Fresh look at young adults making life changing decisions

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2015)

I watched this movie with my young teen daughter who is just discovering how clueless and well-meaning the young men in her life are. There is a freshness and charm about allowing a young man to bumble through his relationships and life trying again, and again, to learn life's lessons about choosing the right words and deeds to carry out his good intentions. Wouldn't we all like to have a second or third take on some of the key scenes in our teens and twenties? The women in the film do revolve around the men. But they are more than cheerleaders. They have depth and love and autonomy. Finally, the father/son relationship is worth the price of the ticket. Our sons and brothers and fathers need honest, bumbling, believable film role models to help them forgive themselves and love each other. This film accomplishes that.
