good movie done in risky context

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2004)

I thought that this movie was going to be foolish but not all that bad... I was wrong and i was right... The movie was foolish in some respects, but it is a comedy and a sort of teen flick in the fact that these are teens (it wouldn't have worked very well with just adults anyway). I must say that the foolishness is done well in that it wasn't out of place
I believe the director and writers snuck a real movie in there somewhere.. This movie game me the feeling I got when I watched "almost famous" for the first time... It's no where near the caliber of that film but it does a good job of mixing those elements with the elements of a basic teen comedy. This is a story of finding your self in life as in 'Almost Famous'
I liked that it did the bully thing but it was not with the expected jocks that are always the bully and you did not see the characters back down so quickly only to muscle enough strength later... This was a gradual approach to man hood and a brave step forward...
Anyway enough rambling... 7/10
P.S. this is my first post after registering today.. I must really like this film I'll up it to a 8/10
