Clever, funny movie
15 April 2024
Shy, awkward teenager Nick Twisp meets the girl of his dreams while camping. There's a few problems though: they live far apart, her parents seem intent on hiding her away in a boarding school, her jock boyfriend. The challenges seem insurmountable.

Clever, funny movie. Looks like just another Michael Cera movie but the dialogue is very clever and original. Plot is reasonably fresh, though you could substitute just about every character Michael Cera has ever played for the lead character, and not see much difference.

This means that Michael Cera is perfect for the lead role, pretty much playing the same shy, geeky, desperate character he always plays. The supporting cast - Portia Doubleday, Steve Buscemi, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis, Fred Willard - are excellent.

Fun, entertaining, funny and sweet. Well worth a watch.
