Although I grew up on the East coast, this film certainly feels authentic to the scene in the mid 90s. There were always the kids who went hard, some with no direction and others with a vision. I admire the realistic bonding and relationships between the main characters. Nothing was forced. I feel like I knew those boys and they’re going to turn out all right with a little help from each other. I’m very impressed with Jonah Hill’s insight and direction. Way to pull it off!
