So much average

best movie i've ever seen.

An Exercise In Nonsense

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Found this movie randomly on Netflix and it looked nice and colorful. Usually with school movies I'm skeptical because it's done so much before. However, I did like this because there was diversity in the casting. By diversity, I mean people of color! It is a good reminder for us to appreciate the people we already have in our life and try not to look for something better. The pace of this movie felt pretty fast, which was a good, there wasn't much "swimming" going on considering the main guy was a sports student getting possible recognition in swimming. Lastly, when there was a problem, it didn't exactly get worse cause usually there would be more bullying, but people acknowledged the wrongdoings and stopped themselves and chose to do the right thing. Which was very refreshing

First, I have to say this is the first time I've given a grade under 5 to a movie on IMDb. I'd give it even less than one star if I could. Why I did that? Because I'm sick of movies showing the same type of stereotypes presented in 90% of teenage movies:1. Stereotype no. 1: the pretty girl absolutely has to be mean. Like being mean is reserved only to pretty girls... At least they didn't make her blond and dumb anymore (usually she's that as well);2. Stereotype no. 2: the protagonist absolutely has to be this humble, plain, naive, good-hearted, boring, no-personality person who wants to help her society more than anything else. I guess I should be thankful she's wasn't a modern-day Virgin Mary (I know, that's blasphemous);3. Stereotype no. 3: the antagonist (namely the pretty, mean girl) loses. That always happens in movies like this one and, to be honest, by now it has become really boring. Not to mention that it's completely unimaginative.Even the lines are pretty much the same I've seen countless other similar movies.Movies like this one do nothing but harm, especially since it repeats the above described stereotypes over and over again.

SO I was worried about watching this because sometimes movies with a designated bad girl are very frustrating and infuriating, but this was great. I think it really did a good job representing the millennial generation. The main character was so adorable and so was her romantic counterpart, both were completely unproblematic individuals and it was fun to root for them. I liked how they didn't show the male characters as stereotypical douchebags like they usually do. Yes some things were kind of cliché and corny but thats inevitable with chick flicks, overall it was well executed. I gave it a 10 mainly because I felt the score it has now is really unfair. Really it probably should be a 9 because 10 should be saved for more life changing movies. Anyway I have never wrote a review before but I always read reviews before watching movies, this time I watched the movie first then checked out the reviews and saw it only had 5 stars. I thought, how unfair! I may have been kept from this wonderful movie if I had seen the reviews first. So I want to prevent that from happening to other people.

It's your regular over the top, run of the mill young people movie. It tries very hard to be Mean Girls 2017 edition, and it fails spectacularly.There is some warmth in it, but not enough to buy it. It's like a TV- movie about (cyber)bullying that also wants to be a comedy. The balance is off. The actors aren't bad, but also not fantastic. It was OK,fine - but that was all it was.
