Staten Island Summer

2/18/2018

Superbad Lite. This film is not trying to break new ground, it is what it is, a teen sex comedy where a bunch of friends plan a party so they can get some. All the clichés are there, the dorky but smart best friends, the quirky parents, the stoner party animal, the tomboy who is really a softy, the greasy Italian, the unobtainable love interest and the mean boss trying to ruin everyone's fun. What this film lacks in originality it makes up with in charm. It's not really that funny, but enough of the characters are engaging for you to want to finish the film. It won't set your world on fire, but you might get a few laughs. 6/10 but probably deserves a 5.5/10
