Pleasantly Surprised

Just saw the film and it was GREAT! This movie was not what I had expected. Initially, I thought it would have a poor storyline and bad acting, but it was neither. This storyline was not only great, but it had an excellent flow to it. I found myself laughing and in one scene, tearing up a little bit. Too bad there wasn't better promotional strategy, cause it should have done really well at the box office. Those kids could have visited high schools everyday and plastered posters up and down Crenshaw and La Brea to get more into the theaters. Also should have done a couple of promotions giving away free tickets. Better luck next time kids. The only negative thing I didn't like was the scene with the boys looking up the girl's skirts, while using a camera phone taped to a shoe. That ish was creepy and should have been edited out. And considering these girls were in high school, not cool at all. Anyway, I was impressed and my son is buying the dvd before Christmas to give out to a couple of his friends. He said it kinda reminded him of "The wood" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161100/. Oh and it was nice to see Mario and his kids sharing the screen. That was touching.
