Honor Society

There is something special about this movie, although it doesn't have great comedy, romance, thrill and star-cast/budget to get a 7 from me but the story telling is so delightful that I couldnt resist. The character development and twist in the movie is delightful and surprising at the same time. I watched this movie because I really like Angourie from The Nice Guys. As mentioned in the other reviews she is really underrated compared to other Young/ teenage celebrities like Millie Bobby, Jenna Ortega etc.

Back to the film, it is very delightful tale of a young ambitious girl who is ambitious and driven yet has a heart of gold which you'll like if you are into that sort of emotional tale.

The story was decent. The ending was kinda surprising. There are some pretty funny jokes. Great casting. A good feature film debut for Gaten Matarazzo.

The tone is inconsistent but the performances from Angourie Rice and Gaten Matarazzo and style from director Oran Zegman make this an enjoyable, but singular watch.

Overall it is a very good movie, but ending feels rushed and generic.

Still script(loved Goodman since he wrote that Futurama episode) and Rice acting make it an enjoyable watch.

Not another teen movie with young adults playing high school students? Yes, but this one's a winner. It's clever, witty, engaging, has heart and is knocked out of the park by a star winning performance by Angourie Rice. I enjoyed how the tone shifted from Machiavellian to honesty and truth, though the counselor/student sub plot is a little creepy. Should appeal to all ages and I'm an old dude.
