With his sarcastic attitude that revels Nadine's she finds a friend in him that helps to get through the weird few months ahead.
This is one of the classic coming of age stories that you see all of the time in the movies. It was not the greatest of them all and it's was not the best storytelling. However, it was funny and embarrassing at the same time. I think that the film was set up like a moody teenager. It did not make sense in some places and in others it was too bland. Through most of it I was just wanting to slap Nadine because it was overly moody through the whole thing. In others I could have totally fell asleep and felt like I didn't miss that much. I think that it's a movie that if you are in the mood to watch give it a chance but I would not go out of your way to see it.
