04/19/2018 What an amazing coming-of-age story: bright, funny, sad, intelligent and well-acted. Movies like this give more than entertainment. They give us humanity, more aliveness. Great characters, plot, and a refreshing script. Bravo! See more 12/30/2016 I saw it in long time ago See more 09/01/2016 A Cool kind, but suddenly feeling the real life pressure! Another teen comedy-drama, precisely to say a coming-of-age theme based on the novel of the same name. It is not from the big production house, but the well known faces make it a worth a watch and their performances were too not bad. The tale of a teen tomboy girl Lucy, whose father visits home often who works in Canada and her mother is an easy going type. It's about a time for her sexual exploration and the first choice is her best buddy Kenny. But quickly the things around changes which forces her to opt the life she wants and what follows is how it all shapes up before bringing a curtain to the narration. I felt like wanting to give it a better rating, at least it deserves a decent respect, but narration had lots of up and down. That does not matter, even for how a tale begins, but the ending should have been a better one where I slightly disappointed with it. Sarah Bolger looked solid, totally one man show you could say. Maybe that is how the story was designed, but that did not stand a chance to impress me, because I thought it leaned excessively on her alone leaving other characters less developed. Anyway, it could also be said like this that it was her story which lacked the good support. It is not just a coming-of-age film, but when you look at how the story ends, that's kind of self-discovery. Maybe the girl was caught between the teenhood and adulthood, especially in the climax it leaped forward too long. The hardest part is the R rating for a teen film, though there were none nudes, even in the sex scenes, but the film topic itself highly influenced by those like experiencing and moving-on in the life. So the film is not worth going after for a watching by someone's recommendation, only when you get an opportunity without much options you could try it. 5.5/10 See more 05/22/2016 pretty cool coming to age and all that it involved including cooking, kissing and discovering self worth. See more 09/04/2015 I give this a D+( 68). See more brendan n @RT81293130 08/27/2015 Badly written film, the performances are all over the place. See more Read all reviews
