Review of Just Peck (2011) by Mike C — 25 Apr 2012

Excellent movie. I was surprised when I saw it was a comedy, though, since I only chuckled maybe twice throughout. The story and characters (notably Peck and Emily) were developed extremely well. But what stood out to me the most was the dialogue--being a teenager myself, this movie probably comes closer to replicating actual high school than anything else I've seen. It was surprising, actually: everything from the relationships to the subject matter of the conversations was pretty much true to real life. The darkness in this movie was perfect--just enough to elicit a response but not enough to get depressing.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this movie--that is, if you don't mind language.
