Jack Kilmer makes a decent debut in this otherwise unimpressive coming-of-age film. Unfortunately, this film follows almost word-for-word many films before it. The few unique elements are quirky and fail to match the style and writing of the rest. And, this was based on a short story collection by James Franco. Enough said.
