Honestly before watching this I knew absolutely nothing about it. I just picked it on Netflix because the plot looked interesting. It has a pretty cool cast of young and older faces which is good. This is the only film to date from writer/director Chris McCoy. So I am curious if this will be any good or if this director should have stayed unknown.
It's a pretty typical story filled with cliches from beginning to end. Mateo Arias reminded me of Alex Wolff from the teen movie Standoff. They had the same characteristics and their voices were similar. I don't quite see Zoey Deutch as beautiful or hot, but more so cute. So it's always odd when characters try to pass her off that way. It was interesting to see Nicholas Braun as the star of the show rather than just a friend of the main character. I liked the whole scenario with the tennis stuff though haha. A lot of the jokes were very bland and unmemorable. There was one thing that set it apart which gave it a little boost. The fact that they were never outcasts and made themselves reclusive was an interesting idea. Overall it was simple and didn't really want to expand itself to anything more interesting.
This could have been better given that the main cast are actually decent enough actors. The story line is not all that fresh, although it does have a few slight ideas to separate it from being too generic. I did like the characters here. Was this really a theater movie? I don't recall it ever being anywhere. Though it's understandable why as it's just average. There is much worse out there. It felt more like a direct to DVD or VOD type movie. Anyways I don't think I would recommend it, but there are far worse things out there.
