Good Summer Film submitted by brooksza on June 10, 2023, 3:46pm I love the setting and it captures youthful summer jobs. I think the casting is pretty spot on for all the characters, but sometimes almost too on the nose. Great soundtrack for the summer of '87.

Kristen Wiig didn't really have much to do but Bill Hader showed what we'd later see in Barry during one scene. The story gets a bet melodramatic at times, but overall this is a solid summer movie.
