He soon befriends a group of young skateboarders who hang out at a Motor Avenue skate shop, and as he experiences new things he also finds himself constantly dealing with his rough home life and the increasingly rough paths that his new friends are leading him down…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Jonah Hill makes his directorial debut with a very personal film that explores youthful rebellion in the 1990s and how rough it could be for a child growing up in that era.
