A summer love flick about music, drugs, sex, and learning how to deal. I found this movie to be really fun. It wasn't cheesy or goofy. It was heart-felt and realistic. I have heard people complain about Ben Kingsley, who I actually found enjoyable in this movie. I think he was a great choice to play the doctor. The end really is amazing as it deals with his first love and first heartbreak while making an unconventional friend who has to deal with his own issues. And what a soundtrack. Seriously underrated and tossed aside. Trust the cast and trust this reviewer, this movie is really good.

Josh Peck has proved that he can be in adult fims,than his rather kid tv shows.i loved this film.he finally get's to shine with his acting abilities.cause not only was this movie was amazing,but Peck and Ben Kingsley own this movie.they are great together.i can't think of anything bad about this movie.it was great in many ways,especially emotions and drama that these characters go through.Johnathan Levine is truly an amazing filmmaker with his crafted emotions and drama.check this film out.it's not some stupid "8 mile" kind of movie.this movies doesn't rely on violence.it relies on soemthing better, the characters and they're emotions.

Again the protean champ BEN KINGSLEY has done it again. Perfect character choices. What could be more wacky than for both the shrink and client to end up together in the same jail? What could be more wacky than a 70-year old KINGSLEY and a 24-year old OLSEN making out in a phone booth? What could be more wacky than a highly professional DR SQUIRES (KINGSLEY) helping SHAPIRO (JOSH PIECK) sell dope in broad daylight? Better yet, what could be more wacky than the patient eventually becoming shrink to counsel the wacky people in his life? Hilarious and contemplative. Good movie.

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I'm glad I finally saw it. Kingsley and Peck both do a great job and the characters are pretty interesting and fairly well developed. I think the movie did the period well (it was set in the summer of 1994) and dealt with the whole teen finding himself/teen angst without being too hokie. Not really much more to say here. I really liked the two main characters and it was a character piece.
