About
Expect a darkly funny, sharply written coming-of-age story with plenty of attitude and dysfunction; Not for you if you want a sympathetic hero, clear story momentum, or a feel-good teen drama like Ghost World or Wonder Boys.
Pros: biting humor; off-beat cast; sharp dialogue | Cons: uneven flow; unlikeable characters; mixed script
