Reviews
At times this is a funny, touching film, but more often it isn't.
The film thinks it wants to be sincere, when all it truly wants is to be popular, just like the other kids' movies, so it sells off its originality.
As written by Michael Swerdlick and guided by Rash, the theme dissolves into a bland parody of pubescent pain.
It doesn't have a thought in its head and probably no notion of the corruption at its core.
