The Exploding Boy

I guess you need to consider the fact that this is an indie movie when rating it. Cause the directing and the acting is so high school project like. Like everything could use some improvements. That being said, the story itself isn't bad. In the right hands, this movie can indeed be funnier and wittier. It's a classic coming of age tale for awkward teenagers with problems at home. Just add gayness to the formula, voila! There's nothing new that can be called memorable, though. Boy meets boy, boys falling for each other, boys with hormones running amok. That kind of stuff. There's no sex scenes, though. In case you're wondering.
