Edge of Seventeen

View Date: 10/16/09

This movie is a standard coming of age movie with a twist: the person finding out about themselves is a gay man. He starts to discover who he is while employed at his summer job, and the realization becomes clearer after the school year begins. He starts frequenting a friend's gay bar and engages in several sexual episodes with various people. His best friend, a female, is in love with him, but she doesn't outwardly accept his leaning. Things get especially bad when they attempt to be romantically involved, but of course it doesn't work out.

This movie, supposedly made in the late 1990s, had a distinct feel of the mid 1980s, which was when the story took place. Other than that, I thought it was really cheesy and not as good as the reviews I had read.

10 words or less: Don't understand the hype.
