Il est trop bien

As an adult I should not have watched this movie, to a young person it might have been tolerable and relevant. However, in my opinion it was painful. The acting was stiff and the actors had no chemistry. The storyline was expected, but some really laughable moments - prom dance off? Is that even a thing?

I am too ancient it seems to know who Addison Lee is but she's no Freddie PJ. This lack of context meant I thought the bizarre hyper unrealism of her acting was going to be revealed as a plot point. What a grave misconception to imagine this film had anything like so much substance. I won't spoil anything in case anyone is mad enough to be reading these reviews and still watch, but I am about to take a long hard look in the mirror for making it through this film without throwing up.

Oddly however this did pass the Kermode six laugh test for me, a one liner from an underused elderly relative woke me up and laughter of at least five times the duration emerged during the denouement. Not sure if that counts actually, please don't bother. As for the preposterous physique of the "loser" leading man and patronising nods towards diversity I have no words. Oh a kardashian pops up.

Matthew Lillard was better in the 10 minutes he was around then all the other "teens" through the rest of the movie.

I went into this with low expectations and was still disappointed. It was good if you wanted a braindead watch but the ending with the horse.... god so cringe.

The writing and acting were horrendous. The two original actors carried every scene they were in with the exception of the little sister.

This movie is so bad. TBH, it doesn't even feel like a movie, it's just like some type of a vlog or school project. The acting, especially Addison Rae's, is terrible. Everything else - extremely cringe and awkward. Zero chemistry, weird camera angles... Just watch anything else instead.

What was this movie? Didn't even make sense one bit. Terrible acting from Addison. The scene transitions, the angles, the story line, the gen Z infested bs & the random dance off lmao.. it was a hot mess!!! I was looking forward to this all week and it was a big let down. DO NOT WATCH.
