Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A smart film about priorities and connections. An honestly performed and lovely story that reminded me of high school stress, and the kinds of stress that were actually worth it. Bravo to all.

ESPECIALLY if you competed at the State or National level like these kids.

I enjoyed the flip on a high school students' story where they actually studied hard. It was interesting and quite charming. I genuinely laughed and cried. It felt a lot like an indie movie and I honestly couldn't guess what was happening next.

I am not a huge consumer of teen romance movies, so I only really turned this movie on because it was there, but this movie sucked me in from the beginning. Pros: I was rooting for the characters very early on, and I was rooting for them as a couple pretty much the whole time. I found them believable, and I found their conflict made sense. The humor is down to earth and not predictable. Uzo Aduba and Christina Hendricks both did a fantastic job with really layered characters, and I loved their plotline with their respective kids and with one another. Cons: Most of the problem is in the last act, but I will attempt not to spoil. The story wants us to root for characters who say some unkind things about the protagonists (and who don't really interact with them). The last part of the story feels like it relies on us not knowing how debate works (I don't) and finding it a little weird.It seems like the movie tries to sell us on the point that making arguments with "feelings" (I think someone actually says "feelings over facts") is better than evidence, which is an odd point for the movie to want to make anyway, but it feels kind of deceptive since we never properly hear an argument given using evidence (because of the whole talking quickly thing). Ultimately, this plotline feels forced and has no real bearing on anything else. Overall, though, this was a really enjoyable movie.Watch if you're in the mood for a rom com with genuinely good characters. Skip if you're a fan of debate, or if you don't want to watch a movie that doesn't quite know what it's trying to say.
