Seen this type of film numerous times over the past 20 years. Story line is fairly basic.
Saying that the performers put in a decent effort and the guy rapping along with the story is a nice touch.
As long as it sends the message to kids growing up in impoverished areas and they latch into to it I can't say it's a bad film.
I also can't say it is that great.

... what could, should, should not and everything in between.
I've come across this film at a pivotal time in my life. The reason for watching is my love for Andy Samberg & Rashida Jones, from their performances in various films and series but mainly from my love of comedy; Brooklyn 99 and Parks & Recreation respectively.
The story isn't complicated nor is it profound. However for me at this exact moment in my fleeting existence it struck a tone. A tone of reflection.
This is not feel good film. Underneath the basic storyline and barely 2d character portrayals is a vast emotional journey of remorse, regret, happiness lost and a lasting message that life goes on with or without your blessing.
Samberg, Jones et al. cannot be criticised for their performances. Nor can I award great accolade. For me the message and the inspiration comes from the screen okay. You need to be at a certain cross road in your life to fully appreciate what this film has to offer.
I have found inspiration in it. Others I imagine may find it uneventful or 'boring'
It captures an emotion and a time almost all of us will go through in life. Bear that in mind.
