Brenda hates her body. Eddie hates his life. The two intertwine and then completely repel each other, as this teen dramedy takes each of them on a wild ride.
Okay. So, the writer shows promise in spurts throughout this very tonally uneven script. The first third of this feels like a teen, stoner, borderline coming of age comedy. Then, it takes a dark turn about 40 pages in where we find out that Brenda had sex with a 17 year old when she was 11. Then it turns to stoner movie again. And then Eddie's best friend gets killed -- which feels like a wet blanket being thrown over a light-hearted, teen comedy...
I loved how each character was well-thought out and near perfectly developed, and how I could relate to the two leads.
At times in the screenplay, it is very funny and relatable, and at other times in the screenplay it is very suspenseful and I was not sure what was going to happen next.
If this was going to be made into a real film, I would definitely go and pay money to see it.
