User Reviews

Clever. Underrated. Gem.

I had heard nothing about this film apart from the few reviews here. This was a REALLY pleasant surprise. A lighthearted & darkish (if not black) comedy of sorts, without the usual irritating teens. The young people portrayed here were really likeable, the acting from all involved was above par, and the writer, Bob Saentz, is very talented. I thought the acting of Timothy Simons who plays Detective Cliff Dawkins was particularly good. Lots of subtle character quirks. I highly recommend this very entertaining movie. I am really surprised I haven't heard more about it. I rate it an easy 8.5/10.
