Average watch, might watch again, and can't recommend.
This really should have been a great coming of age story similar to "American Pie", but it's mostly empty.
While there is great character connection amongst the cast, and the story is actually a great concept of a guy torn between worlds, but I honestly don't feel like it has a point other than proposing philosophical quandry.
Yes, there is some humor and decent production value, as well as plenty of multi-threading, however, I just didn't enjoy the movie much.
Hopefully someone else does enjoy this.
