Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 10/20/2016
Plays like third-rate Richard Linklater, minus the acclaimed filmmaker's eye for keenly observed characters and ear for realistic dialogue. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth MacLeod The Playlist 11/04/2016

An average, uneven, coming-of-age flick with decent performances. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 10/21/2016
... has some amusing moments of awkward silliness, yet the jokes eventually become more lazy and obnoxious while the plotting turns predictable. Go to Full Review
David Noh Film Journal International 10/21/2016
Nothing very original here, but it's well played and shot, capturing one summer's hectic span for four kids about to enter college. Go to Full Review

B-
It's not a great first feature for McCoy, but it's surely a competent one that speaks loudly -- and somewhat profanely -- to a budding talent with intriguing possibilities. Go to Full Review

D+
While a comedy, the picture offers few laughs, generally avoiding any basis in reality to become a cartoon with the occasional blip of sensitivity. Go to Full Review

Sean S 08/21/2023 I truly believe this is the perfect blend of a coming of age movie with raunchy humor. Does a great job of developing characters and at the same time getting some great laughs at some pretty good jokes. I'm gonna be one in the minority that actually believes this is one of the better coming of age romantic comedy movies out there See more Yuri B @RyuBlack 03/31/2023 Honestly I'm surprised but how much I really enjoyed this. I mean Andy was a real hypocritical POS. But the rest of the crew was cool as hell. Especially Lion, he was the **** I really wish I had that kind of friend when I was in school. And Spice had a real good heart, a tremendously good natured cat. Could definitely watch this again. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 08/18/2022 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes.

See more 11/25/2020 I picked out this movie because the cast has people I like. They mostly delivered, with Nicholas Braun and Zoey Deutch standing out. However, the plot is generic, it's not all that funny, and the love story is bland. See more steve d 07/20/2020 Frustrating because it is so close to being a good movie and squanders it on lazy sex jokes. Zoey Deutch shows her talent and should become a huge star.
