Os Novatos

It's only IP sequels and reboots.. but this was original and actually pretty funny for what it is.. a netflix original. It's not often we see comedies push boundaries in these times like 'Superbad' or any other early '00's film. It pushed most boundaries where comedies don't do go anymore in some scenes which was surprising and actually got a laugh from me. The main four (who I thought were going to be annoying) were actually pretty funny, it felt more solid than 'Good boys' in my opinion. The story was generic but the side characters make up for the whole setting. Give it a watch on a weekend as a popcorn movie and not overthink it as a high rated comedy but a good laugh guaranteed.

It was an okay movie I was bored this morning so I started watching it. Fun and cringe and weird all at the same time great twist and turns not what I was expecting if they took the teacher out the party scenes my score of the movie would improve. Decent ending feels like an epsidode of a show. If they decide to make a sequel maybe the ending could work and the sequel could start at the beginning of the sophomore year , the ending would have been better if she had said yes and they walked off together, some parts were funny and cringe , less cursing would have made the movie a lot better. An advise to the directors next time if you are going to make a highschool movie get dialog/ input from actual highschoolers I like it but it felt forced.

This movie comes across as every 80s movie wrapped into one and not in a good way. If you grew up with the 80s movies or have made your way through them watching with your parents one evening when they were feeling nostalgic, you'll be able to pick out bits and pieces from every single one of them. Mesh them all together and you end up with this copy-cat. Nothing original and a less than exciting music score. On the other hand, it would make a great series for pre-teens and middle-schoolers who have yet to experience what high school is really like. Maybe Netflix was testing the water with this on. Go ahead. It'll probably be popular with Gen Alpha. Everybody likes to say they are like Gen X anyway.

I honestly enjoy movies like these it was just a funny and raunchy teen movie. But it is a movie to leave in the background to be honest. Casting was odd though because the irl age difference w the love interests is 17 and 21. It also seems like it was very unoriginal and with time we should move on to new things. Ykwim? It just seems like Superbad and project X mixed together or something, as a group we need to move on from movies that are about wanting to go to "big kid parties" and find something new to enjoy. I think that is also only because the new actors these days are just different. I can't explain it but they are diff.

We've seen this story play out multiple times , nerdy dude goes after this hot older girl and his friends have a whole other side quest. It really is just like Superbad, not another teen movie just not as good. The comedy honestly wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be , but the drama/heart was better then I was expecting.

There was some moments that made me laugh tho , mainly with the character named Ruby, but most of the jokes were just cringe and corny (like the diarrhea scenes, I just never found poop jokes funny tho). Outside of a few , like the teacher , the main character Benj, and Ruby the acting isn't that good . The actual party tho was kinda boring too

There's moments of this movie showing some heart that I really liked it's just their cut too short because of a joke , the chemistry is actually decent too .Like it felt believable that they were friends . Mason Thames (Benj) and Isabella Ferreira (Bailey) had the best chemistry out of everyone in this movie . I also do like how most of the characters actually look like high schoolers too , most movies like this will have some 20-30 year olds playing high schoolers and just to me usually takes me out of the scenes/movie a bit. Having them be played by actual teenagers is a nice touch there personally cause it's ofc believable their actual teenagers instead of 30 year old grown men

The first abt 40 minutes of the movie weren't good , but once the movie starts showing some heart it gets a lot better.
