also doesn't have something significant to show. I would recommend skipping this one.

A group of kids who were never popular in high school decide to break out of their shells and go crazy over the summer before they head off to college. Of course, nic braun (plays andy) is 28, so its hard to picture him as a high school senior. Although he did get the role on succession soon after this. Andy claims to be a tennis teacher, but the rich, society women are actually paying him for sex. Good for him. But we seem to lose track of the other three for most of the film. Lion teaches martial arts, but seems to be trying every drug there is. Not sure what the journey or conflict is here... maybe just to stay out of jail until they head off to college. For high school kids, they don't seem to have any rules or parents. Just rich kids doing rich kid things. Hard to feel sympathy for them. The script needed a major tune-up. It's pretty much a starring role for braun.... the others seem to be along for the ride. Written and directed by chris mccoy.
It was just like the British film 'Kids in Love' I'd seen prior to this. Explored only on a comedic side. Four friends who have been the ideal kids, after a few years later on one summer, before heading to the college, they have decided to accomplish everything they had missed in their life so far. So it's a time to blend in with what their kind do, but not as easy as it seems. Sometimes everything goes out of their proportion and some of them struggle at beginning itself. Overall, how their summer ends, in that, what they had gained and lost was told.
Written and directed by a newcomer. Really very good try. Good comedies and well performed actors. The four lead characters were unique. The story around them was nicely built. But not they all were equally balanced. Most of the focus was on Nicolas Braun and then Zoey. I kind of felt the scenes were intentionally done, but worth an attempt. Slightly predictable film, which was like any Hollywood teenage flick. At a time a few things stretch beyond our anticipation. Might not be the best teen flick, though worth a watch.
6/10
