Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It earned strong reviews (85% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Sits nicely alongside Donnie Darko.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, tense.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 16 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Dash and his best friend Assaf are preparing for another year at Tides High School muckraking on behalf of their widely-distributed but little-read school newspaper, edited by their friend Verti. But just when a blossoming relationship between Assaf and Verti threatens to destroy the boys' friendship, Dash learns of a cover-up by the administration that puts the entire student body in danger.
