This movie gave me mixed emotions from laughing to also feeling really sad towards the end. Zeke is 23 years old and such a lovable character despite how much of a "loser" he is and how he treats all the women in his life. Mo, who is 16 years old, looks up to him so much but towards the end Mo realizes how much he does not want to end up like Zeke. Zeke is a really bad influence for Mo, with even Mo's dad and Mo's sister asking Zeke to leave him alone because they don't want him to screw up. Unfortunately towards the end, Mo's decisions cause him to lose the girl he liked and even some of his friends at school due to their backstabbing tendencies to save themselves from being in big trouble. Mo is clearly a good kid but he lets his false idealistic perspective of being cool like Zeke and his friends get in the way.
It is obvious how broken Zeke is about losing Mo's friendship near the end because he really does not have anyone who views him as highly as he does with Mo. All the women abandon Zeke and treat him like the screw up that he really is and he ends up doing exactly what you think he would at the end of the movie..
At the end, Mo moves on with his life not looking back and Zeke is left behind exactly where he was before.
