13-year-old Stevie lives in Los Angeles with his mother and brother. He finds a new alternate family in a group of older boys, who initiate him to skateboarding, alcohol, drugs, and sex. Jonah Hill's directorial debut is set in 1996, when he would have been Stevie's age. This gritty coming-of-age story is a mostly plotless slice of life, but the characters are well-drawn and well-played by the young cast.
