Sierra Burgess é uma Loser

That is the real message of this movie. Absolutely terrible storyline, they want you to feel for the protagonist but in reality she's a terrible person.. seriously how is this trying to be spun in a positive light?

Everyone is acting all offended SJW about this movie in these reviews and don't remember how much people suck in high school. this movie is really accurate and just because the boy likes her in the end doesn't mean it promotes catfishing, the whole movie it's obvious how wrong it is and at the end both Sierra and Jamey talk about how terrible it was to do that. Most teen movies from previous generations are just as problematic, but hey guess what teenagers are pronlematic, nothing wrong with a story that shows how bad it is to lie and bully friends. the main theme of this movie is about not judging a book by its cover and so what it used catfishing as a story telling device? this is the same plot of cinderella story except hillary duff is hot and doesn't have to hide the way she looks because itll put the guy off. it was a perfectly good teen rom com.

I think this movie really has some problematic points and makes it a point to excuse some pretty dark behaviors. Like what I want to move this forward and down to a 6 after what I read on Twitter. This film is so tragic. Plus the movie was weird in the end anyway and the pacing was off.

I was excited to watch this movie, Netflix has been making decent rom-coms lately and this plot had a teenage-catcher plot that no one can't deny. The movie starts good, the characters are great, but I want to focus on Sierra:

They didn't give her qualities for you to make you feel connected to that character. I'm not talking about popularity, I'm talking about quirks, things they like to do that make her look interesting. Yeah, she is a cute nerd, she is a kind girl (most part of the movie) but apart from that, what's her catch? What makes her special? Does she like to spend her weekend reading? Give me something. They didn't even give her insecurities importance, only mentioned once.

They mention -emphasis on the mention- she likes to sing but during the movie she only does once. She sings a beautiful song, at the last 10 minutes of the movie... Thank you. It still wasn't enough to make you feel connected with her after what she did to her friend in the movie. (I'm trying not to spoil here) and, after what she did, the conflict was solved in like, 30 seconds. Wtf.

Her character is boring. Her relationship with Jamey is boring and not believable at all. Wow, they connected sending each other's pictures of animals. How romantic -sarcasm alert- and to wrap it all, she end up being a jerk, and for me, only jerks are losers. So yes, Sierra is indeed a loser.

Now, let's get to the other characters.

I liked Jamey's character and Dan's, they are well portrayed. Thumbs up.

But last but not least, Veronica. She steals the sentimental catch. She ends up being the character with more sentimental appeal. When she takes her bad-girl-mask she is actually a better person than Sierra.

In the middle of the movie I thought Veronica was going to end up with Jamey instead because there was more chemistry between them than with Sierra. Veronica was too kind to Sierra, really.

Overall, I wouldn't watch the movie again, a good idea with an average/bad team behind it. A recommendation to Netflix, a good script changes with a decent director is everything, every word counts.

Sierra is a total asshole... the hell is wrong with this stupid storyline man.
