    I saw an advance screening for this yesterday, and I had a fun time with it. As a comedy, almost all of the jokes land, and as someone with a sardonic and dark sense of humor, Woody Harrelson was the big highlight of the film for me. Every word he spoke left me howling with laughter. But it also works as a solid coming-of-age teen drama. Steinfeld was great and perfectly portrayed so many great emotions, and her conversations with the different characters throughout the movie were smart, well-written, and entertaining. The other actors did their parts well, but Steinfeld and Harrelson really hold the film up. Outside of that, the story's really good, the pacing was pretty smooth, and there are a couple of good emotional moments sprinkled in too. My grading scale puts it at a 3/5, but it could go up to a 3.5/5 after a rewatch, and I'd still definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fun dramedy.

     

    If we're talking box office, from what I could gather, the crowd seemed to have liked it judging by how hard many of the laughs were, and the people walking out and saying to their friends that they liked it shows that it could strike a decent chord with people and lead to some solid WOM. With its projected $10M opening, I can see it getting around $30-40M, which I'm sure STX would be super happy with.
