When he puts his social status on the line, avoiding his popular friends for dates with artsy Hannah Bailey, he strains to maintain his reputation while discovering a new side of himself.
This was a pretty good idea for a documentary. I can only imagine how different being a teenager is in today's world and this documentary sought out to show that to us. It did a really good job for the first half of the movie. You started to identify with these kids lines of thought and pulling for them to accomplish their goals. Unfortunately, the movie started to tailspin and feed in to showing the waaa waaa drama too much and it started to feel more like an episode of 90210 than a documentary. It was pretty disappointing after starting off pretty strong.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to rent this movie. You can go ahead and wait for cable I think.
