Admittedly I was expecting a lot from this movie knowing the team that built it. The writing is a bit clunky and the storyline isn't too deep but nothing unexpected from a first film. That's not really a huge issue - (outside of the main character not knowing having an online relationship with someone in 2017 would count as cheating??) - the writing is fine.

The main issue is the entire movie is weirdly cis centered and leans into outdated stereotypes of gays and lesbians. Some of the language used is transphobic, the cast is mostly entirely white and they causally use the R word in a throw away line as an insult.

From a team that is generally (albeit not the most inclusive) good about having diversity in their cast and writing, this really fell short. Hopefully this is just a jumping off point and any other projects they work on in the future will be more self aware.

Because of the horrible review I read I really didn't expect much. So, I was surprised to find that this movie as really quite charming. The acting as not so horrible but if you're from L.A. it might have seemed mocking of the "valley girl" way of speech. However, many girls across the U.S. really do talk like that no thanks to 90210. It was a comedy. It didn't seem any more forced than many of the really bad comedies coming out of Hollywood these days with huge lead actors. It was a cute little movie.

This movie underwhelmed me. Not the worst but not very good / memorable either.
