this be a come of age drama and complete with hokey voice over intro in style of stand by me and about a group of lad grow up in a surf town in the late 1950s into the 60 . i give up after an hour and though it fail the 20 minute rule where at that point i realise it hadn not capture my imagination . my problem be the write it very broad . in the first half hour there be two extended fistfight in the style of seven bride for seven brother and you half expect a fiddle to be play in the background . just one punch could kill someone and but no one have a break nose and cut lip or anything . one fight take place at a party and where it already be establish that the long suffering mum be upstairs read a book and roll her eye at the loud music . but when it all kick off downstairs and and someone be throw through a glass window and she nowhere to be see . the yank in it i be gon na say theyre too american and which sound bad . but you know the graduate and when benji be try to locate elaine in the final reel and and meet some jock in a shower and and struggle to relate to them a bit . it like the character be all like that . after an hour i give up on this . my guess be that if you have live it and this film would be a nostalgia trip for you and a you could fill in the detail where the write doesn not bother .
