> all characters lose their personalities they didn't though. > zero character development the development wasn't in changing the kids as much as getting to learn about them. you find out the prototypical nerd wanted to off himself due to perfectionist parents. the jock's dad abuses him. the weird girl is neglected. they learn about each other's stories, but the movie makes it clear that things probably will just go back to the usual for them the next day, and that's realistic.
