Rating:  - Small film yields large pleasures
A perfectly put together film about love and growing up. Tully Jr sees love as an endless series of sexual trysts. He learns that there is way more to love than this.

The theme is bittersweet with a touch of hopefullness. Recommended.
Rating: - Great Movie
