Just got back from seeing this wonderful film.
It captures what its like to be in middle school damn near perfectly. Obviously, when most of us were there, cell phones and snapchat and all that jazz didn't exist, but if anything, this movie proves that as much things do change, things stay exactly the fucking same.
It's awkward, funny, scary, uncomfortable, and endearing all at once. Its in limited release, but holy hell if its playing anywhere near you, go see it.
It's currently at 98% on rotten tomatoes, and for damned good reason.
It's written and directed by Bo Burnham, who is a musical comedian - although none of that is present in this film - and started his career on the internet. He had a short lived TV show on MTV called Zach Stone is Gonna be Famous, which was also pretty amazing.
Anyway, the film is amazing, and there's one particular scene that I both groaned and laughed at simultaneously, and it involves Chicken McNuggets.
SEE IT.
