'Better Nate Than Ever' is a musical family comedy film. It is based on Tim Federle's award-winning novel of the same name, which was published over a decade earlier in 2013. The author's personal experience as a theatre child in a tiny town with Broadway fantasies inspired the work. Though the novel is commonly regarded as a tribute to theatre kids everywhere, the author has stated that the film is for everyone with big dreams, not just theatre kids. It's been described as a coming-of-age comedy with musical theatre and Broadway aspects.
