      Audience Member Lots of teen drama in this movie, which could be inevitably done better as far as storytelling is concerned. On the other hand, the sweet and emotional performance of our protagonist is still worth watching. My rating: 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review andy h This is one of the most underrated movies in history. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member terrible. musically bad, unrealistic, the messages are cliched and all wrong. For girls: suck up to guys and lie to your dad. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review ben z Lots of teen drama in this movie, which could be inevitably done better as far as storytelling is concerned. On the other hand, the sweet and emotional performance of our protagonist is still worth watching. My rating: 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Anna T There are a lot of critics, but I think this movie is a great way to present the topic of grief, even if the general audience is younger. It may be cliche at times and the writing isn't always the best. But it still tackles an important topic and makes you feel the emotions the family / Terry are feeling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/19 Full Review Audience Member Duff shines, but everything else is so cliche and forgettable it feels like a waste of time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
