Late Nineties period pieces are some of my favorites. The time in our recent history that we were right on the verge of where we are now, but not yet aware of what was about to happen. This movie captures that really well, you see all the time correct special effects from the start, and just keep getting blasted with them. You could compare this to Singles, and in a way Valley Girl (the way they stick to the time, and really make you believe you are back in the late Nineties). This kid is mixed up, but completely on track, and at least he seems to want to succeed, and is trying all the time. The story is good, there is a real set of people being portrayed here, and all of the actors are great at being who they are. The Idiocy of youth the complete ignorance of any need to plan, and still feeling certain that it will all just work out. I Enjoyed this movie, it had a real heart, and some really funny moments through out makes me certain that you will too.
