Why does every main character in teen movies have to have a dead parent?!
My theory is that well realisticaly parents / family would play a more important role in the life of The teenage protagonist. But în movies like this I think parents are annoying for writers because they dont know what to do with them. The parents are not needed for the plot but they got to exist. Sso they kill one to make The job easier
Undercover Unicorn as someone with a dead parent, I completely agree that it’s annoying. Like, it irks me that these things are used as surface level plot points. It’s so common to see them in movies that everyone assumes that they know what kids who do lose a parent go through. I’d rather they either stop killing off one parent just to make it more interesting or they actually explore grief in the story a bit more.
Andreea B you said this perfectly
@@davie9944 fr istg they don't know anything about it. It's would be much better of they keep them alive and actually take their jobs seriously to make a good story.
It’s more realistic to have parents divorced and they just never see one parent. Because I had a few friends like that, but I’ve never had a friend have just one parent die
Why does every teenager in these movies want to go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or Duke? And how do they get in if they're average in literally every way? Just once, I'd like to see the protagonist go to a normal university, one they could realistically get into. They can't all be "gentlemen of Harvard" (I hope you read that in an Armie Hammer voice).
I did read it in Armie Hammer voice 😔
Dylan Rodrigues yup, notice how almost every single one mentions wanting to go mostly because their parents went too lol
I think Ladybird goes to a normal school in the city
I did, somehow without even realizing who's voice I was reading it in😂😂😂😂
Socail Network reference. Nice.
I hate the classic nerdy character protagonist , it's the "I can do literally everything" plus " I'm kinda clumsy and shy" played by an attractive actress/actor. I hate it
This. I also hate the nerd character that knows everything about everything, like Amy in B99 (love the show though). The most intelligent people irl actually don't go around scaring everyone with their trivia knowledge. Also the actual pros are specifically good at one or two things.
It’s so overused
Mimi Do same. very wattpad.
It’s lazy writing. They want to give their main characters flaws so they’re not perfect but giving them the clumsyness is just a cop out because they don’t want to give them flaws that could possibly make them unattractive to the viewers... I hate it
Yup

ikrr😭😭😭😭
@Sharon Mcgrew it got way too intense there😭
@Sharon Mcgrew basically..well..go see it for yourself: ruclips.net/video/k0Er6gb5Rxc/видео.html
it was the best part of the whole movie it was hilarious
‘Fuck your dream school I lied to get into my dream school help me’ is about the moral self awareness I expect from main characters in these kind of movies
It's on the same level as that one line, can't remember what movie particularly, but I know Danny Gonzales made a video on it...anyways, that paraphrased as "remember how you're a loser and no one likes you? Well, if you let me into this party, you'll help me not end up like you!"
To be fair, it's equally lacking in self-awareness to voluntarily leave your dance team for someone else and then blame them for it. Her friend wants her to defy her mother when her grades have dropped horribly and makes it sound like she has some point about making your own choices, meanwhile she's blaming the protagonist for her own choices and not taking any credit for them at all.
These movies try to teach valuable lessons like “do what you’re passionate about” while also completely ignoring the fact that some people can be passionate about academics. Also the plot in these movies are just so bad.
Also, colleges are portrayed to focus on extracurriculars way too much. Colleges that have academic heavy degrees put a lot of weight on academics. Great if you do other stuff but you need the grades to back it up. Otherwise, how will you do well in college classes? When I was applying to college, one of the things I was told over and over was to make sure my grades didn't drop towards the end. If you are "accepted" to the college (before a final transcript is sent to the school) and your grades start dropping dramatically, the college may waitlist you or decide not to admit you.
Yes! My passion is academics and in a lot of these movies the characters who are like me are looked down upon or the ones who “have to change” :(
Yes, yes and yes! I can relate to this so hard. Why can't your passion be medicine or science or computer science? Like it is, for many of us. Why does passion always have to be wooh wooh, like acting or dancing? 😂
Cyborg Chick ikr, they act like wanting a good stable job, and wanting to go to a good uni, and studying hard is bad. Why isn’t it acceptable to like academics?
Why do all of these protagonists have to be such selfish and completely inconsiderate people but it works out conveniently
yeah like they mess up so spectacularly & everyone else is like "yeah thats fine"
i had an example but it can boil down to "MC messes their friends lives up for their own personal gain, bit of awkwardness where their friends are mad, friends then forgive them & then the MC still somehow gets the romantic interest"
Someone once compared Juilliard/Isaiah to Sharpay, and I felt that
And all other characters in the story are stereotypes with absolutely no backstory and no defining traits
Because reality and consequences don't exist also kakashi
@@clairekennedy7719 Nah, that's deliberate. If they have no goals in life, there's no problem if we ruin their lives.
It's complicated you know, bad writing isn't easily comprehensible
one thing i do appreciate is that she actually is a realistic applicant for a big uni like duke, like she’s done a lot of stuff and she’s clever and tries to be an all-rounder, unlike SOME main characters trying to get into harvard with a stupid essay (if you know, you know [and i’m sorry for your loss])
wasnt that the one movie with the dude from to all the boys ive loved before? or was it the dude from riverdale, i cant remember anymore
Espyn Wisniewski i thought she was talking about the kissing booth
@@espynwisniewski9013 the perfect date I think
Wait she says she is a 4.0 but there is definitely higher gpa no?
@@nellio3981 Kind of. There is weighted and unweighted. A 4.0 unweighted GPA is perfect, like that is straight A's in every single class. Weighted depends on what classes you're taken, like an Honors class is worth more than a standard class and an AP class is worth more than an Honors class (though the "weight" can vary by state or by year, like certain classes carried more "weight" when I was in high school 6-7 years ago than it does now that my brother is in high school.)
"does she tell her mom that her boyfriend's, like, 25?"

