After all, the world is full of rites of passage that probably don’t have real any cinematic value. There is a reason that we don’t see many films about getting your driver’s license (though, there are a few there) or a first haircut, getting to vote or the day you get your braces off?

Daniel Tosh Daniel Tosh is Not Completely Serious by Jay S. Jacobs “I don’t have a girlfriend in every city in the country,” Daniel Tosh explains. But some people think: why shouldn’t he? He’s young. He’s single. He’s a hip and happening stand-up comedian.
