About This Movie

I Think I'm Going to Like it Here is an interesting entry in Chris Columbus's early career, shot while he was still at NYU. It captures that awkward yet exciting transition into college life, filled with a mix of comedy and some genuine heartfelt moments. The pacing feels real, almost like a documentary at times, which works great for the coming-of-age theme. You really sense that blend of innocence and naivety in the lead performance—it's quite relatable. The atmosphere is almost nostalgic, reflecting the late '70s and early '80s New York vibe. And it’s fascinating to see how Columbus's style was already emerging, even in this student film. Worth a look for those who appreciate early examples of a director's work.

Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2014.A snapshot of late '70s and early '80s NYC.Interesting for fans of early director works.
