User Reviews

Work hard, party hard

And also the usual teenage movie cliches, being in love with the wrong one, not seeing what is right in front of you, setting the wrong kind of goals for yourself, having to find what you truly want and so forth. Now you can see where this is going from a mile a way. Or even further, it's not really surprising, but it does have a certain charme to it.

The actors and the script are not that bad, and they actually achieve that you kind of care for them. Even though there is not that much to get out of the "story", it's nicely told. So if you don't have cynic mind going into it, you may have fun watching it. Not too much, just because of the nature of the film and the already mentioned predictability.
