the chemistry between all of the leads are great but it really doesn't do much for me.
i think everything is oke to good but characters like stevie's mom don't feel like actual characters. there is something the film tries to do with them but she never completes an arc or goes through one.
technically the 3rd acts car crash is like a literal crash of realization but is it? it also feels like some of the plotlines were cut short in favor of doing that.
there is allot more you could've gotten out of these characters but the film kinda does important stuf in the last 30 min and for the rest of the film its dicking around which is fun, it does show the abusive household stevie lives in.the film kinda? deconstructs the nostalgia of the 90s and sees it for what it actual is.
its interesting for sure but its also riddled with montages with license music which after the 3rd felt like they were there to pat out the runtime.
its definitly a fun film but i would've liked a lot more from it.
it has so much passion but there is also a lot that hinders itself.watch my films
