A NOSTALGIC MOVIE FOR THE 90'S KIDS
If you spent your adulthood during the '90s, then this movie is for you. You will get nostalgia in every scene, from the snacks that you always buy in a convenience store to the popular video games that you always play, to the technology available like telephone and television. And if you are born later than the '90s like me, you will also enjoy the movie.The set design and costume are on point. It really feels like I am in that time. For the story, it doesn't cater to the new story but if you just want a feel-good movie, then this is it. The gender roles are also part of the movie which I understand because it is prevalent during that time. They show how the boys and girls were treated differently at that time.
Despite the difference in time of our adulthood, there are things that we share the same experiences. So it is definitely that you will relate. Their friendship which I relate to is awesome.
