Nat Faxon and Jim Rash have made a cute little coming of age film with a really great cast. Fun to see Steve Carell play a real asshole for a change, he does it well. Liam James is a very convincing mopey awkward teenager. Sam Rockwell is his usual cool self.

There are some very funny parts, many of which involve Allison Janney. And of course the obligatory dramatic beats are all hit too which make is feel well rounded. Very enjoyable if not a little formulaic.
