Very Cool!!!

People are voting emotionally.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I can only say that this is a must-watch movie.I'm not the guy who likes romantic movies, but mixture of drama, comedy and romance here is just brilliant, it makes you feel those crush feelings from when you were a teenager again. Characters are so simple, yet very interesting, Josh Peck/Ben Kingsley/Olivia Thirlby trio really did magnificent job. I liked the soundtrack.Advice: It's an easy dinner, make yourself a good and quiet atmosphere when you are watching it.

Honestly, this movie is not that bad. If I'm being honest with myself, there are some specific moments in this movie that I will never forget-- ever. The soundtrack was amazing and it just created this intense atmosphere of nostalgia-- I will never forget it; it kind of even hurts to know I finished the movie. They did such a wonderful job with the music and how they set up the scenes. And the editing, or the cinematography was amazing, just so hazy that you never truly take it in until the scenes are finished.However, casting was a little weird-- Josh Peck and Method Man's exaggerated Jamaican character, almost like a caricature. I was totally uncomfortable with Peck, mostly in the beginning because by the end you're just so used to his tacky New York accent that you just don't care anymore. Furthermore, this movie felt like it was really missing something. I left the movie feeling really disappointed-- yeah, the nostalgia was intense and the vibes were great, but where's that feeling that you get after a good movie? Where is that feeling of satisfaction? I felt like an entire scene was missing, but I just don't know what-- catharsis with his parents? Understanding about himself? I feel like we left and the characters had just merely began to grow? Also, there seems to be this giant hole that they throw the audience into. You feel insanely sad and disappointed when you watch this movie even to the end. There are moments where you're moving your feet very softly to "Summertime" and then there are moments where you just feel bad-- mostly bad. You mostly feel really bad when you watch this movie, Peck's character: Luke goes through some of the most saddest things. It's not so sad that it warrants the movie to be bad, but it's so sad that you feel like the movie never truly picks up. You feel down for him and Kingsley's character most of the time. And yet, you never really feel all that happy for them when it ends, because they're still messed and tortured souls. It sounds cheesy, but the ending, or maybe just the whole movie, was missing something. You feel like the characters learned what they needed to learn, but it had been done so...ambiguously. Have they truly learned about embracing "the wackness"? Have they truly learned about love? Have they? No, not really. Luke has yet to understand love, Dr. Squires has yet to learn about his deep seated problems. It seems like development was just cut too short or just not really all there. It was missing something; I think you'll understand when you watch it-- which you should, it's a nostalgic inducing film that promotes a good, but very, very, very subtle message underneath all of the ridiculous sex riddled scenes and sex riddled conversations.Just give it a watch and see if you agree.

This film is good, I was quickly engaged with the characters and amused at the directions the film moved in. I won't bang on about plot because you can find that anywhere. Great soundtrack that got me all nostalgic. It's set in '94 and I was the same age as the protagonist of the film so could relate to that time of life at that time. Ben Kingsley is, as ever, superb in this. This film is funny, thoughtful and well worth a watch so if you're trying to decide whether or not to invest a couple of hours of your life to it, you should. It's not going to blow your mind but you'll enjoy it. The rest of the cast are solid and well suited. I gave it an eight but 1 of those stars was earned for me by the relevance and nostalgia. Enjoy!

I like movies set in the past, and this didn't disappoint. Definitely my second favorite movie that does this, my first being Donnie Darko. I remember this music growing up and it felt like the 90's. Awesome. Loved how Josh Peck was the main character, it really kicks ass to see nickelodeon stars smokin. I wasn't expecting much from what I've seen of Drake and Josh, although I do check out Nickelodeon daily(spongebob), but he was actually believable and perfect for this role. So funny how he paid for therapy, and I loved when the therapist blew into that paper towel tube with the laundry sheet. Good times. Seriously a good watch though, especially if you grew up then and aren't one of those super happy people. lol
