It's about some emotion teen that can't have no fun also super edgy. Beginning of this movie some kid and a step dad are talking and step dad said how do you r8 yourself, teen "idk" step dad "you a 4" then that kid is like you so mean bleap you. Then everyones like poor, poor kid then the kid gets his way... I usually like every movie I see but this is 1/10 Billion F-... I deeply hate this movie and I ain't a hater but never ever watch dis movie, plz never pay for this

This movie is a gem. While the storyline is nothing new (boy in his teens struggling to find his place and connect with the world around him), the writing and acting performances are quite memorable. Sam Rockwell knocks it out of the park - don't make the mistake of passing this one up!

I loved this movie! It was like Little Miss Sunshine: Part 2. It was about a dysfunctional family and their summer vacation. The teen boy is struggling to find his niche and his soon-to-be step father antagonizes him and is generally a douche the whole movie. It's a little hard to watch at some points, but it airs on the side of comedy. One of the best movies all year.
