A coming of age story for a shy, angry, awkward, and unhappy 14 year old. It's a film with a lot of down points throughout, and many characters you'd love to just punch in the face, but there's some really great moments that will undoubtedly make you smile.
No dispute from me, this is a well made and well acted film. Steve Carell again shows of his range, because he's never been so unlikeable. Sam Rockwell, in true Sam Rockwell fashion, is amazing and extremely loveable. No matter who you are, if you're able to have that much of an impact on someone's life, especially at that stage in life, you are a hero.
The only thing that really got me, and this is not a criticism, it's a me not you scenario, is that it was almost too much awkwardness for me to handle. Just be ready for that.
