Solid debut film by writer/director Underdahl. It is a nice blend of comedy and drama with terrific performances by the five main characters. Cute scene where the students recite movie dialogue in order to get their beer cup. The strength of the movie lies in the characters. All are compelling and likable. Funny and clever too how the director has the characters reciting the same dialogue in a different manner. Some shots occasionally are out of focus, but for a film budget of only $75,000, the film looks darn good. I'll take this movie anytime over dumb Hollywood films such as Pluto Nash or Swimfan.
