Sidelined: The QB and Me

I didn't expect a wattpad movie to be this decent. I have been disappointed by modern romcoms and their cringy acting, but this film was far from it. Both leads acted well and there was true chemistry between them. The story was believable and even navigated grief and loss in a sensitive and insightful way.

I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack choices to the point where I would pause the movie just to google the songs. Of course it's still a wattpad romcom so don't go expecting the most powerful and unpredictable plot. But compared to the sloppiness of modern romcoms, this one was a great watch.

What a cute Wattpad adaptation. I couldn't stop giggling, smiling, and kicking my feet like a middle schooler having a crush for the first time in her life.

The storyline is good. The acting is not so bad.

Noah Beck's acting is surprisingly decent and he was pretty damn charming to watch.

Noah & Siena's characters are so cute together.

Siena and her brother's dynamic is interesting and fun to watch.

Besides the obvious love story, one of my favorite things about this movie is DREW RAY TANNER. I had never seen him in any other movies or TV shows except for Riverdale, but he was one of my favorite characters in that weird show.

This film was a bit cliché and predictable.

The lead guy and girl are really good actors but the plot and storyline is a bit overdone.

And the characters are very likeable and have good personalities.

It's not mind blowing and life changing, but i can't say that i didn't enjoy it.

But a part of it that is good is that this movie feels relatable in a way. The high school setting, drama, sports, friendships, it all just makes it easy to connect with.

While this film isn't exactly ground breaking, i would give it a watch if you're just looking for something casual and not too thought provoking.

There are a few cliches and stereotypes to be found throughout "Sidelined: The QB and Me". If you're at all familiar with football movies, I'm sure you know which ones I'm talking about.

Said stereotypes and cliches don't take away from the film, which is nothing too spectacular but also not awful, despite what some of the reviews here might tell you.

It even features James Van Der Beek at the main character's pushy father, which doesn't seem right because he was just playing a QB in "Varsity Blues" a few years ago...right?

Siena Agudong as Dallas and Noah Beck as Drayton Lahey were fine. Their chemistry developed over the course of the movie. They had their cheesy romantic moments, of course, which were well-delivered. Never heard of either of them before.

Ultimately, "Sidelined: The QB and Me" is a decent enough sports romance movie. It's not "Any Given Sunday", but it's an easy watch, and good entertainment.

It was exactly what I expected, storyline-wise. But I didn't expect the depth or chemistry between the cast. I put off watching it for a bit because I thought why watch another teenaged romcom when once you've seen one, you've seen them all, but I was caught up in the storyline faster than expected.

There are plenty of moments of swoonworthy lines and scenes. The dialogue felt relatable and comfortable in delivery, which I was certain was going to be the downfall.

Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it predictable? 100%. Does it follow the same recipe of every other movie in its genre? Definitely. But is it worth the watch? Absolutely!
