What's My Name Again?

About This Movie

So, 'What's My Name Again?' is a real trip back to '85, and it catches that Southern California vibe pretty well. The film dives deep into identity struggles, and you really feel the weight of this teen's decision about which of his three fathers' last names to choose. The pacing is kind of uneven at times, but it almost feels like a reflection of the chaotic transition from adolescence to adulthood. The performances are raw and genuine, especially from the lead—he really captures that confusion and pressure. There’s a nice mix of comedy and drama that keeps things engaging, and the practical effects they use in a few scenes have this nostalgic charm. It's definitely a unique take on family and self-discovery.
