You know those "comedies" where, in retrospect, all of the funniest parts are shown (i.e.; spoiled) in the trailer? Yes, God, Yes one-ups this annoying and actually portrays (in the trailer) very unfunny parts of the movie as if it will be hilarious when you actually see it.
And that is my biggest gripe here. This is very much not a comedy. There may be a funny moment or two, but I came into the film expecting something similar to Saved! And then spent the whole film not laughing & being upset at every lost opportunity for a great funny moment. I can only guess that the writer/editor did not actually intend this to be a comedy at all.
As a sort of coming-of-age drama, this may be a decent flick, but when I was expecting a comedy, I just spent the whole movie feeling very unsatisfied. Even as a drama, the pacing is very slow/off - at one point I had to check how far into it I was. 2/3 through and it still felt like just barely the introduction.
Decent acting, but unless you feel this story speaks to you personally, skip it.
