Big Time Adolescence

• Comedy
• Drama

A sharply observed comedy-drama unfolds as a perpetually adolescent college dropout inserts himself into the life of his high school best friend, offering guidance that’s equal parts endearing and disastrous. Beyond typical coming-of-age tropes, the film centers on a uniquely fractured mentorship – not of ambition or achievement, but of arrested development and the anxieties of lost potential. The humor derives from the uncomfortable truths of a man-child refusing to relinquish his youthful freedom, paralleled by a father’s increasingly desperate attempts to reclaim a paternal role. This isn’t a story of rebellion, but of stagnation and the bittersweet realization that some bonds are built on shared avoidance of responsibility, creating a surprisingly tender, if awkward, portrait of male vulnerability and the messy realities of growing up – or not.
