You can feel its aspirations. But it doesn't get there. Why?
Trust me I've seen all the coming of age movies, and I love the genre. American Graffiti. Dazed and Confused. Inside Daisy Clover. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The Trouble with Angels. And so on.
Many in this genre are episodic in nature and that's OK. There's something that holds it together though. And this one is just TOO loose. I really wanted to love the characters but it's so loose that I never found a reason to. And I grew up in a beach town too.
Great soundtrack. I love Maria McKee.
