Everybody expected good things from this $6 million coming-of-age movie.

It is a poignant teenage coming-of-age movie, too.

Tell that to the thousands likely to be nostalgic for the coming-of-age movie they saw when they were young.

I was losing myself to the new middle youth devotees and was in danger of becoming a caricature from a cheesy coming-of-age movie.

But this 1980s-set coming-of-age movie is sharper, wittier and more satisfying than his previous movie.
