Can't imagine seeing this on a smaller screen. The IMAX experience made it even easier to enter Max's crazy, weird, awkward, loving, funny, depressing, scary, fun, confused world. Spike perfectly captured what it's like to be an adolescent boy.
An absolutely brutal film that allows you to catch your breath with well timed humor that seems to come at the exact moment you think you won't be able to make it any longer. Mo'Nique deserves an Oscar for her performance. I highly recommend seeing this in a smaller theater. The crowd I saw it with sapped some of the film's power with inappropriate responses at pivotal moments.
