Good Kids

This movie was fun to watch! I mostly watched it because of Zoey Deutch. All her movies are usually amazing and I was glad to see that this one is too. It's different from the usual teen movies and I think that's is really good. Despite the terrible Indian accent, I had a great time watching Good Kids.

I'm confused by the bunch of negative reviews here since I found the movie thoroughly enjoyable. It's definitely worth the watch!

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.

The movie looks well made, the actors are decent enough but the storyline and dialogs are so bad that sometimes I wondered if the whole thing was a persiflage. Alas, it isn't.

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.

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.
