WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Rights-of-passage tale of teenage boy, who sucks his thumb. He joins a debating team, lusts over fit chick, and mass debates a lot. Ho ho, we're good, we are.

ANY GOOD? Poignant and oddball. Like a modern Wonder Years directed by The Royal Tenenbaums peeps.

QUIRKY BITS: Keanu Reeve's hippy dentist making the kid's thumb taste of echinacea. We only remember this 'cos our thumbs taste of the nextdoor neighbour's cat's bum.

UM... We shouldn't have said that.
