Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Surviving graduation is just the first challenge for Bray, Oliver, and Stacey, three friends determined to make it to the Summerland Music Festival, no matter what it takes. Embarking on a road-trip in high spirits, there’s more than just music waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. Bray has plans to meet Shawn, a boy he met on an online dating site he’s convinced is questioning his sexuality. The problem? He’s been pretending to be Stacey, Oliver’s girlfriend, to get close to him.

    ★ 2/10

    This was quite a disappointment for me, this may not be a popular opinion with some, but I am very anti-drug use and this movie follows basically three drug addicts on a trip to a music festival with a lot of pointless stop offs and scenery shots. The ending mostly trails off and not one of these characters are portrayed as being intelligent at all.
