This was a pretty cool little time peice of 90s skateboarding and life. The soundtrack was what you would expect, some Wu Tang, Nirvana, Big L etc.. good enough acting from legit skaters. It’s shot really well too, some steez from a fish eye lense brings nostalgia. There some tough situations between family that made me really feel for Sunburn. I liked the message overall, little bro really did have the best and worst influences in his life to pick from between Ray and Fuckshit. I enjoyed the rift between sunburn and the other kid his age, he sells the realization of comparison being the thief of joy. The comedy was aiight there was some funny moments. I remember liking this better, but overall still solid.

"A lot of the time we feel like our lives are the worst, but if you looked in anyone else's closet, you wouldn't trade your shit for theirs. So let's go."

This movie captures that feeling of having older friends you look up to, even when they're not the best influence. Like you kinda know it's bad, but you still want to be like them. I also thought Stevie's friends were just toxic at first, but the second half shows their complexity and how they actually care about him."A lot of the time we feel like our lives are the worst, but if you looked in anyone else's closet, you wouldn't trade your shit for theirs.

I need to start off by saying I literally hate straight guys this age and this movie did not make that any better. It gave me a view into the “recruiting process” of a group of homophobic issued straight guys.

At first, I found it insufferable to watch because I can’t stand the shit they were saying and it made me so uncomfortable seeing the life of this child being sort of destroyed.

However, the more it went on, the better the emotional interactions got and the issues and reasons for their behavior of these guys were explored. I found myself understanding and relating to some characters even though a little more character exploration was needed.

I would’ve rated this higher, if I wasn’t so disgusted by the behavior of such teenagers in real life and how it’s sort of being displayed as cool in this movie.
I still enjoyed quite a lot of it, so it’s a decent good rating from me.
