This comedy, which starts out as a relatively lightweight high school romp and turns much deeper and darker, is directed by Max Winkler, son of Henry and Stacey Winkler. It stars the delightful Zoey Deutch, daughter of director Howard Deutch and ("Back to the Future") actress Lea Thompson. And another character is portrayed by Romy Byrne, daughter of actors Gabriel Byrne and Ellen Barkin. So one may assume these Hollywood kids know a lot of this material first hand. The always good Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn (as Zoey's mom) are able to provide much-needed support, especially after the film's more serious turn. Not exactly a twist ending, but no less complicated/unpredictable as it would be if it had that. Because of some of the hiccups in the writing (never mind the plot), I have to subtract a star for a 6/10 rating. But if you haven't seen Zoey Deutch yet in other roles, it's a fair way to discover her considerable talent.
