The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