Ok can we please talk about why in EVERY teen movie one of the main characters parents is ALWAYS dead???? LITERALLY. EVERY. SINGLE .TIME.
But not in Easy A
It gives them a ~*✨💫tragic💫✨*~ backstory so that you feel more for them
THE ONLY MOVIE IS EASY A THERE IS NO OTHER MOVIE
I find that very relatable, thank you.
It's what they sacrifice to become the main character
So we’re not even going to mention how selfish Sabrina’s character is for putting her best friend’s dream on the line for her own... Aight okay then
Thats what I'm saying! She lied to that woman at Duke, practically fails at pulling off her plan, and drags her friend into her mess. Like what's the lesson??
@@jacklyntree7752 "Shoot for the moon~ even if your miss^ you'll land among the stars~"
In Ryan's soothing tone
Yeah she's pretty dang selfish but every ten movie has to have one of those friend fighting scenes so :/
Exactly!
Thats what I thought when I watch it. She was supeeer selfish and get away with it
“I’m so quirky and relatable but like no one likes me” like every main character in a teen movie/show
Ah, the "I'm not like other girls" phenomenon
As a female myself I don’t care that I’m like other girls that just means there are females that share my interests
spicy chicken I like you’re name

At this point, I would prefer a story through the eyes of a blonde cheerleader dating the highschool jock. I mean, everyone's life is interesting in their own way and I am pretty sure that some superficial seeming characters might have more to tell than a quirky moron

Well doing it on it's own and incorporating it into a normal routine are two different things
Sienna Hartle ikr? It makes me gag
Can we just have one movie with a third act that doesn’t involve angst or conflict? Shrek, Rio, The MLP movie? Come on movie makers, stand the hell out
I’m still mad that she still wore that she wore those clothes, I’ve seen so many smart girls with better looking clothes.
her style wasn’t that bad, but them having her wear a plain white button down shirt made me so angry lmfao 😭😭😭
But.. I like her clothes...
what’s wrong with her clothes?
So no one gonna talk about how dirty the wardrobe people did Sabrina.
The idea I think
I actually really liked Sabrina's outfits
They were just trying to make her look nerdy for the role. But yeah i agree with you. 😂
Those closed swallowed her in the movie it made her look so different. Probably because she usually wears close she can fit.

