La reine du bal

Well, you know exactly what to expect when you sit down to watch a movie such as the 2011 "Teen Spirit" from director Gil Junger. And the movie delivers exactly what you would expect, for better or worse.

While "Teen Spirit" definitely is watchable and pseudo-enjoyable, it suffered from being so generic that you could leave the movie for a prolonged period and come back to have missed out on nothing important to the storyline that you couldn't already think yourself to.

The acting in "Teen Spirit" was good, but again, keep in mind that the characters are generic. But this being a typical teen comedy, you know what you are getting from the actors and actresses involved in the project.

"Teen Spirit" didn't really manage to stand out and make itself memorable. In fact, it was a very bland movie experience, to be honest. Hence, my rating of five out of ten stars. While the movie is watchable when you sit through it, it is hardly a movie that you will remember after a day or two. Nor is it likely that it will be a movie that you will watch a second time around.

Of course I am not in the target audience of being a late teen, but still I watch movies like this, as I enjoy movies. So of course, there are movies that will be a swing and a miss for me. "Teen Spirit" was watchable for me, for sure, but it is not a movie that left any lasting impression on me. It came and went without making a mark.

Cliché but enjoyable. Teen Spirit has some good acting and an interesting plot but it's definitely not amazing. Lindsey Shaw is the best actress in the whole film as she deals with each scene thrown at her. The story would have great if they built on it more. Honestly, every time I watch this I forget it instantly. So it won't be worth remembering anyway. Overall, it's alright.

It's cliche and it's ABC Family, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen when it comes to this kind of telefilm.

I felt like watching a high school comedy, but it's hard to even try enjoying this film.

Teen Spirit is like Mean Girls meets ghosts, which seems so ridiculous it could be something good. There is a lot of potential in the story. With the right writers it could be hilarious. Well, they failed. The whole film just makes you cringe. It has every bad cliché trope in the book and eventually everything deep feels fake. This is the kind of high school movie 8-year-olds like, but anyone else probably just feels annoyed.

I for one want to forget I ever saw this movie. Sure, there were few feel-good moments (that's why I'm giving this movie a 2 instead of 1), but apart from that 6 % of the film everything feels forced and just... horrible.

Teen Spirit is a 2011 TV movie directed by 10 Things I Hate About You helm Gil Junger. It tells the story of a popular girl named Amber(Cassie Scenbro) who dies after getting electrocuted during her prom and is send to the aftermath where she must choose between heaven or hell. She of course helps a shy nerdy girl named Lisa(Lindsey Shaw) to become more popular and confident. Will Lisa become the new Amber?
