harper C @harper_clav Jul 11 Deeply captivating. It really connected to my teenage years as a rebel youngster. Great acting all around, especially Sam and his father. Only critique is the Dads death had very short build up. I think if they told Sam earlier he would have had more time to process and deeper understand what that meant. Same goes for the viewers of the movie. See more Dan0 A @Dan0ajrah May 16 This is a great movie, it is emotional and cuts deep. A tear jerker for sure. I have to recognize Hayden Christensen in this film because he did so well at portraying a very distraught and conflicted teen. This movie had me very engaged and I think it is worth the watch.

The film aged pretty poorly and feels like a 2000s period piece however I do really enjoy this movie. It tells a great story narratively but some plotlines feel weirdly done like the 16 year old girl kissing his dad? and then the dad being happy about it? That and the girls boyfriend getting with her mom is very off-putting to an otherwise would have already tackled a lot movie See more Read all reviews
