Totally Checkers

(SPOILERS) Read the book for an English class, great book. Watched the movie, and it was awful. The acting, the casting, the songs. Literally, they skip over every important part and it was too fast. How did they spend 2 hours, talking about nothing. Literally, they talk about racism and then remove one of the only Asian characters in the story Maya. She talks ONCE, and it was just "guys stopp." It doesn't help how they didn't make Starr's relationship with her family matter, they made them sound abusive and forgettable. Awful movie that was clearly made by people who wanted brownie points for "covering racism."

(Mega Spoilers) It does have a lot of plot holes, like how when there was a meteor shower and all of the cars were set on fire, suddenly the main character's car and fine? While like the entire scene, you can see that everything is on fire. Aswell, in the end it does straight up say "The world will face 10 feet tsunamis and then the world will be set on fire." But then in the end, birds just are there and are vibing. The movie is very charming and it's own way, I'll give it that. (There is a couple easter eggs of how the shop was robbed, everyone was just stealing toliet paper so a very 2020-2021 moment 10/10 very funny) It's not that scary, it's more of a "Oh no, the world is ending..But we got plot armor so, you know as the viewer we'll be fine." But hey, everyone likes something different. Overall pretty decent movie, just has some plot holes.

I personally love it! I enjoy how they added personal issues, and how funny and likable the characters are! I hope they make a season 2!
