Eric Stoltz (a longtime favorite in the indie circuit), does a great job here of making a would-be average run of the mill teen drama/comedy visually entertaining and subjective, and writer McIlvaine does a great job with the script, making it self-aware and comically cynical towards other cheesy entries of the same genre. With good acting, good writing and directing, and a great comedic performance by Petronijevic as Mouse, this is one the family can enjoy, and the parents might not even mind sitting through this one. It covers great issues for families to talk about openly, and it does so without all the language and cheap digs for humor. It also shows respect towards parents. It airs at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 8th.
