This was a fun coming of age film--nothing groundbreaking, to be sure. Most of the dialogue and moments felt real, no hiding or masking what teenage guys are thinking or saying. But occasionally it was a bit too dark or a little too quirky. The father-son relationship was most fascinating, to me. And running away from home, while not a new concept, is dealt with in a fresh way.
