TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 1d How to Lose a Popularity Contest is a corny and cheesy film that’s watchable in the moment but ultimately forgettable. It isn’t bad, and there are a few mildly enjoyable moments, but it never becomes engaging enough to leave a lasting impression or warrant a rewatch. The film relies heavily on back-and-forth dialogue and exaggerated character moments, often trying too hard to make certain personalities stand out. Unfortunately, several casting choices feel off, which disrupts the flow of the story and makes it harder to stay immersed in what’s happening. The screenplay struggles with momentum. Key moments feel underdeveloped, while other scenes drag on longer than necessary. The pacing is uneven, causing the story to feel flat instead of connected, and there are times when the narrative feels either confusing or overstretched. As a result, the viewing experience can feel frustrating rather than fun. While it’s fine as a casual watch, it lacks charm, energy, and emotional payoff.

This movie doesn’t simply tell a story; it whispers to you, laughs with you, and then gently takes your hand and refuses to let go. Every scene sparkles with the ache of wanting to be seen, to be chosen, to matter, and somehow it makes those feelings feel beautiful instead of embarrassing. The humor flutters like a first crush, light and giddy, while the emotional moments land softly, the way a meaningful glance does across a crowded room.

Sara Waisglass is a great actress for this kind of romcom/young adult movie. She's funny and quirky and brings life to her character-- though the bad writing of the script and entire movie makes her character an *sshole and completely unlikable. Chase Hudson, on the other hand, is probably the most "F tier" choice that anybody could've chosen for the role. He ruins every single scene with his weak delivery of lines and shows absolutely no range at all. It's like he's not even playing a character. I don't hate tiktok casting but I also do have some bias against it as these roles in movies can easily be given to real young aspiring actors instead of privileged influencers. Sidelined wasn't amazing but it was so much more watchable and it was clear Noah Beck had significantly more coaching (or was just better).
