CGiii Comment

These teenagers...all who look as if they are on the cusp of middle age (okay that is a slight exaggeration)...but, they don't look like teens.

A rather unconvincing, painful effort of a film.

The(ir) Blurb...

Teenage years include such joys as bullies, conforming, and raging hormones. For Jeremy, the escape to all this is in his imagination, where he fantasizes conversations with his crush, Sean. But when he loses control of something completely in his mind, he also realizes what he should do.
