About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, funny-sad coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, and small-town pressure, in the vein of Love, Simon or Handsome Devil; Not for you if you want a broad rom-com or nonstop laughs.
Pros: heartfelt coming-of-age story; warm, hopeful tone; strong lead performances | Cons: not as funny advertised; some clunky moments; side characters feel thin
