Shy sensitive April (Emma Roberts) is the class virgin and frequent babysitter for her soccer coach Mr B. (James Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer) is an introspective artist whose best friend and sidekick Fred (Nat Wolff) is an unpredictable live wire with few filters or boundaries. While April negotiates a dangerous affair with Mr B. and Teddy performs community service for a DUI - secretly carrying a torch for April who may or may not share his affection - Fred seduces Emily (Zoe Levin) a promiscuous loner who seeks validation through sexual encounters. One high school party bleeds into another as April and Teddy finally acknowledge their mutual affection and Fred's escalating recklessness spirals into chaos. Adapted from James Franco's first collection of short stories Gia Coppola's startling film captures the loneliness and frustration of fragile adolescents left to flounder among real-world perils.

Another member of the Coppola family shows that talent is simply hereditary and presents us with the lives of young people in such a way that at times we feel quite hopeless, along with a weak sense of hope. Well shot, but the story itself just didn't grab me. Maybe a better twist, different turns, I don't know, something. Like this, it's good, but forgettable.
