There is an age old slogan within the Cinematic world, if the trailer is funny then the film will most definitely not be.
Prepare to meet the exception.
Yes the trailer is funny, but the film is even more so.
Three best friends, Max, Thor & Lucas, they do everything together. In the scheme of things they think that are moderately cool. Not total geeks but not ultra cool either. Soren is deemed to be the king of cool at school, and when he invites Max to a party he is having, Max asks if he can invite his two compadres. Soren agrees, and this goes down well, until the boys realise that they might have to actually kiss a girl. The thought of this instills total fear in them, as none have any understanding of what to do.
So given the situation, what would any curious 12 year old do??? Consult the internet, with hilarious results. The boys quest to be enlightened about how to kiss also ends up involving a drone and two pill obsessed older girls.
The premise is simple but it really works. It may sound daft but there is something very funny about seeing 12 year olds on screen cursing enough to make a marine blush. There are jokes a plenty, some of a very adult nature, literally, but it is a real laugh out loud comedy, making me wish I'd taken my inhaler.
The film does also look at friendship and that bond that ties us when we are younger. All three young leads are excellent, I have to confess only being aware of Jacob Tremblay but it is nice to see him in an adult comedy after a few forays into drama.
Loved it, and could easily watch it again........8 out of 10
