Ma Meilleure Rivale

This is not a chick flick. This is a seriously witty, flirty, sexy observation of teenage years. The chemistry between Marks and Liberato actually sizzles off screen and makes your toes tingle. I could 100% imagine these two as a couple. It's down to nothing other than fabulous acting. I put it on to watch Liberato who I've not seen for some time, and ended up a big fan of the film and the 2 leads. Beautifully done film

April and nick had a pretty long term thing, for high school kids! But that ended. And now another girl is dating nick. April thinks she's going to hate her, but they actually become friends. Although it's killing april, knowing that clara is banging the delicious nick. With whom she still seems to be in lust, or love. Or something. She does tell us that nick was her first! Lots of millenial cell phone stuff, googling, lots of vaping. Girl talk, guy talk. Teen angst. Which relationships will survive? The girls' friendship? Or nick and....who ? Graduation day is sometimes so....final. Directed by benjamin kasulke. He's won a bunch of film fest awards. Apparently this was really someone's life experience. Probably happens pretty frequently, actually! Cute, simple film, nothing too serious.

Interesting, unique, refreshing and funny. Would recommend.

I have to start by saying that Banana Split feels unoriginal and like something I've seen many times before. I'm not all that interested in teen dramas in the first place, so they have to do something truly special to stand out for me. This one is a mildly entertaining retread of relationship dramas that get pumped out by movie studios every year, probably in an effort to appeal to the teenage demographic. There was one aspect of the film that I truly enjoyed, though, and that was the friendship between the two girls. There's something so charming and playful about their relationship, and it is so seldom that we get to see movies which simply focus on friends being friends. I was so enamored with this part of the film that it was a big letdown when the boy returned to the story and it all devolved into the same old love triangle nonsense that is played out in countless teen movies. The actresses did a good job in Banana Split, and I liked the way these two diverse personalities found a common ground that united them. I wouldn't be annoyed if I were to re-watch Banana Split, and I'm sure some people might enjoy it a lot, but it's not a movie that I will seek out ever again.

It took a while to get a release for this movie and after watching it I was surprised because I did't expect that much. It is a fun movie. It asks a simple but interesting question. Can the girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend of the same guy be friends? Of course it about more than that. It is a coming of age story. It is about friendship, the value of honesty the fear of growing up and all that good stuff.

Is it predictable, yes it is. But this is not "Inception" so there is nothing wrong with having a plot where things play out like they usually do in order get the message across.

It has two falws. II never believe the relationship of Hannah Marks and Dylan Sprouse. They have no chemistry together so they either hated each other on set or loved each other which often makes for bad chemistry. Sprouse actually is actually the weak link of the four "friends".

For me those two are the only flaws and they don't matter that much because it is mostly about Hannah Marks and Liana Liberato. And their chemistry is great. I believe their friendship and they make this movie fun to watch.
