Why does no one ever bring up the legal consequences of revenge porn and distributing child pornography. It drives me crazy. It should have ended with Max going away in handcuffs…

Everyone who's able to say lines from Riverdale with a straight face is automatically a top-tier actor

“Im shocked! This is shocking news!” was my favorite line throughout the whole movie. I loved Camila Mendes’ sarcasm and how she really formed her character

I think it's important that Drea didn't call Elenor "an icky lesbian", but she told everbody Elenor assaulted a girl. Thats very different

For the love of god can we please get a modern teen movie where the main character isn’t trying to get into an Ivy League school

The most unrealistic part: a mechanic being so upfront about a simple problem in Drea’s car.

That song “Brutal”, by Olivia Rodrigo went together so well with the introduction scene where we first see Eleanor driving on the interstate. It had such an ‘05 tone to it. I swear. Literally felt like a recollection of all the iconic teen movies I watched growing up.

This movie is more like "Clueless"(style & clothing wise), meets "Mean Girls" with a little "Cruel Intentions" thrown in. I really liked it.

i honestly didnt mind this movie but its so funny to me how Drea literally just forgave Eleanor so easily- when she hit her with a car- threatened to frame her hardworking mom for drugs- and stole all her friends- and she's just like- " Nora! this violence has to stop! Girl you get me-" LIKE WHATTTT GIRL MAYBE TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GO OVER WHAT JUST HAPPENED BEFORE YOU INSTANTLY FORGIVE HER>

my favourite line in the film was from sophie turner, just screaming, i dont do cocaine, i dont even know hwat it looks like

For many years it seems like Hollywood tried to remake the magic movies like Mean Girls or Heatehers had, and even tho Do Revenge is far from perfect, it got the assignment right. It's funny, it's campy, it's cheesy, it's brutal, it's a little dark. I really enjoyed it and it's one of the best "teen movies" we've had in recent years.

"Why is it always your first instinct to light someone's hair on fire?" "Why isn't it yours?" Honestly I relate way too much to this, I kind of want to watch this now just so I can see whatever other crazy shit Meghan says, I love her already XD

"Just your average 28-year-old high schooler" I laughed so hard! It's so true, all highschoolers in shows, movies, and even real-life look so old nowadays.

The plot twist was so satisfying. It’s the type of thing that makes you want to go back and rewatch the movie to pick up on everything you missed the first time

As someone who’s *actually poly*, the “oh it’s just a poly thing” excuse is so infuriating. Being poly is not an excuse to cheat! Cheating is still cheating, whether you’re poly or monogamous. What makes it cheating, is that it was definitely done behind peoples backs.

This was a silly camp throwback to the 90s classic play teen remakes and it was so enjoyable. Why does every move have to be high art for so many people. It was a fun popcorn movie.

The fact that Drea ended up staying friends with the girl who PURPOSEFULLY HIT HER WITH A CAR is just.... damn.... Edit: Can we all just agree that being framed and bullied in middle school does not justify attempted murder? Please?

Camila Mendes' character could have easily gone to the police about BOTH people. One for exposing a private video and the other for attempt at extrortion.

i was not ready for that cuteness 8:30

the thing with max dating a bunch of girls from different cliques and the main characters failing to make him look bad is literally just the plot of John tucker must die

I completely agree with the end almost ruining it. Eleanor's personality switched so dramatically several times within such a short amount of time and then at the end her and Drea are just totally chill?? How are they so chill???

Drea was awfully forgiving about being hit by a car. Sarah Michelle Gellar is definitely the reason I watched as I was expecting terrible acting but Camilla was genuinely good and funny in this. Overall I really liked it. But also, can we talk about Maya's blonde wig? Tragic.

I mean, honestly, I think it should've been obvious that all these actors from Riverdale were actually amazing actors given shitty material just by being able to call someone Jughead in the middle of an intense, dramatic, or even passionate scene without IMMEDIATELY breaking into the strongest of gigglefits. I've TRIED doing that. I can say anything with a straight face... But I can't do that.

it was a very rushed ending but the point of them staying friends at the end is that they decided they're both kinda equal levels of crazy, or as Drea calls it "fucked up soul mates" so it's kind of like a "i enjoy spending time with you and since we're even now let's keep spending time together" kind of thing. but i do agree a "oh my god we're the same person" ending would have made way more sense if Eleanor hadn't gone full psychopath and hit Drea with her car

I was really surprised by how much I EFFING loved this, and Camila clearly had fun being in a role outside of Riverdale.

Honestly, when Eleanor/Nora was talking to Drea about a girl at camp outing her and everything... I thought it would be Drea...only for it to be. Eleanor is kind of wacko not gonna lie and Max got what he deserved...

I'm really happy for Camila. She was so fun to look at in this movie

I haven't seen the movie, but frankly I'm obsessed with the bright pastels. Like despite the plot and actors and basically everything, this movie is so fun to just *look at*

Why is there no mention of how Sophie Turner SLAYED her five minutes of screen time?!

ngl i was skeptical about this movie for obvious reasons but it was actually interesting and fun to watch, I was not expecting that plot twist tho

being a lesbian, being viewed as a “predator” by my girl peers is already an issue in my life with no aggressor. that mixed in with being outed would be devastating… i kind of get where shes coming from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was nice to see a teen comedy with a different premise. Instead of Mean Girls or Clueless (Emma) this was Stranger on a Train. I also really liked that even when the two leads started fighting it was clear they just wanted to be friends again. The final act was a bit thrown together but at least it led us to the ending we wanted. Sophie Turners small part was hilarious.

