I'm with Ban on this one; I can't recall it too well. My recollection is that it's far too unrealistic to work as any sort of actual coming-of-age drama, and every attempt at it was cringeworthy. The comedy segments tended to be decent, I guess? I can't remember them, but that's the impression I'm getting.
On the other hand, it had Woody Harrelson. And he is perfect. Just absolutely perfect. I just want a whole movie about him dealing with entitled little jerks that the audience wants to murder (you know, like our protagonist). Harrelson saved this movie by sheer force of awesome.

Not good, but not horrible.
Main character was a twat, though.

Seems to get better on every rewatch. Nadine's character has so much going on and Steinfeld's beautifully woven performance brings the most out of a pretty difficult role. Lovely, lovely film.

Bad. Try-hard. Waste of talent.

Liked it quite a lot. Generally a fan of tragicomedy if they find a fine mix and this is one did. Sometimes the characters get a bit annoying, but it gets a deep look and a good and ambivalent turn on the main character.

Very predictable (I could tell the sisters friend and brother were gonna bang when we first seen them having lunch). While saying that, I loved the fuck out of this movie. The characters were great, the dialogue was awesome, the acting was great, etc. One of my favourite movies of 2016 for sure.
