Alana Kane and Gary Valentine grow up, run around and fall in love in California's San Fernando Valley in the 1970s.
This is one of those movies that is definitely effected by so much advance hype from awards consideration and what not. It's a very enjoyable movie and you can absolutely feel like you are growing up with the characters in the 70s because of the very genuine overall feel. There are tons of laughs - especially Bradley Cooper's hilarious part. I just kind of felt myself thinking why did all the critics say this was so great all along and I feel like it took away from it a bit.
Regardless, I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It is a very enjoyable coming of age story with some really great characters.