When will movies learn spilling liquid on a keyboard doesn't immediately make something explode.
IKR, I did once then it was just like turning off for like a couple of hours then it turned back on
ikr, like spilling liquid on an electronic doesnt make it blow up, it just causes slight malfunctions for a little while
Probably around the same time they care about the fact that shooting a gas tank doesn't make it explode, which would be never.
Woops spilled my water * computer explodes with the force of the tsar bomb
I did that before. The keyboard just didn’t work for a little
I hate how she just so happens to magically be able to dance suddenly...That’s not how it works ...at all
Finally someone said it !
You do realize she trained for the whole senior year? Granted, that is still not a lot for a novice, however one has to keep in mind that this film was about group dancing rather than a solo effort.
Also, the dancing in this film is not of the highest level (which is understandable, since they are all supposed to be teens after all).
@@livioverda5553 1. It's less than a year, half at most.
2. one year is still nothing compared to people who trained their whole lives or at least all of their high school years (Isiah), sure you can argue that some people are just more gifted therefore needs less time but it was explicitly highlighted that she had no gift in dance at all at the beginning of the movie.
@IKELLA I found it stupid that all of a sudden Quinn and Jake started dating mainly because he touched her waist.
@@darpyyy8160 OMG excellently and not to forget she got him fired. Like.... MY GOD😡
Did she even tell her mum that basically, the only thing the university was taking into account was that she danced? I mean, she would be way more supportive if she knew
Nah, she didn't bring it up until the part where her mom confronts her about grades
@Disappointment I hate it so much when movies think the best thing to do is show the kids lying to their parents. What a great lesson. Honestly most parents (my parents) don't care what you do as long as you are honest. They aren't mad about what you are doing, they are mad you lied.
@@TheKat12364 I get that lying is bad, and this entire situation in the movie was unnecessary, but there are plenty of parents that do care about what you do. Like the kinds of parents that push their children to work harder academically and don't want you doing things that aren't involved with that. You may have wonderfully understanding parents, but not everyone has that luxury. My grandmother is strict about what kinds of friends I have, and sometimes I do have to lie about them. To her, my friends have to be straight A students that spend all their time studying, and yes she has gotten mad at me for having friends that are less than that.
Kat Del This! I have a 15-year-old son. I tell him over and over and over again if you do something bad just tell me. If you lie about it and I find out it’s gonna be 1 million times worse. I don’t want to be mad at you for both the bad thing you did AND the fact that you lied to me.
Pufferfish-San as your parental figure that’s her JOB. She’s doing her best to make sure you grow up to be a successful human being. Do not lie to her! What you’re doing is hurting yourself and your grandmother. Is that what you really want? To hurt your grandmother and possibly yourself because you’re too young and naïve to understand your grandmother is just looking out for your best interests?
Also if you’re being raised by your grandparents where are your parents? And did you ever think maybe that’s why she’s so strict with you?
The actor playing Isaiah, Keiyan Thomas, was on an Australian show called “Dance Academy.” He starts on the show during the second season and he also plays a dancer who’s really good and full of himself. Highly recommend it ☺️.
He also plays Bram in Love Simon.😊
Oh, that’s where I’d seen him before! Thanks.
FRICKIN OBSESSED WITH THAT SHOW AUSSIE TV IS SI GOOD HTDRHSRHYT

Is no one going to talk about how Jake Taylor had a knee accident but danced perfectly in the Work It competition?
Also, why was he even dancing? He had already graduated and was their choreographer. Since when do choreographers need to dance with the crew?
@@alisongreenslade1006 because Quinn was late
I think in the movie he said he stopped dancing because after his injury he wasn't the best dancer anymore. So it was most likely his mind preventing him from dancing and not his knee injury?
Alison Pauls lol I was wondering the same thing. Dance movies never make sense you just watch it for the dancing but the dancing wasn’t that great
My sister was very bothered by that throughout the entire movie.
That one girl: Jas isn't worried about grades because she wants to be a dancer.
Me: If only that were how it works...

BAHAHAH
i just have an issue with the fact that everyone is acting like quinn can't multitask.. like you can be a dancer and still keep up your grades it's just something that you have to make time for.
Exactly. Knew a girl who danced, played sport, modelled and was able to be in the top 10 of her grade. So it's definitely possible. And she wasn't the only one.
No no, you see...you can't be smart AND athletic. That's against the High School Movie rules. You have to choose. That's why the Duke recruiter was so excited to see a dancer with good grades...it had literally NEVER. HAPPENED. BEFORE. ...you know, in the history of High School Movies.
martha cox from HSM, who would pop and lock and jam and break while having intelligence beyond compare, would be so disappointed in quinn

