Predictable but pleasant, Cemetery Junction is a fun coming-of-age film following life in a working class suburb in the 70s. Wishing to lift himself out of a dead-end future sneered at by those he wishes to be his peers, the lead enters a new life with his old friends, with a romantic twist thrown in for good measure.
Probably not the most original film ever, but the cast is good, the plot is simple but interesting enough throughout, there are frequent breaks of levity, and satisfying arcs for all the main characters to make it an easy-to-watch, enjoyable film with a great soundtrack.
