“Pretty good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is really youu0026#39;re basic u0026quot;coming of ageu0026quot;, u0026quot;high school clique waru0026quot; movie. What makes it stand out is the cast. I just happen to recognize them from several different things, but theyu0026#39;re clearly acting over their weight class in this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEden Sher (u0026quot;The Middleu0026quot;) has the undaunted hyper-active peppy thing down to a science. It would be like watching happy puppy videos to just see her do her thing for hours on end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVictoria Justice (u0026quot;Victoriousu0026quot;) has a big enough personality to match Edenu0026#39;s enthusiasm and enough control to make her character grow into it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAshley Rickards (u0026quot;Awkwardu0026quot;) oddly shows her talent by being a narrowly closeted character and the proverbial u0026quot;straight manu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeyton List (u0026quot;Jessie / Bunku0026#39;du0026quot;) has a subtle role, but Iu0026#39;m just happy to see her not playing an idiot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlong with all the other supporting roles, the cast really knocks it out of the park with their delivery.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would have liked it to be a little u0026quot;moreu0026quot;, the potential is there, I just donu0026#39;t know what could have made a high school story like this u0026quot;greatu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSolidly good watch though, if youu0026#39;re okay subjecting yourself to u0026quot;high school dramau0026quot;, then you should enjoy this.”
