REVIEW
With time taken to develop the principal characters we get to see them more as people than simply actors going through the motions. Without any over dramatic scenes the relationships begin to unfold, although sometimes with a bit of a “stretch” to make it believable. The acting is fine and some of the dialog pretty sharp.
CLASSIFICATION
for language, brief teen drug, alcohol use and for some sexuality. This is not justified; a PG rating would be more appropriate.
