Brent G. @bgillett86 Mar 12 I’ve come to the conclusion that Sydney Sweeney is better as a supporting actor than she is as a leading actor. A little of her is always enough, but a lot of her is nearly always too much. See more vihaan b @VihaanBodwal Feb 12 Big Time Adolescence has the potential of becoming a big time dramedy. See more Drayton G @DraytonG Jan 23 its a great movie the actors really encapsulate the feelings that were meant to be shown See more Chris O @Xtian5 Sep 27 Bad movie with downer vibe. Pete Davison perfectly cast as the usual douche. I liked his show Bupkis though. Not as good as The King of Staten Island which I also hated. If that is your favorite movie you might like this. Everyone else sucked in it too. Even Sydney Sweeney. Did she statutory grape that kid? Jon Cryer I don't like in general outside of the 80s when he had hair. Get a wig guy dude. He'd be a good choice in a movie about a pederast. He was a good pick as the useless father. Why did I choose this? Saw a good review thought I'd give it a chance. See more Ola G @Ollie1972 May 11 16-year-old Monroe "Mo" Harris (Griffin Gluck) is escorted out of class by a police officer. When Mo was younger, his older sister Kate dated her classmate Isaac "Zeke" Presanti (Pete Davidson). Even after she broke up with him, Zeke and Mo remained close friends, despite their age difference. Mo's parents, Reuben and Sherri, allow Mo to continue hanging out with Zeke despite their concern about Zeke's influence. Zeke, now 23, works a dead-end job and spends most of his time smoking marijuana and drinking. Mo spends his free time with Zeke, his friends, and Zeke’s girlfriend Holly, rather than anyone his own age. Zeke helps Mo acquire drinks for a senior party after being invited by fellow sophomore Stacey, and gives Mo some weed to sell there. This earns Mo credibility among the seniors at the party. Seeing his classmate Sophie there, they exchange numbers after he strikes up a conversation with her. Mo later takes Sophie out on a dinner date for sushi before taking her back to Zeke's place to hang out. They drink, and before Sophie leaves, she and Mo kiss. This earns him the nickname "Tongue Daddy" from his friends, which Zeke tattoos onto Mo's chest. The next night Mo comes home accidentally stoned after being in a hot boxed car with Zeke, right before a family dinner. His father Reuben (Jon Cryer) realizes this and sees his tattoo, resulting in Mo being grounded and forbidden from hanging out with Zeke... Big Time Adolescence received positive reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus reads, "Funny, heartfelt, and brought to life by a smartly assembled ensemble, Big Time Adolescence finds fresh pleasures in the crowded coming-of-age genre." Brian Lowry of CNN criticized Davidson's performance, stating, "Pete Davidson doesn't exactly stretch much as a performer." In the same article, Lowry praised Gluck's performance. (Via Wikipedia) "Big Time Adolescence" is more or less a classic coming-of-age story, nothing new really, but with the punch that Mo's best friend is Zeke, his older sister Kate's former classmate and boyfriend. A man child that works at a dead-end job and spends most of his time smoking marijuana and drinking. The laughs are few and the former Saturday Night Live member Pete Davidson can´t carry this film and he is to be honest not a strong acting card. Jon Cryer´s presence doesn't help either. "Big Time Adolescence" flatlines pretty quick and never recovers in my book. See more The H @RT75285738 03/10/2025 I actually really enjoyed this movie, Pete Davidson was constantly funny through out, you end up kind of feeling bad for his character even though he's a "bad guy". Also, depicts what drugs & alcohol do to your life, even if you're not using them, you will become a loser if you associate yourself with losers. See more Read all reviews
