If you want to experience a fifteen year old girls fantasy, this is it!! :)
For that it like it, kind of.
The acting is even pretty good, given that the writing is clumsy.
The only thing I can give for this movie is how entertaining it was. The story was interesting and the characters were alright. The love story, however, was pretty bad. Noah was a terrible main love interest for Elle. The way he tried to control her and many other things that just sent red flags that she ultimately ignored. The relationship between Lee and Elle was nice. They weren't too bad except for their insane amount of rules they wrote when they were six.
Overall, it's not bad.
Sexist and victim blaming. Not appropriate in this 'me too' culture.
Okay, so the movie is cheesy, the dialogue is cheesy, the entire plot is incredibly cliche. The entire football team going "OOH" when she sassed Noah, I mean really?? I could get past all that if the relationship between the two main characters was believable. I know that they're dating in real life and it really shocks me because me and my friends that watched this all thought there was barely any chemistry. I feel like they should've actually developed the relationship more instead of showing cheesy montages. It felt like they dated for five seconds before they were in love. Also, I'd just like to say that the notion that Noah could get into Harvard is downwright absured and just plain laughable. Harvard is extremely selective and don't just look at your grades, they look at everything. In the movie he is constantly getting into fights and he skips school. There is no freaking way he could have ever gotten into Harvard. I just couldn't get past how ridiculous that was, I know it was in the book, but it's just plain stupid. This movie could've been cute but the acting was ridiculous and the plot was entirely unbelievable.
This story has been done time after time. Forced acting. Horrible attempt to match Elle (Joey King) with Noah (Jacob Elordi). There is NO chemistry between these two. Totally unrealistic. Prom scene is almost a rip off of Pretty in Pink. Maybe with a different lead actress this would have been a much better movie. Nothing new here to watch, keep on moving.
