Overview

As a fan of Albert Camus and Jean-Luc Godard, teenage Nick Twisp is definitely out of his element when his mother and her boyfriend move the family to a trailer park. When a pretty neighbor named Sheeni plays records by French crooners, it's love at first sight for frustrated and inexperienced Nick. Learning that she is dating someone, Nick launches a hilarious quest to find his way into Sheeni's heart -- and bed.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delightfully awkward coming-of-age comedy that finds humor in teenage pretension and fumbling first love. Nick's earnest, misguided attempts to win over the object of his affection are both cringey and endearing, driven by a split-personality gimmick that lets the film play its absurdity for laughs while keeping his longing sincere.
