Based on the title and the plot, I expected this show to be a childish teen soap opera, and I avoided it for that reason. Then the trailer for season 2 came out and it was just so beautifully done, I found myself wanting to save the trailer itself as a beautiful piece of art. And when I caught myself wanting to call a movie trailer art, I figured maybe I should actually check out the show. The main plot of the show is ridiculous but it works in the context of a show truly based on growing up. That the characters act immature sometimes feels less obnoxious and more true to life. The show is actually REALLY well acted and well written. It has beautiful cinematography and a fantastic pop soundtrack. I'm sure the music cost this show a lot and I am glad they paid it. I swear to god one of the main characters of the show is nostalgia itself. It really makes you feel the vibe of your childhood summers. It just gives such a special feeling. It's that quality that raises the plot so much higher than it would've otherwise been. It has a natural realism to it.

Lucy Hale has become the modern queen of rom coms. She choses her projects well. You would expect that the small release nature of this movie would put it with the likes of other awful B-level Hallmark-esque rom coms, but this movie is actually pretty good! It would fight for its spot with the likes of Harry Met Sally. Mostly well-acted, well-written and hilarious in parts. I laughed more during this movie more than any other all year. One of the rare cases of the movie being better than its trailer. That being said, the couple is kind of toxic. The guy's yelling when he's upset is basically emotionally abuse. Plus, he puts her into an eviction situation which could have led to her being literally homeless with her dog, and yet she's the one who apologizes. Like what?? He's not just quirky and socially awkward, he's a walking red flag. The first half of the movie was much stronger, with the second half dissolving into bare bone paint by the numbers cliches with no subtlety. The dude had such basic musical skills and she was crying like she was looking at god x-x.

This movie has so many twists and hilarious cringe. I am awed by its intelligence as much as it makes me want to die from embarrassment. The main character presents herself as some suave call girl on her way to law school but is actually still very much a young adult having her parents pay for everything and without even her own bank account. Yet she gets involved in twisted shit, finding out the guy who pays her to “help her schooling” (ugh) is actually married with a new baby. She then childishly insults his wife, throwing her supreme kindness in her face, for no good reason but an inability to cope with the fact that she’s screwed her own self over and gotten herself into this garbage. Kill me. The main girl goes from bratty and troubled to unlikeable. Also how is she studying gender studies with that attitude? But I could relate so much to the claustrophobic judgement of those around you while you flounder to find what’s meaningful to you. I could relate to this bitch until she tried to sexually service the guy in the bathroom for some who fucking knows self destructive reason that wasn’t even mutually pleasurable. Like bitch, at a funeral? Chaos is entertaining, but that’s beyond. I liked the first half of the movie and thought it was original and well crafted. People acted like normal people in chaotic circumstances. But then it went off the rails and the main character became totally unlikeable, and for reasons never explained. A case of great set up and then not knowing what to do with it. Shame. The relationship between her and her ex girlfriend is also very poorly explained and seems to go from hot to cold purely on the whims of the writers. Creating emotionally charged situations in character relations and then just leaving them hanging also really annoys me. Idk why it seems to happen to me a lot that I’ll see a story going in a cool or promising direction and then it’ll go somewhere so much weaker and I’ll be like why? Just why? You had such a great buildup, come on.

This movie had the worst acting I’ve seen in a very long time. It was definitely not a good movie. That being said I could tell it was made with a lot of heart and I really appreciated getting to know more about gay history and culture. I would’ve turned it off otherwise. However, I think it’s a shame that this film feeds into gay male stereotypes. There have been several studies that found that the majority of gay men are actually not promiscuous and that it is a minority of gay men having all the sex. But this film makes it seem like being a gay male is almost synonymous with promiscuity and that monogamy is the exception, when the opposite is true. Just a weird quirk of a film meant to educate about LGBT culture.

Very meh. Pretty to look at but I found nothing to invest in in the story. Tom boy girl oppressed by society but period era. I'm all for the theme but it just didn't get me emotionally invested.
