This story is a lot of fun. It shows four friends going through highs and lows. The two girls are really likable, and their friendship is very convincing. I find this film infectiously fun, and brings smiles on my face.
Banana split was a nice movie. It's mainly theme centres around the unexpected friendship of the two main characters, a theme that was actually well executed. The performances were good too, with a nice pace to the plot.
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.
In a - hopefully temporary - phase of ethusiasm for teen rom-comedies (about teens! not for teens...) I stumbled into this movie and I have to say it was really good: lighthearted, fresh and funny.
Yeah, nothing really original: a lot of the genre tropes are there... but still mostly done with competence, attention to detail and heart. Which is rare for the genre.
It's not a masterpiece but I don't see how anyone could be disappointed.
