Completely brilliant, this film has changed my life and the way I view cinema. Pretty much I now know how to: Tell the same joke over and over and over and over, Have two shots one after the other be completely disconnected and ridiculously out of sync, Fly!, Meet girls, Beat up overweight preteen skateboarder bullies, Steal from trash cans, Insert a random fake band playing fake guitar and fake drums into a terrible independent film, Paddle across a whole lake, Swim, Make friends in a brand new town, and I even learned to act convincingly enough to be in the sequel!!!!
The only thing that I have to say that is not perfect about this film is that Ryans dog pretty much did a terrible job of acting like a stray, almost to the point of ruining the entire film. For this comment rating I omitted the sins the dog committed against the movie.
For the record, the best way to watch this movie is with the commentary ON. Without that you can sometimes miss the directors insights into the characters minds and lives which are both deep and profound. I love this movie. I strongly recommend buying it and immediately throwing away the reciept because once the movie is in your hands it is part of you forever. This is one to watch with friends.
