This was a good review I agree that this movie was bogged down by the overdramatics and Shakespeare quotes but I disagree about Piper's acting I think she did a really nice job in it maybe I'm biased because I have a crush on her though haha
This movie was so unrealistic. Never in real life teenagers have that level of maturity about love. These girl characters really had some depth of mind, beyond their years ''wisdom''. That wisdom only my grandfather could have the day he almost dies. Because this movie is so fed up with drama. ''Letter to my birth mother?'' did not sound real, because when girls are in high school these types of conversations do not happen. Also I though was a really big negative point Paulie having mental health problems. Because that is not making the character look more likable. And we do not sympathize more with her for the fact she is a lesbian and plus have mental problems at the same time; that's too messy.
Hi Andreia! We agree, “who wants to read a letter to my birth mother” sounds a) totally not realistic b) like a heads up to avoid that person and c) just not a compelling read. But we take that dialogue like champs (cringe and bear it) because of the limited catalog of lesbian films! Do you have any films you’d like to see us review?
The Ani DiFranco song, 'You Had Time' kills me every time I watch the film. I still actually quote Piper's lines to people randomly. I love this channel!