The most annoying thing in this movie is how her entire team practices in JEANS!!! I used to dance and you would be told to change or be sent home because they limit your mobility.
I know!! I do cheer and you can’t do anything athletic in jeans 😂
I felt that right in my soul and I haven't danced in years
THANK YOU!!!
I practiced in jeans once and dislocated my knee. Whether related or not, i became the example on why you dont practice in jeans
And that's the tea
If Jas was the main character Quinn would have been the villian like she literally risked her friend's future by making Jas leave the dance team - that's equally important to her as Duke is to Quinn - only to start one with her who literally never danced?? And then in the end even leaves the team for a while cuz she changed her mind?? She seems hella selfish honestly and she could've just started a dance team without Jas if she was so convinced that she can win
jas left the team because she felt unappreciated, she made that decision on her own. so for you to blame quinn... you’re 12 aren’t you 🥺
HearMeRoar Even if she felt unappreciated, do you think Jas would have just up and left the team without Quinn’s pressuring and promises? NO! Jas would have stuck it out and sucked it up so that she could achieve her dream. Jas had blind faith in Quinn because she trusted her friend to care about her dream and she wanted to help her friend. Feeling respected was just an added bonus. Quinn was just super selfish. If she didn’t decide to get the group back together (which was a decision she made purely for herself). She would have cost Jas her dream, and cost Jake his job while she still gets to skip off to an IVY league.
dude ur on crack
@@mommymaks Unappreciated or not she still had a much better chance at winning in that team than with someone who literally couldn't dance.
@Sabrina Grimm already said it perfectly, Quinn knew Jas was taking a risk by joining her team and when Quinn left the team she put her own future over her friend's, after being the one who put Jas in that situation in the first place
@@mommymaks the second time yes, but the first time she was pressured into it.

Well then little ol me in Africa has no chance on getting into Harvard 😑🚮
I love how apparently doing all the academic stuff she clearly cares a-lot about, the interviewer ask “ WhAt ArE pAsSiONate aBoUt”
I’m sorry dancing takes emotion and passion but playing an instrument doesn’t?!
plus the understanding of rhythm, beats etc. like 😂
I play piano and when I heard that line it hurt me 😿
Tbh, if they're forcing themselves to do it when they don't want to do it so it's hard to put passion and emotion in it but you can also say that about dance I guess so ignore me pls.
It definitely does but I guess since all of the applicants played a instrument( apparently the cello) it felt lack luster when all of them played the a instrument and something new was well received.
As a hobbyist guitar player, that line physically hurt me. Personally I think music takes/induces more and stronger emotion.
A school as prestigious as Duke wouldn't care that much about the 'emotion' of dance team. They care that mommy or daddy can cut that check.
I think they acknowledged that with firing the admission officer. Seemed like she was kind of 'wacky' and going against protocol for the administration/admission.
@@Bluesdogma haha. Good to hear. I've personally been to Duke many times, and dance ain't what they care about in real life. Even at the weekend long campout party, there's no dance team, lol.
Plus Duke is primarily medical lol they don’t focus that much on the arts
Lol same with my school... there isn’t many ways you can fail that interview as long as u have money
It would be something they consider “diverse” if other students didn’t have that but were in other ways the same... plus a lot of duke students get loans- have you not heard of the duke student who became a porn star to pay tuition?!?!? Miriam something or the other- they made a lifetime movie about it... her parents didn’t have the money but they made too much for her to qualify for aid and she didn’t want to be sacked with all that loan debt (duke is like $50k a year- probably more now)
As a premed I'm offended that this movie basically tells people that you can just "dance" your way to become a doctor despite having bad grades.

The funny thing about Netflix Teen Movies is that the main character who is supposed to ‘quirky, nerdy and unpopular’ , would never be just one of the crowd in reality - like there’s no way they’re gonna go unnoticed actually looking like that lol. my point is that they’re all really pretty and fit modern beauty standards so like -

