Excellent, a Must See

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Honestly, this is one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's really difficult to describe what it's like watching this... On one hand, if they're just trying to have hyperbolic stereotypes and unrealistic high school scenarios as jokes, it's just unfunny and really cringy. On the other hand, if they're actually trying to make a sincere statement about high school culture... Man, that's even worse.There's that stereotype of a bunch of 50-year-old producers trying to make a relatable movie for a teen demographic and end up horribly misrepresenting how teenagers actually interact. The Fine Bros blow that trope out of the water. Somehow, despite regularly working with teenagers and creating a long-term presence on YouTube, they manage to produce such a disconnected message that it honestly feels dystopian.Honestly, the only thing that could have possibly made this worse is if Madelaine Petsch's character was played by Bella Thorne. So at least there's that...

This movie serves as a perfect learning lesson for the Fine brothers. HAVING A YOUTUBE CHANNEL DOES NOT MAKE YOU A LEGITIMATE FILMMAKER. The worst dialogue I ever witnessed. It was like they rehearsed once before filming, got one or two takes and moved on from there... I don't understand how they ended up with such an amateur performance for their final cut. I feel sorry for the poor editor who had to put this together on premier or final cut. This movie should be used as kindling for fires and nothing else. Good day

The movie is full of cliches and bullying from the start. I can understand if people think some of the jokes and played out stereotypes are trying to poke fun at high school, but the acting is horrible and it misses the mark. I started to wonder if the writer or actors actually believe prom is the "best night of your life", and that there is nothing beyond high school.I think this movie would be incredibly toxic to kids who are currently in high school and it is frustrating if you're out of it. The idea that bullying/revenge is okay ("make them feel how we did all of high school") when it comes from the underdog is a horrible idea to plant. The boy's father endorses this unrealistic way of helping everyone come down to earth and it doesn't. None of the student body really learns anything. Regardless, the whole movie encourages bullying. One particularly unrealistic detail to me was when a supporting character's actions result in him being arrested and put on the child sex-offender list for life, but he gets the girl so "it was totally worth it". That's not an appropriate mindset to encourage. Also, don't get me started on the father of the main character hitting on the girl.
The ending for the boy is somewhat hopeful, and I'm glad they did not make him give up his future for a girl. That is probably the only redeeming factor.

Oh, that was painful. I'm normally a fan of the Fine Bros, and I really dig their react shows. Unfortunately, thus was nowhere near that quality. The jokes fell flat, the characters were cardboard, the acting varies between elementary school level and puke-inducing, and there wasn't one thing that felt like actual high school material. The only redeemable parts were Danielle Campbell and Joe! Courtney's performances, although the ending was dizzying enough to make me hate that too. You'd be better off watching Batman and Robin again, or maybe pouring lemon juice into your eyes. Just.....don't watch this.
