CGiii Comment

Aaah puberty - that delightful subject.

The two teens annoy rather than delight. The girl is more irritable than IBS and the spotty boy is as depressing as a coma.

The directors/writers, obviously, have suffered from traumatic amnesia and acute directorial ineptness.

This bears no resemblance to adolescence - the bathroom scene, the animation, the gay masturbation et al...all ridiculously constructed scenes.

The overall message is that 'gay' is a passing, adolescent phase...

A vile and annoying film.
