7/10
An Underrated Late 90s Gem

Warning: Spoilers
This one somehow got missed, but it's a quality coming of age teenage angst film that really doesn't really get made anymore. It's arguably the Farrely Brothers finest work. Great cast, it's funny, has a nice soundtrack and is well casted, shot on location in Rhode Island. Alec Baldwin fits perfectly as the old school, blue collar father and the supporting cast is also very good. It even taps into the era's homophobic undercurrent that was more prevalent in the 1970s than what you'd fnd today. If you enjoyed movies like Dazed and Confused and a tv show like Freeks and Geeks, ,this is more or less a cross between those kinds of works. Defintely a lost little gem.
