bumping this two year-old thread because i saw this last week and it's really fun. there's a couple of weaknesses (i.e. i would have liked mikey, the strongest boy in town, to get fleshed out a little more; as the movie went on the nerd became less of a caricature but mikey could have used the same attention that the nerdy dude and donald gover's character got) but on the whole it was a really funny and charming endeavour. there's also a couple of like shockingly violent scenes but they manage to wring laughs out of them – the last violent thing isn't onscreen but it's pretty shocking, and they tie a freakin' callback into it!
anyways. get yr hands on this movie if you can.
