This is a innocuous little tale of growing up and coming out. The teen characters do a pretty credible job of carrying off their roles, but the two parents seem thin at points. The story in general is thin - not much to hang onto except in some of the exchanges between our two young men who are the primary characters.
Just needed more "umph", more depth of story. Things resolve well enough, but I'm not sure I gained anything in the watching... I will look for other work by this director. I suspect the book was better reading than the movie was watching. And as I said in the summary this is an older story, and some slack should be cut for that as well...
