I suppose I would think this movie was great if I were a teen in a small town in Ohio.
And then, you'd have to be a certain kind of teen in Ohio... one that could relate to the main characters in a genuine way.
I am from Ohio originally and grew up there in a small town. But I could not suspend my disbelief. All land is owned either privately or by some government entity. You can't just go build a ramshackle dwelling anywhere you please. We don't live in that kind of country. We live in a country where ownership is worshiped and capitalism is our altar.
Sad but true.
