I agree that this film was ture to life and a good and accurate depiction of the youth of today. From the dialogue to the drug use, I feel that it is a true depiction. But, I do have a few faults that I feel made the movie slightly unbelievable, at least to me.
1. The main character Telly. I do not care if the girls were virgins, or 12, or 8 at that matter. In reality, no goofy nerdy kid with buck teeth is going to get chicks, let alone as many as he does in this movie. It would be like the nerd from the wonder years getting laid on a regular basis. Sorry, not feasible.
2. Some of the dialogue seemed forced, like the scenes with the guys in the apartment talking about sex....and the scenes with telling and casper trying to talk like "gansta's".
Even with these few exceptions, the movie hits home hard. This probably is the most true to life film about teenage life to date. I highly recommend this film. It will stick with you.
