You can call this 34 year old man a 15 year old teenager but...

I loved this freaking movie! I don't think there has been a young romance movie like this in a while. This movie has an atmosphere to it. It's half young romance/half coming of age. This movie never popped up for me until the sequel came out. After reading a synopsis, I didn't have high expectations.

When watching it though, those 100 minutes flew by. Ok... Ok... Ok... there are a few parts that are a little predictable but I found myself not being able to guess what was going to happen throughout. Even towards the end... I wasn't sure which way it was going to go.

There are a few shows out there(I'm looking at you Euphoria) that make me thankful that my teenage years were from 1998-2004. With all the societal and cultural changes that have happened over the last 16 years, that's even more the case. The enemy ex-girlfriend though... please tell me those mean girls still don't exist! There's something about those first-love feelings though. While I wouldn't ever want to go back to my young relationships, you can't help but remember those feelings. It's funny... you get that feeling and you never want to let it go. You think you'll never find it again but the truth is, you will find it again and it'll be bigger and better. Ok, enough of this sap... this movie made me feel all kinds of ways.

If I can close this blurb out with one thing; If any of you tweens and teenagers out there ever feel like an outcast or you're afraid that you don't fit in... seriously, don't worry. Get through your school years and enter adulthood. Once you enter college, after college, an all through your life... all of that stuff from your younger years don't even matter.

Great movie!
