Nathan J. @NathanDirector Mar 15 Rating: 6.1/10 ⭐️ I expected a lighthearted coming-of-age flick, but it honestly felt like a massive commercial for arrogant rich kids behaving badly. What Worked: It looks super expensive, more like a luxury fashion shoot than a campus. Through my traditional lens, I appreciated the message that chasing worldly trophies isn't worth destroying friendships. The leads bring decent emotional weight to their eventual reconciliation, and the soundtrack is a major highlight. The Cuts: With so much superficial drama and messy love triangles, the middle part really dragged for me. The casual flirting, arrogance, and backstabbing were super off-putting, making it hard to find a strong moral center. The script is incredibly shallow, treating the campus like a rigged, toxic reality TV show rather than a place to find purpose. Verdict: A superficial teen drama that takes way too long to land a decent message about brotherhood. See more Calvin O @Caltus 12/11/2024 How fun was this movie, it really made up my day.

I didn't hate this movie and I honestly found it to be somewhat enjoyable and relatively heartfelt. The characters in the movie have strong personalities and are both likable and flawed. The main plot of the movie revolves around a competition and I honestly had a hard time figuring out who I was rooting for because both of the two main characters had done things I liked and disliked. That being said, the plot of this movie is completely ridiculous. It has one of those storylines that I definitely had to tell myself that I was watching a completely fictional movie in order to find enjoyment in it. The movie moves at a decent pace for the most part, excluding some portions in the middle where it starts to drag. Also, this movie tries too hard to connect with young people at times, to the point where it felt over the top and somewhat cringe-worthy at times. Despite the flaws this movie has, I honestly still thought it was enjoyable. It's not meant to be taken too seriously and once I accepted that I found it to be harmless fun with a good heart.