I remember growing up a little show called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Now Melissa Joan Hart isn't ugly but at least the show made her really weird. The teen crap nowadays just seems so forced or out of touch. Like this movie for instance. I swear they thought of things from the 90s that were considered nerdy and plopped it in modern day (AV Club, Bill Nye, Music class).
@@wiplash123987 it was such a good show!!!!! I think Netflix is throwing anything at us as teens. It's not fair. We're not getting good films. Most of them are just romanticising mental health in shows and teen romance movies with the same storyline which makes me yawn. Most good shows which I love watching have really short seasons and/or stopped filming because of covid. These teen films are very addicting because they put attractive people in a film which a lot of people want to start dating etc.
why do teen movies always treat Harvard like it's a community college?
dxactly, it’s an IB/IV(????) league school
Ikr
It wasnt harford, it was duke
Sarah Duke is still a pretty High leveled college
Because somehow it still apparently has meaning despite it being so overused and it’s meaning diminished. It’s like the quirky girl trope.
Of course her name is Quinn. Every nerdy blonde girl who's actually secretly cool has to be named Quinn.
Take Zoey 101 for example.
Don’t mind me. I’m just afraid of everything. And glee
Gleeeee Quinn Fabray
@@sugarlolopeach Quinn's just blonde, not nerdy at all
crazyjenny42 yeah not nerdy, you‘re right but she’s smart though, got into Yale
‘everyone plays the cello’ no what? it isn’t that easy...
let me guess at the end she will realise she likes dancing and doesn't want to go to the college she all her life wanted to and that friendship is magical wow what a twist pretty sure 90% of the people who watched this movie and people who are watching this video already figured it out
You're are kinda wrong she still wanted to go to the college
Danielle Smith but she wasn’t caring about that anymore tho
@@ErikaChristinag yeah. Idek if she got in
well she still wants to go to the college but she does realize that she likes dancing.
I already watched the full movie.
Nasheeta Rahman same.
I feel like the movie was kind of rushed, it probably could've been better if they had gone a little slower. I only watched it cause I love Sabrina Carpenter
Watched it for Jordan Fisher lol
Same to both of those lmaooo😂
Roxie Willows sameee
I watched it for liza lmao
I watched it for sabs, she did so good in this movie! I also agree it did feel just a bit rushed but I still liked it nonetheless
I cant help but like this movie cause jordon Fisher looks directly into the camera and winks
Sameeee
Truuuu
Jordan Fisher 🥰
Honestly same
like can we appreciate his talent he sings he acts he dances he's been on broadway and his winks make me melt inside
"Fangs from Riverdale" gosh Alex has seen Riverdale so much that he knows every character on the show 😂
As a trained dancer, Julliard's team should have won. They had the talent and were an elite team. I am offended by this movie
same, but hey it’s netflix don’t expect too much
I stopped expecting anything decent from Netflix a long time ago
I rlly thought they were gonna go with: oh they lost but quinn still got accepted and jazz still got recruited! Yay! And even that is pretty meh but them winning the competition surprised me 🤭and not in the good way
they didn't win, a lot of teams have that and still dont
@@miatownsend6088 Yeah, this is why I despise dance movies with a passion
Ok, one thing that’s not THAT big a deal but still pisses me off is the inaccuracy of the ending. As a dancer, so much work goes in to training and so much time goes into perfecting as much as you can your technique and rhythm and attitude, yet in this movie the main character just gets to qualify for a massive competition, gets to almost crush her friend’s dreams that’s she’s worked SO hard for, gets to pull out some amazing, well known choreographer, just because she lied to a college official and FEELS LIKE IT??? It just irritates me, bc that doesn’t seem fair to the other kids who have given up so much for dance.
they didn’t even hire good dancers lmaoo
Man as someone who has been dancing since i was 4, it makes me feel like I did so much for nothing
Catherine Kraack exactly, same! Like all those hours in the studio mean nothing because apparently the media thinks that dance is so easy that you can just pick it up in your free time and get to the same level as a professional. 🙄
and then the last routine that won the whole thing? terrible. Istg it was messy, there were no costumes, the main girl just WALKED IN in the middle of the dance, and it was just one person dancing and everyone else frozen around them the whole time. That wasn't even CLOSE to a winning routine. Maybe I'm being too judgmental but the dancing part of this movie SUCKED, and it was the main thing in the movie!
I’ve been dancing for four years and I was like oof. 😹😹😹. The routines weren’t that good especially the music they put with the dances. I-
i really hate the narrative that movies like this one and the kissing booth push about college and high school students. i went to high school in a nice area and i was in a lot of "smart people" classes so I spent a lot of time with overachievers and most of them were at least average looking, sociable, fashionable, and popular (at least among themselves), even the "nerds" and other outliers had more than just one friend. they were also focused on schools that were a good fit for them and not just aiming for ivy leagues(though a lot of them did apply) and a lot of them were fine with just going to a great school in state, especially because of financial concerns. i also hate the idea that all the work you put into building your college resume is useless if you don't have one quirky activity you would've never tried before. obviously colleges get a lot of great generic applications, but they can tell the difference between a bunch of activities you did just for college vs a few activities you did and made a difference in because you were passionate about them and that makes a world of difference when it comes to admissions decisions. i resent the idea that smart or high achieving people are so one dimensional and that the college admissions process is such a joke
Spot on, I really couldn't agree more
Ugh, yes. And another pet peeve for me it's Ivy League schools aren't the only way that the "smart people" should go through college. I went to a state university and now I'm in one of the top grad programs in my field because I found what I was passionate about and it showed in my application. Didn't even matter that my passion wasn't sparked at Harvard or Yale
This is why as a Canadian I don't understand Ivy league colleges or are the universities. Either way to a Canadian they just look like stiff suits who take all your money and produce stuck up's. (no offense, just movies like this and others, do not paint your university/collage system in a good light)
i hate youtube comment rants but yea i agree
Couldn't agree more with the first part of your comment. Real life seems quite opposite of this movie. Most of the smartest people in my school were popular, on dance teams, cheerleaders, etc. Like if you were smart, people would WANT to be friends with you to get help with their homework lol "Outcasts" weren't outcasts because they were smart, but usually because they were weird.
Will the "smart" girls EVER wear clothes that fit?
I understand if they're dirt poor and raid thrift stores for their wardrobe, but come on-
That book stamping scene was literally I ain’t got rhythm from Phineas and Ferb
Phoenixia I know right!! That’s literally all I was thinking that whole scene
I'm glad more people thought about that 😌👌
I thought about that too
The interview scene is from modern family.
I HAVE FINALLY FOUND MY PEOPLE

