About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, tender look at friendship, first big choices, and small-town restlessness, with a nostalgic vibe; Not for you if you need nonstop laughs or fast plot like Away We Go.
Pros: warm, funny friendships; nostalgic 70s feel; heartfelt coming-of-age | Cons: uneven comedy-drama tone; some jokes fall flat; familiar story beats
