Anyone rating this a 10 is obviously a friend(or member) of the production. Anyone rating it a 1 is obviously a hater. It's a pretty average low budget indie. The story is predictable, but so are most of these high school angst ridden comedies, so it's hard to criticize that. It's the same recipe we've all seen before. Matt Steele does a wonderful job as the main character, Ricky Redmond, which is the bright spot for this movie. The production value is meh, not great but not bad. The stunt casting, which is typical in low budget indies, was more indicative of the budget as they appeared to scrape the bottom of the D List barrel for small turns throughout. The dark spot for this movie is the so called "actor" playing Mr. Aubrey. The only thing I believe when he is on the screen is that I've never felt more sorry for a pair of pleated khakis. This is becoming more of a trend in indie films with executive producers paying for roles and fake press to perpetuate this ruse that they are professional actors. Most will tell you that this tactic is a great way to lose credibility for your movie and for what? So you can fool a handful of friends and family that don't know any better? Seems like an expensive hobby. Anyway, I think this is a safe option to drop a few bucks to stream for the family.

No no no, just NO. I can't even begin to, ok, its supposed to be a comedy I think, but its funny for reasons that were not intentional. I wasted enough time on this movie, two hours I'll never get back. This will be my shortest review ever. Hard NO.

I stumbled across this during quarantine and I'm really glad I did. It was not what I expected, but often times thats a good thing and this film was no exception. If you can get by the political aspects of the film, something I try to do, and just watch it for the story and archs of the characters, it is quite powerful. If you choose to research the political aspects of the film, I encourage you to do so. I'm not going to single out any performances as they were good-not great- however they were more than enough to fuel this magnificent script. I'll mark the production value with the same mark as the cast, but again, more than enough there to carry you on this journey. You will cry, you will cheer, the absence of either would make me question your humanity. Give it a go!
