It's very rare I give a film a 10, but this was amazing. I saw it about a year ago and still remember how deep it felt. Skip is feeling depressed, so when he doesn't pass a test at school and the girl he likes turns him down, he forgets all the good things in his life, like his best friend who's a girl, his guy friends at school and his family. So he drives off a cliff. His friend, Ken, who's equally depressed takes his mind of his misery by volunteering at a children's hospital. Then one day a kid he was close to at the hospital dies. This is all too much for him that he was almost heading for the same fate as skip, until skips mom talks him down, and finally accepts her sons death was a suicide (having first been in utter denial).
