Pete Davidson was great
First and foremost, this is a breakout performance from #PeteDavidson . Honest, subtle, deeply funny and surprisingly moving. If you ever had a friend that was good trouble, his portrayal of Zeke will hit you were you live. #BigTimeAdolescence pic.twitter.com/EyA5cI1oVu

And then there’s @machinegunkelly
Fantastic comedic timing and some surprising character turns for Zeke’s friend Nick. And he makes it all look easy.
