A little bit different from the usual coming-of-age movies in that this is less formulaic and lacks the typical Hollywood ending. For that, it is an uplifting story about the 3 aimless “slackers” who stumble around trying to navigate out of the turbulences encountered in thier lives. In their own atypical ways, they find some comfort in each other's flawed friendship and succeed in carving some semblances of meaningful resolutions that promise cautious optimism and happier endings for each of their situations. Robert Pattinson turns in a good day's work in this gig. Lovely change from his future brooding vampire.
