Concepción de León New York Times An endearing and offbeat take on the teenage coming-of-age film. Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Funny and sincere. Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Dominic Griffin The Baltimore Beat The film’s movie-referencing, self-aware sheen betrays a heartfelt core that makes it an instant classic about the travails of youth. Rated: 7.5/10 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media We care about and root for these teens, as they do for each other. Their diverse backgrounds offer fodder in the script, from writers Shea Serrano and Jason Concepcion, for some cleverly funny heckling among local teens. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Likeable but a little unsettling...its pizzazz and engaging young leads can’t entirely conceal that the movie conveys some mixed messages it never manages to sort out. Rated: C+ Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment Frequently entertaining thanks to the efforts of the teenage cast to act like teenagers, complete with banter and silly antics. Rated: 6/10 Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Nadine E Pure genius! Never seen anything like it! A must see of the decade!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Zyleth B This is bloody funny! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Me A This is like an edgy after-school special and so refreshing! Such a nice break from movies that constantly sexualize teens...it's not earth-breaking territory, not cerebral academia, and there is no huge underlying theme. It's just about a quirky group of teens doing silly teenage things while one teen struggles with impending change. As an adult, I absolutely enjoyed it. Definitely something to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Katsikavouro E This was such a fun film and the visuals where incredible. The characters where interesting and there was no unnecessary stuff or dialogs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Sophia D My kids (14 and 12) keep watching this over and over again. Really great performances and great directing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Great teenage action, funny, creative movie!! Loved it and very heartfelt friendship story. Definitely a good watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
