Even though the movie itself isn't set in Athens the fact that it was filmed there was what drew me to the movie. With the great reviews that followed I got to check the movie out, and found it to be simple and a great depiction of characters growing up. It's something that adults and teens can watch, and it will feel real for both. The teen premise isn't just for teens. I also like the vibe that while the top layer reads as a romantic, strong depiction of teenagers, that it also has this underlying message that the teens still have a lot to learn about life at the end of the movie.
Summary: Sutter is a high school student who has no aspirations beyond high school, and he might not even care if that is where he ends up as long as he can. After a break up with his girlfriend, he lives it up in a night of partying and wakes up in a lawn to meet Aimee. Aimee might just be the girl who can change the direction he is going in. Aimee though has her own overbearing mom, and while Aimee might be helping tutor him through school he wants to help her stand up for herself and her decisions to move away.
