Free!

Warning: Spoilers
Like Zerk said in the end, this movie makes me "free!"

I rewatch it often. It's pure comedy, and I watch it for mostly Gavin and his friends. All of them are nerds. Gavin, Hobie, Maynard, Sophie...These 4 stole my heart and I was left with none to give Zerk&Shirts. Yes, Shirts is funny sometimes. But I find Zerk to be overrated. I remember the first time I saw this movie. It was the theme park scene, which excluded Zerk. I took it up from there to watch. If I saw Zerk in that scene instead, I don't know maybe I wouldn't complete this movie and this one wouldn't be one of my life-long movies. Glad I could meet Gavin and his nerdy friends first. Why do I like Gavin so much? First, I'm totally against fantasy and this geeky fanboyism of his beats me every time. I'm like, "Okay, I might give fantasy a chance after all."

Shirts is a character that should hang out with Gavin instead of Zerk. Sophie is the humble heroine I expect from such comedies. She was fantastic when she was trying to speak while her mouth was shut. I don't know why this actress didn't continue to act. Shane and his gang were also funny. Shane is a big baby that has an annoying voice and soon Gavin uses his "constitutional right to knock him out" as advised by Zerk.

If you just hang out with Zerk for a while, you have the F. P.

The music was really fun. Especially Sophie's scores, Sophie & Gavin's love scores, Hobie vs Brutus scores should be published this instant. Original songs like "I Love Onions" and "The Idiots Are Taking Over" were so cleverly used throughout the movie. I sat by here, wishing to see Rachel Hurd-Wood as Gavin's partner instead, to a slight bit. Anyways, I wish this town was for real, I'd definitely go to pay a visit to Gavin and his friends. I always wish to have a town, full of naïve people like these. And that "naïve" even includes Shane, who got me dying because of laughter when they attacked Gavin. That was one of the most hilarious scenes in a movie I've seen in my whole life! After the "big fight", the kiss between the main couple was as sweet as it was weird, and it gave total Frog Prince vibes. I'm sure it's summer in Gavin's town, and they all made their dreams come true. I'll rewatch the movie for yet another time soon and revisit Gavin's friends. Definitely recommended movie.
