yeah, it was a bit obnoxious and elitist, but i thought it was surprisingly genuine.

Not altogether able to evade its own trying-too-hard-ness, but enough true moments and sarcastic humour in this to make it immensely endearing. Agreed on the parents perhaps getting a bit too much screentime, though -- Wein's character in particular comes off becoming primarily defined through his mother and father, although maybe that's the point.
