Remembering what being a teenager feels like

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2020)

Taking this movie within it's coming of age comedy genre, I feel it's one of the best ever made.
Judging by the fact that more than 10 years after seeing this I still remember a lot of funny scenes and quotes, makes me think that it was a memorable and entertaining experience.
The interactions between the three protagonists shows the story of friendship in the trouble world of teenagers. Everyone tries to act cool, but deep down no one really is and that contrast is shown superbly.
The three friends are on a confidence roller-coaster that should transport any viewer to their teenage years.
I feel this movie also single-handedly shot up Jonah Hill and Emma Stone's career. I don't remember much of their work before this, but I remember a lot afterwards. Given that it wasn't very dramatic and it wasn't set up in the best way to show acting qualities, that alone should tell you something about the quality of the script.
Probably the only reason people snubbed their noses at this is that they didn't take it for what it is and wanted something sophisticated.