This is exactly how i watched it! Playing video games and having it playing in the background.. lmao
Quinn: I'm an A student and volunteer and belong to lots of clubs.
Interviewer: Same as all our applicants.
Quinn: My father is an alum and donates to all the fundraising.

This movie is just a adult version of Disney dance movies.
Edit: thanks for the likes 0-0 didn’t expect that lol 😂
The adult version is step up.

@@emwright2977 yes queen

@@bulldogcheetah9607 please dont use the word queen
Man, Kid Flash's new costume is a bit more revealing than expected.
hhahahahaha that was funny 😂
It was like the costume designer read up on his imdb bio & went on to craft up what would be the most flamboyant outfit ever made for film.
This is what he's been doing since he lost his speed.
😂🤣
Yeahhhh🤣🤣🤣
I just now realized the animated people aren't wearing clothes.

Naturism is a lifestyle of non-sexual nudity.
It's very common in Europe.
@@saschamayer4050 Yeah. It also seems more genuinely body-positive than the fat acceptance movement.
Fan service~
*Jacob approves*
One thing that really annoyed me is the inconsistentcy with Jake's knee injury. During one of the training sessions he has with Quinn he knee hurts and he has to stop but later in the movie he is able to do a whole routine and is completely fine
Why Netflix dragging down Sabrina carpenter and Jordan Fisher into there terrible movies
You know they aren't slaves right?
Inari Gerhart cuz they need money?? You realize they have to get paid right???
Pretty sure Sabrina was a producer for this film and honestly this film is so much better than the other crap they’ve brought out like kissing booth and tall girl
@@xoxarily its not like there broke tho. They don't need to be a part of the trash films
But then again they read the script and still decided to be in this corny movie
The protagonist is a toxic friend, and a toxic person in general, risking people's jobs and dreams for her own personal deluded goals.
True and yet they make her out to be some sort of a hero. I feel bad for the other dance team they deserved the win so much more
The next Riley Matthews
@@alexifelton1070 IKKK
AND her relationship with Jake is technically illegal.
I wouldn't call it toxic isn't that like makeing fun of your firends parents being dead and then will past it off as a joke
“teen dance movie” ... not a single one of them is a teen.
child labour laws and all that
TripleMoya Games They could’ve still hired actual teens
@@ohwigoisgs true, but they wouldn't be able to do some scenes if they actually hired teens all the time
TripleMoya Games 18/19 yr olds are teens
@@mzhao7650 and then? most HS movies would require 15-17 yr olds for accuracy anyway
Loved the movie tho. Jordan Fisher is just an amazing actor/singer/dancer and I was really surprised that Liza acted quite well!
The entire movie is founded on the premise that being on a dance team takes more work than maintaining a 4.0 gpa, learning the cello or volunteering...this is dumb..
She said her Dad took her to Duke football games. Duke’s football team is awful. She could have at least said Basketball. They’re actually good at basketball.
Her dad was on the Duke football team and she said it felt like home
The real Duke football team was the friends we made along the way
ahahaha for some reason this is so funny to me
As a Tarheel I can’t actually technically publicly agree with you here but I will say that yes Duke football sucks
This is a normal netflix teen rom com, but Quinn is so selfish. What if this did not work out? Her friend would not get into her dream school. Not a good friend
Also why Gabriella is the worst person in hsm2
Schmoney's World what 😂
@@wusaart5331 it because for all the shit talk sharpa gets she for one dance was giving Troy connection and a fucking job not just money financial stability and all she wanted was a dance he promise
AMV KINGDOM mv tru tru but Gabriella wasn’t the one making the decision, Troy was. She can’t control his life. But Gabriella was holding him back, that’s true
The fact that you went straight from her discovering her rhythm working at a library to "getting the band back together" was a beautiful P&F reference and I appreciated it.
The story was too short, everything happened too fast, they only went to one competition, the whole story just felt like a really bad fan fiction
I honestly agree and hate when movies throw so much so quickly but it's honestly wayy better than dragging it out more than it ever needs to
that's because it probably was one
THIS IS WHAT IM SAYINGGGĢ
@* RxseFashixn * I shall forever be salty about that. I have read fan fiction better than the Cursed Child. Heck, I’ve even read crack fics that are better than Cursed Child.
fr.
