GOOD KIDS

Cinemavixion Review

Chris McCoy's "Good Kids" is a coming-of-age comedy that attempts to capture the anxieties and aspirations of graduating seniors before they embark on their college journeys. The film follows Andy and his friends as they navigate the complexities of love, sex, and social expectations during a pivotal summer. While the premise offers fertile ground for humor and relatable situations, the execution, as indicated by a 33% score on Rotten Tomatoes, suggests a mixed reception. The narrative grapples with themes of missed opportunities and the desire to experience youthful exuberance, but it appears to fall short of delivering a consistently engaging or insightful experience. For viewers seeking a lighthearted, albeit flawed, exploration of adolescent awkwardness and the pursuit of connection, "Good Kids" might offer some moments of recognition, but it doesn't quite live up to its potential.
