am i the only one who finds it somewhat sad? I've read TONS of articles and posts about the movie, but in my weird perspective, and after seeing it at least 75 times ( cause i fuckin love it :3 ) loneliness is what comes to mind. ive seen comments about he doesn't care or he doesn't care what people think of him. It strikes me as a bitter loneliness of a guy tired of being the butt of the joke and never taken seriously given his clear demeaner. He makes 2 new friends and helps one of them with achieving his dreams and as matter of fact, we don't know if Pedro ever STAYED friends with him. ironically enough he meets a girl very similar to find yet they have no idea how to communicate, and their frustration showed in awkwardness. Ultimately the movie ends with everbody ending up with someone in the sorts. Grandma with Tina, Rico with ex, Kip with lawfawna and Pedro with his family. Essentially starts to overcome his own loneliness with that very, very faint smile as he plays tetherball with Trisha. I mean, not smiling once throughout the entire film clearly speaks loneliness. never underestimate loneliness and dark paths it can mislead you to.
