This movie does a great job exploring depression and related issues that teens (or really anyone) face, without being too "dark" or "heavy." It was the perfect movie to lift my spirits on a rainy, gloomy day. The characters are quirky and funny, yet totally believable and relatable. There is one scene in particular, involving shopping carts (I won't say more so as not to spoil), that had me laughing out loud. Kudos to the writer/ lead actor, Paxton Gilmore. His portrayal of Lars really carried this film. Also to the director, Joe Grisaffi, who pulled everything together nicely. Overall, a great independent film! I highly recommend it!
