The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
