Featured reviews
Good intentions, but I think it falls flat because of the genre confusion and cringy writing. My biggest let down was that, sadly, this movie doesn't walk the walk itself. It's filled with double standards. It talks about not judging women by their appearances, but then has a slo-mo shot of the "good guy" pulling up his shirt while skating, as the main female characters drool. It doesn't address how good guy Seth is also being portrayed as a hero, while litteraly just behaving like a normal human being. That would have been a great way to show how women have to be extraordinary in order to be noticed, but men are celebrated for being civil. A lot of the characters are extremely cliché and cringy and I agree that this movie doesn't really work outside of the US. As a European it's hard to connect with this genre - the mix between a serious topic and a light vibe doesn't feel like a success with this movie. I recommend that you watch "Unbelievable" instead.
Really enjoyed the film. Lots of good messages.
Nice to have teens growing up watching films like this, getting them to think and have discussions on important matters aswell as being a feel good film.

I think that this movie is going to wind people up. Which is hilarious because that is the whole point of the movie to get under peoples skin and make them think.
Most people that see this film and dislike it are going to do so because they see them selfs reflected in the people the movie is talking about.
I think that this movie will really be an empowering movie for teenage girls. Lots of films try to do this but i think that this movie succeeds where others don't because it doesn't pander to its audience. It was grounded for the most part.
Some characters did border on cartoony, which brings me to my biggest issue with the movie. The actor of Mitchell. He wasn't a very good actor anyway but the worst part was how old he looked. He is nearly 30 and i know that this happens in lots of shows and movie and probably he isn't the only one not playing his age in this movie. The issue is that he just stuck out like a sore thumb. Every time he was on screen i was like "Oh there is an adult man". It was just incredibly distracting. He was meant to be 16?
Another small issue i had was the back end to the second act and the beginning of the third. It seemed to lose its focus and fell off the tracks a little bit for me.
Thankfully it finds its way when it begins to wrap the movie up. I think the ending is really great, i do wish it wasn't over as abruptly. I think this could have been fixed by trimming the movie down and then just giving a few of them minutes to the end.
This movie was really good and i think that people should see it. I do however think that this movie is going to get a lot of hate and bad reviews because it is a feminist movie so make sure you watch it and support it.

Well acted, well directed, and was able to show true intersectional feminism in the many complicating forms that it deserves.
The soundtrack is killer and it covers so many topics at the surface level that may excite the audience to dig in deeper with some of these topics. Definitely a movie for now, and if you're interested in watching a movie that tackles these issues in a well produced, highly entertaining, and informative then I would highly recommend this one.

This movie was very eye opening. As a straight man we need to do better by the women in our society. Some of the reviews here are absolutely disgusting, and made by little men that think women's equality is a threat to them. They're afraid of no longer being able to mistreat women.
