    Big Time fun and drama

    Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

    This is a surprisingly touching "coming of age" story. I'm not a big fan of Pete Davidson, but he does what he does well enough.

    I could imagine many people relating to this in several different ways, and what's more is that it feels timeless. Yes, they have cellphones in this, but I could imagine a greaser version of this where he comes by instead of calling, as opposed to calling instead of texting.

    The presentation is subtle and near perfect, everyone plays there roles very well.

    Its subtle again, but the writing is well nuanced. It really captures the essence of someone who got a broad future, but gets tunnel vision based on his "childish" wants.

    There is a lot of depth here if that's what you're looking for, but the minimal version of this is still a good movie.

    Really good young generation type movie

    Pete Davidson is so cool in this and Griffin Cluck is pretty solid! I love most movies about young folks for some reason always have, this one is kinda like a big brother except best friend buddy comedy. I really enjoy Pete he's great all around! Big Time Adolescence is mostly about hanging out, partying and relationships which isn't for everyone but it's an awesome movie. Not much needs to be said of this, I'm surprised this has a 6.9 better than you'd think for a party type. It has a lot of heart and is well filmed that's a big bonus. The main dad in this sounds almost like Pete which is kinda weird, anyway would recommend to some great all around.

    Pete Davidson Debut

    Great coming of age comedy with a stand out performance from Pete Davidson. He's great in the role of Zeke (or basically himself) & Griffin Gluck is good in the straight role.

    its full of great efforts

    This is not a traditional comedy, nor is it a blackcomedy either, its somwehere inbetween.... its a description of a young mans life and speedway to adulthood, the immaturity told in a mature manner, and the acting by the main cast is just darn good. its not full of action, just a lifesaver to all youth at the brink, and all young parents looking for signs so that they can make their traps and eventually punish their loved ones for their bad moves.

    the rather immature grumpy old man found this very heartwarming, ive experienced some of the things myself, so its a good choice for everyone above age of 12. its a recommend

    Does this movie do anything special? No. Does this movie do anything never done before? No. I love it though. This is a truly depressing coming of age story. It depicts the reality of how bad the mistakes you make as a kid can actually end up being. Griffin Gluck and Pete Davidson give heartfelt and heartbreaking performances. This movie is a darker Superbad and a better Mid90s. This movie really shows why I love Pete Davidson. This movie does things that have been done before, but does it in a way that personally resonates with me more than most other coming of age movies.

      Mo: This one?

      Zeke: Yeah.

      Mo: Yeah it sorta just looks like a bunch of scribbles and dicks.
