Underrated Film
16 December 2020
Simple but so meaningful.

This might be one of the most underrated films I've ever watched, dam I almost cried at the end, what a beautiful film. It baffles me how the director has only directed one film, despite being his first, I think he did pretty well.

I watched this on Youtube since I couldn't find it anywhere else so I'm not sure who to blame for the bad camera quality, the film itself or the uploader, but if the camera quality was really this bad or if they did add a filter in the original movie, I would like to say that I really liked it. It makes the film look like it was made in the 60s (this is when the story takes place) and it adds charm to the film.

I just love these types of coming of age films, this might not be up there with the bests, but it's definitely one of the better ones. I legit don't understand how this film only has a rating just over 7, I can't find a single bad thing about this movie, well I guess it does have some flaws with the production and the acting, but everything good overshadows that.

The story starts out very light-heartedly and basic, but as the film progresses, the films get darker, deeper and more realistic in general. This isn't your average coming of age road trip film, it has an original uncliche story and a strange but cool 60s vibe to it that deserves a watch. Also did I mention how I really liked the performances of Sophia and Boyd and the music? Didn't even know Max from Sharkboy and Lavagirl became a baseball player! It's a shame that this film is less than 90 minutes, I actually want more.

Everyone is flawed, just like this film, and I love it.
