A nice coming of age tale with strong characters, excellent dialogue and some incredible cinematography.

Excellent teen roadtrip movie. Spectacular cinematography makes the movie pop. Some excellent acting and amazing locations bring it above average. A high quality production.

I love this film! My son is the lead and I'm very proud of his work. The entire cast is great and touch my heart. The cinematography was beautiful. Inspiring and enjoyable for adults to watch as well.

I ordered a bunch of movies to watch while I was on maternity bed rest and this is one of the cutest. I didn't want anythig too scary or intense, just something fun. It is a fun, silly little movie that reminded me of 16 candles. Absolutely beautiful to watch and I love this kind of stuff. Kind of like I love cafeteria food. There is just something really happy about it.

According to the Anthem Pictures website, this is "a bittersweet dramatic comedy about friendships, insecurities, rites of passage and the death of idealism. Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law) is featured as Alex's father, forced to drop everything to come bail the kids out of trouble and Michael Jackson (Newsradio 1070 AM) provides a documentary-style narration drawn from the Desmond Morris book by the same name."

This is NOT the rare Johnny Crawford 1973 film, more's the pity, but a cheesy coming-of-age flick from 2006 (see IMDB for more info).

I tried, but finally had to turn it off--the main offense is that it comes off like adults trying to write kids... lame, awkward, unbelievable and unmoving.
