About
You’ll like this if you want a heartfelt, funny-then-serious coming-of-age tale with believable performances and lots of awkward teenage energy, but Not for you if you only want a straightforward comedy like ATL or Dope.
Pros: heartfelt coming-of-age; strong performances; entertaining tension | Cons: more drama than comedy; uneven pacing; mixed feelings about ending
