I kept waiting for the coming-of-age drama to trump me with some unexpected virtue of title character Adam, a teenaged dope who beds a conquest by pretending not to be a cis male, but no, to the end Adam remains a repugnant catfisher, a rapist by deception and character who detracts greatly from this, what?, comedy's commendable efforts to represent gender fluidity on screen, and what's worse, Adam is given an unlikely reprieve in the end that leaves a taste in your mouth even worse than that left by his dumb campaign of lies.