Two things: she wants to go premed? And she can't find her own heartbeat? Maybe consider a new program. And secondly, they %1000 stole that book stamping scene from Phineas and Ferb
I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THINGS
Cause I ain’t got rhythm
Right!!
@@marinabertuzzelli7508 phineas and ferb did it better
Was going to comment exactly the same thing!
I’m not a cellist but I do believe that instruments DO require emotions, so when she told the interviewer that she played the cello, the interviewer wasn’t impressed, then she goes on to say she “is in the dance team” and the interviewer goes “wow that requires emotion.” Doesn’t cello? Aren’t you degrading the amount of musicality that goes into it or did the writers not research enough, as per usual with these teen movies. So annoying.
i think the reason she wasn’t impressed was because she stated that every other student she’s seen also plays the cello and does the other things, but when she heard dancing, because it wasn’t something she’s heard before in the interviews, she was impressed.
That really annoyed me too
You shouldn't take it that seriously...
Also she says she doesn't have any rythme right ? How do you even play an instrument then 😥
as a cellist, i believe that what the counselor said about "not having emotion" was bs. but also everyone and their dog plays cello (after the violin), so i can see how quinn was basic. now if she played the viola, then it'd be a different story....
and don't even get me started with the lack of cello references in this movie except for that one shot where she was playing an open d.
I was would have at least liked the movie if they explored the other characters on Quinn's dance team. I feel like they had so much potential.
I was hoping he'd mentioned how they killed an old man because of their terrible dancing 😂😂😂😭😭😭
same lol
it was corny but i CACKLED
😆
He died to big frida tho!
The joke was never funny in the first place
Netflix needs to realize there’s more to a “gay character” than being sassy and dyeing your hair.
Agreed
@@peng7771 hey fellow killjoy
Lol but don’t we see that in every single school. That kid who’s very sassy and is great at dancing who also happens to be gay. From what I’ve seen in my area, that’s common and it’s damn accurate. (Of course removing the exaggerated parts of the character like being the only star of the team)
Exactly
Killing eve 🙈
I like the chemistry between Jordan Fisher and Sabrina Carpenter. Also, kinda weird that it feels like they shoved a lot of faces into this movie
me too
I also like their chemistry, but I feel like they were a bit too far apart in age, considering we didn’t know how old the character Jordan Fisher played was. I wish they had made Jordan Fisher a high school student instead of an adult with an apartment and job.
@@cordeliabryant8259 I mean if she wasn't still in school it'd be better, but she is so...
@@cordeliabryant8259 I think he was supposed to be 20 and she was probably 18. They say it's been 2 years since his injury and he had to be still in high school back then. Nothing wrong with that.
TÝNA
Wait, but in the movie didn’t the mom say Sabrina’s character couldn’t drive?
“Control alt delete”? What this kid is working with an HP pavilion and nOT a mac?? What kind of dancer
Okay but how were those teens not traumatized for killing an old man
Guess its cause he just fell asleep and didn't like hang himself in front of them. To conclude, were desensitized as people.
@Connor Swindells idk- I was gonna ask u the same thing-
Harold
@Connor Swindells it's the person who died in the movie's name haha
WERKIN IT
Why is this literally the plot of Disney's Cloud Nine with Dove Cameron and Luke Benward.
Dove can't snowboard so she finds Luke who was like the best in the league until he got terribly injured and then he gives in to teaching her how to snowboard and they eventually form their own snowboarding team.
*Alex could you do a video on Cloud Nine?*
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT LOL
That’s essentially the format for every teenage movie that involves sports. It’s so repeated and just gets boring. The writers try and tweak the format but it’s just over done
@@zinnnia We all did
Yes exactly
And Sabrina Carpenter’s character in this seems to just be her character in Adventures in Babysitting
Actors like Sabrina, Jordan and Keiynan are COMPLETELY UNDERRATED and that is UNACCEPTABLE. They were DISRESPECTED in this movie.
Sabrina deserves better... But she's doing it to herself tbh...
She suppose to be in spider woman hopefully she's redeemed in that
Sabrina’s acting was.. not her best in this movie. Her and Liza have good onscreen chemistry tho.
@@noone9811 its not really the acting, its the writing. Same with tall girl, netflix doesn't do her justice.
@@leeanna1297 that'd be soo cool

