I would just like to point out that the person who wrote the comment above me gave the main character three names throughout his post: Justin, Jason, and Jacob, when in actuality Justin is the one and only name of the main character. Elsewhere, the film itself was entertaining enough and I found myself engaged in the story from start to finish. The pace seemed slow, and I could have used more laughs, which is possible while still being serious. A type of dry humor I feel they were desperately trying to reach throughout this film but fell narrowly short of. While unique in its own right, you can't help but think it is just like all those other coming-of-age tales that started sprouting up so prevalently in the late 90's. See this movie for yourself...and than you write a review.
