I watched this solo the first time and thought it was fine. I'm now rewatching with friends and can better see nuances to the story that give it additional depth. I also didn't fully appreciate the bromance between the ML and 2nd ML the first time through.

The casting and acting is superb. While the FL, ML, and 2nd ML are too pretty for reality, the supporting cast shine in embracing their normality (with their quirks turned up to 11).

The cinematography matches well with the vibrancy of color that evoke the emotion of drinking in the warmth of the small costal town and its people.