*How to create a basic teen Netflix movie in 7 easy Steps*
1. _Get a Girl/Guy who’s “quirky” yet has untapped potential_ (Most likely always Caucasian)
2. _Get a One dimensional more interesting friend to tag-a-long and exist solely for the main characters dilemma dispute reason_ ( Most Likely always a Black/“Minority” or a member of the LGBTQ community or if their trying to kill two birds one stones they’ll intermingle them
3. _Have a Screenplay filled with dialogue that is tedious and boring or has _*_Slang_*_ not used anymore_
4. _Have a basic Mean Girls Rachel McAdams wannabe bully the protagonist_
5. _Main Girl/Guy has awakening after unnecessary conflict_
6. _Movie ends with some message that was not clearly fleshed out and characters life continues_
7. _You realize the time you’ve wasted watching garbage, so you drink bleach and go to sleep wondering when will they stop making these type movies, and create something with substance._

As someone who actually went to Juilliard, the second that scene where he was like “call me juilliard” made me cringe in such deep way. Also loved that he was turned away because juilliard is a conservatory and they didn’t take him seriously. honestly the most believable portrayal of juilliard lol
KC Herbert In that scene where he made a fuss about being called Julliard, I almost turned the movie off right there lol.... the concept of someone wanting to be called by the name of their dream school is hilarious to me!!!! Imagine someone wanting to be called Harvard or Colorado State.... like what!?!?
"My Gynecologist is a Dukey" is one of the best lines I have ever heard. 🤣
Also, this is so very "Bring it on", or "Stomp", or "Pitch Perfect".

@@nyah7084 This is also a possibility. Still though
Fun fact: In Brazil they translated “work it” to “imperfect dancer”
and this makes sense, I guess?
He, in Mexico it's Work it "Al Ritmo de los Sueños" which mean to the Rythm of your Dreams, sounds more like a cheesy Feel good movie from the 2000's.
Bryan Manuel well “no ritmo dos seus sonhos” is already taken by “Honey” 2003 film with Jessica Alba.

In Israel it called "In The Beat" for some reason. but we also called Frozen "Break The Ice" so... we're bad at names

em português mesmo pra os estadunidenses não entender nada
in Poland it’s “Wytańcz To” so you can kinda translate it to „Dance It Out”...I still don’t know WHY 🤷🏻♀️
Is seriously NO ONE gonna talk ab the fact that this is LITERALLY the plot for ice princess, you know that old Disney movie ab a quirky/ nerdy girl who just wants to go to Harvard. And then for a project to help her get into Harvard she learns figure skating, turns out she’s pretty good. Then her mom confronts her ab her failing grades and reminds her ab Harvard, then later in the movie she decides to throw that away and become a skater? Nope, just me ok
This is the premise of like a dozen teen movies lol
I vaguely remember a movie like that where she like, gets a concussion or something. I might be tripping, that might have been an illusion, but I do know what you're talking about.
this plot has been used in SOO MANY MOVIES im tired of seeing the same thing over and over again
OMG that’s exactly what I thought
Yes, the Ice Princess! 😁
