This movie is not a comedy. There are some funny parts and the actors and actresses all play their characters perfectly, but it's not a comedy. This is more like a Lost in Translation or Garden State. It's a movie about people gathering after an event and the events that transpire during that time. As much as this is a Thomas Middleditch movie, Nick Kroll and Jenny Slate really steal the show. I think they may have the most dialogue in the movie with Brett Gelman coming in third. It's a really well written and well acted movie. It won't change your life, but it won't ruin it either. Take some time out to watch a movie about events and the people within them, even if the conclusion isn't what you thought it would be.

This movie was the 90's skate scene to a T. The music, a mix of punk, indie and hip hop, the clothes, baggy pants and 2XL tees, drugs, underage drinking, and of course street skating. If you were there, you know, if not you can experience a time that will never come back. Skating is not the outlaw thing you do to escape your sh!tty life anymore, it's city built skateparks and X games. That's why this film hits hard. Everyone who was around then had their crew and every crew had the jokester, the pro, the poor kid and the hanger-on who wasn't really good but a nice dude so you kept him. That's what Stevie is in this film and that's why you feel for him. Jonah Hill has made an authentic time capsule into the mid 90's that feels real and not forced.
