What a gigantic crapfest!
Here are some reasons the movie suck:
1) Not every teenager gives each other high fives and fist bumps after every lame joke they tell.
2) This guy has no clue how to write anything resembling how younger people talk.
3) The main character likes Murder She Wrote and Matlock. Oh, I get it 2 shows from the 80's that appealed to older audiences. How genius! Get it,because he's a kid! Wow!
4) The acting was overall pretty bad. Yeah, Cuba and the main kid were fine, but they could have pulled some better actors off of the streets and they would have done a better job than those gang of hoodlums who were terrorizing him.
5) The go cart race. Not only is this stupid plot lined cliched, but they were moving about 2 MPH, and he was probably a minute behind when his wheel fell off and his poor start.
6) The motel revenge. Yes, a high school boy wouldn't know that he was having sex with a 60 year old woman and not a high school girl.
7) Trying to be quirky and interestingly independent and failing miserably, strippers who wear dresses when they dance, letting the kid hang out in the strip bar, wasting talented people, Evil coach, bad toilet humor, bad writing, etc. etc. etc....
Possibly the worst film of all time. Yes, yes I think it is.
