Good Kids follows four overachieving high school students on Cape Cad the summer after graduation. Realising that they missed out on some key life experiences by always being 'Good Kids', they decide to reinvent themselves when the summer tourists come to town by partying for the first time in their lives. Stars Zoey Deutch and Nicholas Braun, this John Hughes-esque film isn't just booze and sex jokes - it's about a group of misfits growing up and ultimately apart as they move into the next stage of their lives.

Good Kids is yet another in a long line of generic American high school/college comedies that has nothing to surprise or even entertain with, which is a bit of a problem given the genre. Another problem is related to Nicholas Braun, who I found incredibly unlikeable – as his character Andy. The premise may have looked funny on paper, but the actual execution is rather lackluster.

An enjoyable teen comedy similar to American Pie. I expect from these movies only a portion of fun and a triple combo (party, drugs, sex) and I think Good Kids delivers in this respect. A story about four nerds who are graduating high school and want to experience their first and last high school party with some of that "relief". The main character has a decent run after the first notch and I was quite envious of his role as a tennis coach, not many people are really that lucky. Good choice for those who want to switch off and and nostalgically reminisce about the old days. 75%

Surprisingly not as underwhelming as I’d expected. I knew it would be simple and predictable, but I didn't expect I’d have so many laughs. I've seen Bad Moms and The DUFF in the last two days, and they were much worse. A decent average with Zoey Deutch as a bonus.

A pretty good teen comedy, which again is based on the classic premise of young people finally wanting to get laid. It's not much of a surprise that it's nerds again who have a series of interesting experiences ahead of them. Even though it's from the producers of American Pie, it is definitely not as good, but there are a few pretty good scenes.
