The
new coming-of-age flick
too perfect may center around a
group of boys, but that doesn’t mean girls can’t relate!
The
film follows 14-year-old Elijah Stevens who seems to have the perfect life.
He’s always spending time with his core groups of friends: Jake, Antonio,
Skylar, and Mateo. And he even snagged the girl of his dreams, Ashley. The
problem? Elijah’s BFF Jake is Ashley’s step-brother! But their bantering is
nothing Elijah can’t handle, and their unique relationship supplies plenty of
entertaining moments.
Soon,
Elijah starts dealing with the typical high school obstacles, including a gang
of bullies who just can’t learn to walk away, and fast-spreading gossip that
just might ruin his relationship with Ashley.
As
if that weren’t enough, he struggles with the heart-breaking info that his
parents are getting a divorce. Being the family-oriented son he is, he takes
the news hard and starts reflecting back to the beloved summers he and his fam
spent in Hawaii.
But
Elijah’s not the only one whose “perfect” life seems to be quickly falling
apart. Jake is concerned with his dog’s health, Skylar’s mom is suffering from
cancer, Antonio’s family is moving soon, and Mateo’s divorced mom is
remarrying. With all of these changes going on, the boys are thrown into lives
of overwhelming uncertainty.
Tackling
the difficulties of growing up and dealing with whatever life throws your way, too perfect expresses the true power
that lies within friendships, proving that, with a friend by your side, there
is nothing you can’t get through!
