"But you're way cooler!"
"This is true."
Naive teenager Monroe idolises his older sister's ex-boyfriend, 20s slacker Zeke, and it is their journey as unexpected best friends that the film interestingly follows. The difference in age and lifestyles of these two 'best friends' makes for an unusual mix, and both are played winningly by Griffin Gluck and Pete Davidson as Monroe starts to grow up and follow his buddy into criminal activity and the consequences it wreaks on his friendship and his own life. More than a standard coming-of-age movie, this is sharply, humoprously and sensitively written and directed by Jason Orley, and it does not shy away from the power of friendship and the harsher side of low-life criminality.
