A high school senior in San Antonio juggles his family life, his academic life, his two male friends, his female best friend and the girl he loves.

"Colossal Youth" (2018) is an Indie drama/romance focusing on the high school years in the mold of "Love Everlasting" (2016), albeit with the less-grim spirit of "The Breakfast Club." Being semi-autobiographical of the writer/director's experiences, it smacks of real-life and effectively depicts the good, the bad and the ugly of the high school years.

Fans of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Footloose" and "Clueless" should appreciate it, as long as they can roll with its $250,000 budget. While it's understandably not great like those three, I'd watch it any day over the overrated "The Breakfast Club."

The protagonist, Troy Osterberg, comes across as a taller Tom Cruise when he was young. Meanwhile Reece Everett Ryan is amusing as his best (male) friend of questionable character. Blonde Alexa Dowd stands out on the female front as Siobhan while brunette Kimmy Caruso ain't no slouch as Erica.

The movie runs 1 hour, 38 minutes, and was shot in San Antonio.

GRADE: B-

I loved this film SO MUCH. The cast is fantastic, and the film itself has a wonderful story line.

I have been waiting to see this film for many months/weeks and I finally did and I give this movie a 10/10 and 100% incredibly talented acting! I loved it so much it felt like I was back in high school. And the fact is that in almost every movie about high school students the main character realized that the person who loved him truly was right in front of him as what points out in the brief synopsis of this movie. I would highly recommend seeing this movie! Great job to everybody who had a share and acted!
