13-years-old Stevie is growing up in a financially and emotionally unstable family in the 1990s Los Angeles. He finds solace in skateboarding which leads him into a shop where he meets a new group of kids. With them, Stevie experiences a wild summer filled with cigarettes, alcohol and first signs of the inevitable puberty. Not only does Jonah Hill’s directorial debut succesfully bring the viewer back into the 1990s; it also reminds us what it's like to percieve the world through the eyes of a confused and innocent child.
