The big issues are saved towards the final moments of the film, but the rest of Big Time Adolescence is reserved with humour that's actually very memorable and sometimes usable. As the title sorely suggests, this movie tackles adolescence in the form of teenager Griffin Gluck following the destructive path of aimless, drug dealing college dropout Pete Davidson.
Big Time Adolescence's top focus is on how a good kid or a seemingly-innocent kid can take the road of destruction, drugs, sex and alcohol. In this story, the teenage character's parents know of him as a good kid doing nothing wrong like getting high or getting tattoos, but he's doing just that and more. This can often feel relatable for some teens and adults and it makes the entire film very entertaining and watchable.
The humour is also a big surprise in this movie, with most of it consisting around genuine jokes over crude sexualised innuendo or kids swearing. There's dating, lots of drug dealing and drug-related stuff, with most of the big issues being saved towards the end. Unfortunately however, when everything seems final, satisfied and ready to shut down, it still drags on a little more into the aftermath of the story's events.
