Good Solid Movie, 22 August 2003
Author: Brikindewall-9 from San Mateo

One of the better films I have seen in the last ten years. A perfect amount of Comedy mixed in with just the right amount of Drama. The two leads do a great job in the movie and become instantly likeable. Everyone was cast well. Even Alec Baldwin shows up and does a good job as the main characters father. The story draws you in. One of the better coming of age movies ever. I definitely recommend this especially to guys.
