Featured reviews
Back to the film, it is very delightful tale of a young ambitious girl who is ambitious and driven yet has a heart of gold which you'll like if you are into that sort of emotional tale.
Yes, you've seen the "popular kid befriends nerd to manipulate them for the benefit of the popular kid only to experience a change of heart" movie before.
But you've never seen it done like this.
Angourie Rice - a criminally underutilized and under-appreciated actress - gets to shine in this role. The breaking of the 4th wall to talk directly to the audience throughout the film and keep the viewer on the "inside" of Honor's less than honorable plan is a fun twist and great storytelling mechanism.
The big twist at the end was also unexpected - I mean, you know SOMETHING was coming but I don't think many saw that coming.
Is this an award winning, groundbreaking film?
No - but it takes a tried and true formula of coming of age/romcom movies we have seen for decades - and comes at it from a different angle, with a slightly different outcome than we've seen before. Most people will laugh/smile/tear up throughout.
The result is an enjoyable 97 minutes.
Still script(loved Goodman since he wrote that Futurama episode) and Rice acting make it an enjoyable watch.
