    Feel good movie

    Usually not a fan of coming of age movie or filming with hand held camera .... but I gave this movie a chance and I did not regret it. Great cast, good rhythm, laugh out loud moments. Loved it!

    Nostalgia on film

    Captures beautifully how much simpler life seemed back in the 90s and early 2000s. Friends, Fun and Drama without all the social media and fast-paced nonsense of our digital, online age that killed the romance in our lives. Oh how much I would give to go back to then.

    The aesthetics of the film were great too. Really gave off a convincing retro vibe that matched nice with the throwback soundtrack. Bravo.
