Après avoir été invités à leur première fête, Max, Thor et Lucas, 12 ans, paniquent complètement parce qu’ils ne savent pas comment embrasser. À la recherche de conseils, Max, flanqué de ses deux inséparables amis, décide d’utiliser le drone de son père – auquel il n’a évidemment pas le droit de toucher – pour espionner la voisine et son petit ami. Mais tout prend une très mauvaise tournure quand le drone est détruit. Désespérés de devoir le remplacer avant le retour du père de Max, les garçons sèchent les cours pour se lancer dans une véritable odyssée, ponctuée par des choix plus catastrophiques les uns que les autres, allant du vol accidentel de drogue, à une partie de paintball désastreuse au milieu d’une fratrie universitaire, tout en tentant d’échapper à la police et à de terrifiantes adolescentes.

This is this year's big hit and a clear Comedy of the Year! After all those teen comedies set in high school comes a tween comedy from elementary school and not only will it take you back 20 years nostalgically, but it will also make you laugh, smile, be touched and maybe even shed a tear at the end. Jacob Tremblay is a already big Hollywood star (13 decent films at 13 years old!). The film has a rather funny story featuring the first porn movie, the first kissing party and the first buying and selling of drugs (the scene in the drug den is one of the highlights). An unexpected hit that I will definitely come back to. 85%

As far as weaker moments go, this movie has quite a few, yet I’m still rating it relatively high. There might be a poor joke here and there, but it’s usually followed by an extremely hilarious one. I also had to appreciate that brainwashing at an early age does indeed produce results, and if the Americans keep this up, they will end up like the dodo because men are scared to even look at a woman, let alone touch her. The humor in this comedy is so unbalanced that I could give it a lower rating, but I did have a good laugh, and there was an important truth hidden in the ballast, and it made me think of a couple of childhood friends I hadn't seen for decades.
