Okay so as I started watching I immediately did not want to like it. I fully admit that. However, as I continued on it started to grow on me and in the end I have to say that I definitely did. It's well shot, funny, and a tribute to several different movies throughout. Alana Haim impressed the hell out of me too which was something I did not expect. Its clearly not for everyone, but the irony is that I fully expected I would fall into that category myself.
Some of the criticisms I've read I don't agree with. Unlike other movies where LGBT scenes are clearly forced, here it was perfectly inserted into the script and well done. This complaint about the age differences is completely absurd. This movie is set in the 70s. Heck, I grew up in the 80s and everyone of us ages 16 and up hooked up with at least one 20 something before graduation. NEWSFLASH: Nobody cared if the teen was male. In fact, it was celebrated.
