Much Better Than Expected
This was sitting in my Netflix list to watch for about 6 months before I decided to use it for background noise while I watched the kid. I ended up liking it a bit too much and probably should have paid closer attention to the mess my kid was making. When I had to stop half way through, I couldn't wait to go back and finish it.

There is enough Hollywood clichés to the plot and character arcs to make it mildly predictable. But it is unique enough with the script and dialog to both be funny and entertaining. I liked the focus on the relationships of the characters and the breaking from the mold of the usual teen coming of age movies.

The acting was very solid, especially from Isis. The music was great, and I was shocked that Hollywood actually did a good job picking out solid metal songs. Then I learned one of heros (Tom Morello) was the music executive producer, which made it all makes sense.

It is not bad if you don't take it serious
It does have really terrible writing, ( but what can you expect from half of the dumb and dumber duo that destroyed GoT, DB Weiss ?) It's loaded with clichés and of course the usual non prescription glasses, but it also have a heart, the coolest cameo's in at least 20 years, and a killer soundtrack.
