Great little film for the under represented minorities in North America. Very likeable characters and a story with a lot of heart that everyone should be able to enjoy. We need more of these films written and directed by minorities. Like this one, they have all kinds of unique and interesting stories to tell.

Two stars is generous. This is a college project for a grade, I'm sure. No budget, one set, bad script, bad delivery, stark filming and editing, abrupt mood changes by the characters w/o justification, and did I forget my line again? I saw it before there were any reviews - hence the only reason I watched it. Then I couldn't review it. IMDB had no link.

Basically what the headline says. If you like quirky characters, coming of age high school focused stories, you'll probably like this one. Ignore the other review, there is nothing "anti white male" about this. Just don't expect "American Pie" frat-brats high fiving each other after lame puns.

I grew up in Toronto with friends from Scarborough. This film is so refreshing and relatable in that it doesn't rely on sex, drugs and alcohol to sell a teen film. The cast members have tons of chemistry and their characteristics reminded me of friends from long ago. I looked at the demographics of the low ratings and they were provided by males 45+...I'll let that fact sit here.

The film while suffering from a lack of budget is saved by the cast members chemistry. If you grew up in Toronto or its more diverse surrounding burrows the film should be relatable. Despite what some may say there is nothing anti white or antimale in film.
