Cute and funny, nostalgic, crass, and heartwarming all at once
I couldn't decide how I felt about this movie in the beginning, but as I watched it grew on me more and more. At first it felt like it was trying hard to do what Clerks was very good at: dense dialog that was both sincere and theatrical. The characters seemed very formulaic: the nerdy kid after the hot girl, his even more dorky friend and the third musketeer who is the Joey-from-Friends type of wiseguy tough-guy cool-guy. But I ended up liking them all.
This movie has all this goopy feel-good nostalgic vibe, but it sprinkles lots of pretty decent laughs in it too. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.
