This movie was directed by Limp Biskit front man, Fred Durst, so I went into this movie with low expectations, only to be pleasantly surprised. This coming-of-age film is a story that's been told before, but this time it's worth seeing again.
The film stars Jesse Eisenberg of "Adventureland" fame, but he was not the strongest actor in this ensemble piece. Jason Ritter as the hardscrabble "Mick" was engaging as young man with no hope right out of the gate. The volume of his anger at nearly everything is constantly simmering just under the surface of his cool exterior. Susan Sarandon's daughter, Eva Amurri also stars as the love interest in a rather messed-up love triangle.
Our whole family enjoyed this!
