My Year of Dicks

I was in that group of people that was laughing when we all heard the name of this film. How could anyone take this title seriously?
Pam, at the age of 15, decides its tie to lose her virginity. She thinks that it will make her the grown up that she feels she should be. Over the course of 26 minutes, we see her attempts to try to accomplish this.
This did top my expectations. The animation is beautiful. It varies on animation styles throughout depending on what is going on in the story. The story is a lot deeper than I expected. The story is just about growing up. It really is about expectations vs reality. Everyone could identify with this story in some way. That is the sign of good writing. This does make me want to go the source material.
Moral of the story: Don't judge a book by its cover!
