About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an easy, upbeat high school rom-com about popularity and fitting in, similar to Whatever It Takes or Drive Me Crazy; Not for you if you can’t stand cheesy, predictable teen-movie setups.
Pros: likable leads; a few funny moments; upbeat teen vibe | Cons: very predictable; heavy clichés; exaggerated stereotypes
