If you're not familiar with this one, the trailer may sell you on it, but the clip of the duo recording their song "Watermelon" will definitely sell you.

Absolutely a fucking banger movie, a romcom for 90's punk rock scumbags who you never dream could be reached by a romcom.

FUCK THE REST OF THEM
FUCK 'EM ALL
FUCK 'EM ALL BUT US

I showed this to my punk/hipster teen and his similarly-minded friends and at least two of the three now have it as one of their favorite films on Letterboxd.
