REVIEW
The movie title says it all: an episodic tale about a pre-teen boy having to cope with life. As would be expected of any movie with a target audience of this age group there is the requisite potty humour along with some slapstick and stupid gags. Most of it is amusing and entertaining enough. The underlining message, be yourself, is there but in a subtle manner.
For the most part the acting is pretty good particularly Gordon who really nails it. We’ll see more of this young fellow in years to come. Remember, you read it here first.
CLASSIFICATION
for some rude humor and language.
