So. I agree with the 1 stars. And I also agree with the 5 stars. This was a very poorly scripted movie. I had to start and go back several times before I actually gave it a chance because the beginning is so confusing and bad that I literally was like NO. But it had redeeming qualities. It had a nice Adam Sandler u see Timmy at the end…. The cameo by Sara Michelle Gellar Prince was nice. The characters fashion costumes setting was beautiful. It had amazing music and once I got past the beginning held my interest and had several twists — perhaps too many twists? It was solid awesome satirical like clueless, legally blonde, and mean girls — HS at its best like Breakfast club, pretty in pink, some kind of wonderful, sixteen candles, Ferris butlers … and yet it wasn’t nearly as good not even close as any of those movies. It just fell short. Unfortunately. Something large was missing. What? Ill let you decide. Watch it if you have a couple hours of your life to waste. Its good to know about the weird cultural stereotypes that the world is caught up in now… and take from it what you want from your perspective at this point in your life right this moment. Netflix please do better. This wasn’t that good. You can do better. That said. My favorite part of the movie was SMGP headmaster at the end where she says that you only 17 once and its the most magical time in your life …. I think regardless of our political or social leanings we can all agree on that sage point. So whether you love woke or hate woke embrace the good amazing parts from this (like revenge is STUPID and cool is relative) — observe and acknowledge the parts that fell short and move on, because today is a gift that is why they call it the present. Why are we always always always at each others throats? Ahhh to be 17 again. Wait. I think there’s a movie called that…..
