They pull pranks, they play in a band and they chase girls as they try to come to terms with the existential angst of the future. Director Donald Shebib (Goin’ Down the Road) and writer William Fruet (Funeral Home) give the kids in the film a real inner life without ever making them caricatures. These boys are pretty lame and immature, but they’re struggles are relatable and presented in a way that’s not only funny, but a little sad as well. Rip-Off was a before it’s time film. It tells the story of teens with a lot of heart.
