Good Kids (Netflix)

    Good Kids is another fun little movie I found on Netflix last night.  It focuses around four friends who have just about finished their high school time and are days from going off and starting their college lives.  Instead of getting drunk and being stupid, they have been the good kids, never gotten in trouble, all four heading to great schools, but yet, they feel incomplete.  They decide they need to get the monkey off their back that no one has really invited them to any of the parties that kids have.
    One of the kids, works as a tennis instructor at the area country club.  Now that he is 18, some of the women decide he is good enough to take care of more than their backstroke.  He needs money to get his Indian girlfriend over here, while his friends are positive that he/she is catfishing the friend.  Their luck changes when Lion, the friend into Karate gets invited to a private party on an exclusive island.  They realize they too can have a good time partying.  They end up going to more and more parties almost going to far, but they get it back together.
    The tennis instructor gets found out by one of the husbands and he tells the other ones, so it looks bad for the one guy, but of course, this is a kid's movie.  I don't want to give the end away, but I thought the movie was cute and that there is a lesson to be learned.
    It is not all tests and volunteering, party a little, it will help you assimilate with strangers.  Apparently, everyone likes to party a bit, drink a beer, play beer games, and act the fool once in a while.  Without these skills, you will have a harder time fitting in.  I liked when the tennis guy had a 1 on  1 with the party guy.  The party guy said basically we never didn't invite you, y'all just exiled yourselves.  The parties were always open to anyone who wanted to come.  I don't know if that is true for any party, but I always felt this way.  If someone did not expressly invite me, then why would I show up and possibly disappoint some people who didn't want to see me.  Anyways, I enjoyed the movie.
