Zoe H I don't mind the stylized, almost music-video vibe of the film, I think it's kind of fun and even appropriate for the subject matter (teen melodrama). What bugs me about this is that it gets *close* to real lessons or real stakes for the characters emotionally, but it backs off from direct consequences in a strange way. For example (spoilers) Millie flubs her first date with Billy by being a giant butt, and instead of apologizing for her bad behavior and maybe explaining that she took some bad advice because she was nervous, she... announces over the intercom that she pooped on the side of the road once and that her mom died. And that works, somehow. Similarly, Archie massively betrayed Millie by pretending to be the Love Doctor and instead of resolving that by talking it through with her directly, he... compares everyone in his class to stars and says he won't stand in her way again. And that also works. I know some people think this is satire but like, is this supposed to be part of the satire? Am I the one not getting it here? It feels like it would be a quick re-write to just have the characters actually acknowledge and learn from their mistakes instead of using public humiliation as some kind of sacrificial lamb-payment for those mistakes.

Me and my cousin decided to watch it and it was so damn cringy and weird. It's like they took inspo from Never Have I Ever and made it into a terrible British film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Tony D Awful. Looks beautiful, talented cast. Everybody trying too hard, with a truly deplorable script and plot. Just one cliché after another. And the constant breaking the fourth wall just doesn't work.

I love cheesy rom coms but the tropes and the way the best friend treats her, I can’t. Billy was a decent guy, I didn’t even want to watch to the end it was so garbage.

A silly rom.com. It was a very nice and enjoyable watch, it’s not supposed to be supper serious movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
