About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a clean, upbeat teen musical about friendship, romance, and moving on, especially if you liked Camp Rock or The Cheetah Girls; Not for you if you dislike cheesy sentimentality or frequent song-and-dance breaks.

Pros: catchy songs; big dance numbers; nostalgic senior-year emotions | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven character focus; some scenes drag
