I give it a 7.2/10
No wonder it won the "Dramatic Audience" Sundance award. And was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury award.
Every once in a blue moon a real gem comes out of a film festival. This is not just a Drama btw....it has great comedic value
Director Jonathan Levine knocked this one right out of the park....he's got a bright future ahead of him in film. Ben Kingsley turns in a solid performance. And Josh Peck really brought out the "vibe" of the early 90's in NYC.
I highly suggest you rent this dvd....it was great to watch alone & would probably be even better to share with a girlfriend/wife as well
