I have very few words to describe this movie besides special. The performances in this film are great especially from a select few. Steve Carrel is great and he plays a role that is unlike his others as you HATE his character more and more as the movie progresses.

Allison Janney is great as the main comic relief of the movie and her one liners hit hard. Though like the case always seems to be Sam Rockwell completely steals the show with his great performance as the guide for the main character through this tough time in his life.

The rest of the actors in the movie were also very good but these three stood out in particular. The writing and directing are so crisp and clear that I do not think this movie ever misses a beat. I not only liked this movie but I loved it, if you are looking for a very well done coming of age story with fantastic acting check this one out.
