“I was excited to watch this movie, Netflix has been making decent rom-coms lately and this plot had a teenage-catcher plot that no one canu0026#39;t deny. The movie starts good, the characters are great, but I want to focus on Sierra: u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey didnu0026#39;t give her qualities for you to make you feel connected to that character. Iu0026#39;m not talking about popularity, Iu0026#39;m talking about quirks, things they like to do that make her look interesting. Yeah, she is a cute nerd, she is a kind girl (most part of the movie) but apart from that, whatu0026#39;s her catch? What makes her special? Does she like to spend her weekend reading? Give me something. They didnu0026#39;t even give her insecurities importance, only mentioned once.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey mention -emphasis on the mention- she likes to sing but during the movie she only does once. She sings a beautiful song, at the last 10 minutes of the movie… Thank you. It still wasnu0026#39;t enough to make you feel connected with her after what she did to her friend in the movie. (Iu0026#39;m trying not to spoil here) and, after what she did, the conflict was solved in like, 30 seconds. Wtf. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHer character is boring. Her relationship with Jamey is boring and not believable at all. Wow, they connected sending each otheru0026#39;s pictures of animals. How romantic -sarcasm alert- and to wrap it all, she end up being a jerk, and for me, only jerks are losers. So yes, Sierra is indeed a loser.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, letu0026#39;s get to the other characters. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked Jameyu0026#39;s character and Danu0026#39;s, they are well portrayed. Thumbs up. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut last but not least, Veronica. She steals the sentimental catch. She ends up being the character with more sentimental appeal. When she takes her bad-girl-mask she is actually a better person than Sierra.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the middle of the movie I thought Veronica was going to end up with Jamey instead because there was more chemistry between them than with Sierra. Veronica was too kind to Sierra, really. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, I wouldnu0026#39;t watch the movie again, a good idea with an average/bad team behind it. A recommendation to Netflix, a good script changes with a decent director is everything, every word counts.”
