This may be an unpopular opinion, but this movie does not hold up.

The acting amongst the core four is average at best. Most of the dialogue is forced and not organic. The best thing about this movie is the soundtrack.

Agree on the acting, Wil Wheaton is the weak link in this movie, super nice guy, but his delivery is pretty off the entire movie.


Disagree on the does not hold up, it's still a great movie that does hold up.

Wil Wheaton being the worst part of a show he's in? Perish the thought.

Believe it or not, I have interviewed Wil and he said, "Tom Cruise is not a good actor"

Compared to Wil he is Marlon Brando.

I get why people like that line. But it never resonated with me, because I made lifelong best friends in college, not when I was a kid. I never talk to friends I had at twelve.

I'm still in touch with more friends I had at twelve than I did in college, and it's not even close.

I keep up with several from hs and college.
Some of my college friends regret going to A&M because they think it's too conservative.
I try to keep away from politics with friends and family.
Losing friends over politics is one of the dumbest things.

This sentiment used to be true. Not anymore.

Those conversations were exactly like the ones we had when we were 12 " Superman is real" and " What the hell is Goofy?!"

Yeah, but so what, everybody's weird.

My best friends from middle school (there was 4 of us just like the movie) are still my best friends to this day (maybe 35 years of friendship), and the friends I've meet in college have slowly faded over time. I had a coworker that I grew very close to, he was a great friend and also like a second father to me, but he passed a few years back. I think our friendship was the closes that I had to the friendships I had as a 12 year old.

My wife is the same, her best friends are all girls she grew up and they still meet every summer for a girls trip.