That last patriarch bit at the end was a bit cringe, but it definetely sounds like something a random drunk guy would say in that situation

This movie is a really fun sort of meta satirizion of 90s high school dark comedies. And it gets immediate approval from me for including the literal goddess Sarah Michelle Gellar. She is a fantastic actor and she still looks sensational!

The note at 13:16 i canttttt 😂

Imagine how awkward it was for my when my mom forced me to watch this with her as my first "teen" movie 💀

I watched this movie just yesterday. I couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. Tbh I liked the plot twist. It was so unexpected. The ending was also pretty satisfying. But some of it was cringey. I still have a love-hate relationship with it

“I’m a teenaged girl, we’re psychopaths”💀I’m so done

The plot twist of this movie was something I never imagined that i would see in a teen movie. I loved their costumes also.

12:04 That part reminded me of the Heather scene where JD breaks into Sawyer’s house lol Also the line “ get out of my house “ was in the musical too

Camila Mendes is super underrated as an actor and in terms of her comedic timing. She was also so good in 'Palm springs' as she wasn't the lead but gave such a great performance.

Let me just say that's it understated how devastating it is to get outed as a lesbian when you were so young. Of course this movie exaggerates things and Eleanor goes to stupid lengths to get revenge, but what happened to her not only hurt her in the moment but also most likely ruined her development as a budding queer person. I honestly feel for her.

One moment before drea forgave Nora (eleanor) Nora said that she thought Drea changed as she told the truth to her (at the birthday party nora decided she didnt change). That's why I think it's not hard to understand how quick Nora changed her mind about Drea at the end because Drea was in her changing phase but I can't deny they are both crazy. All in all it's about exactly this friendship

As a chronically "Buffy lesbian" I have to admit that the Kelsey interlude caused me to wheeze unironically with laughter. Kudos. 😅

What I don’t think a lot of people get is that this movie is MEANT to be cringe. It’s simultaneously a parade and a tribute to the cheesy teen movies of the 90s. It is intentionally camp and that’s why I like it so much. It doesn’t really take itself seriously at all despite having some “dark” aspects because it’s a dark comedy. Yeah this movie has some flaws but the cringeyness is not one of them. If anything it would be more cringe if they tried to play this concept straight.

Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from a movie like this but yoooo that plot twist had me shock 💀💀 I really didn’t expect that. That gives it a good rating from me

Whatever you may think of the movie, a Maya and Camila duo can’t go wrong

someone once told me if you ever send ''spicy'' pics you should NEVER EVER show your face or reveal it all

This movie was an unexpected slay, I honestly thought it was going to flop but I really enjoyed it

I feel the sucky car issue

This is the video that made me realize Alex Meyers is actually a millennial and thats coming from someone who is about to turn 25. Not understanding the fashion, undermining the severity of not just outing someone but also making them a predator, the whole point is that they are equally bad to each other and idk, after realizing that every other critique feels force because this is like a really good movie.

8:03 why does she look like Fleur De lacour from Harry Potter and the goblet of fire?

It's absolutely hilarious seeing Maya Hawke calmly sitting in the tub with a glass of champagne jamming to the Pom Pom Squad(yes....that is the name of the group believe it or not), while she stares off to the side surrounded by lots of candles, roses, and (for some weird reason)2 lizards.

"Dialling the garfield phone"/"folding the Chipotle burrito" - I'm dead 🤣 you never fail to brighten my day Alex 🙂

No, the ending is absolutely perfect if you ever watched Sarah Michelle Geller’s 90s teen classic Cruel Intentions and loved it as much as I did. That ending is a direct hommage to that movie and I honestly thought that that was Do Revenge’s biggest inspiration (I mean… Sarah Michelle Gellar even plays someone who could be grown up Catherine Meurteil). Nah, this movie was probably the best teen movie I’d seen since To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and is probably better written than many of my nostalgia favs.

i love this movie and i LOVED seeing camila’s acting shine outside of riverdale

I watched this movie last night and OMG, that plot twist about it all being a revenge plot by Eleanor from the very first moment blew my mind! The patriarchy bit at the end, personally, we could have done without, but whatever. And here I thought creativity was dead, but, I guess there's still some creative people out there in Hollywood

Sara Michelle Geller can put me through a woodchipper- same Kelsey. Same.

''Michelle Geller could literally put me through a woodchipper'' I felt that in my soullll lol

14:50 the riverdale poster in the background is so funny bc camila mendes was in both do revenge and riverdale

Drea should have called the cops for child pornography distribution. Unfortunately like in the real world Max would use his affluenza and get away with it with no legal consequences.

I'm glad you brought up how a bad show/movie does not make a bad actor. I know there's specifically plenty of voice actors who are pretty much legends in the industry yet they get cast in some really awful crap just to get a paycheck between bigger jobs. The industry as a whole seems to be messed up, especially with companies like Netflix making bad movies and shows for cash grabs, with the occasional good thing if the right people are involved.

Glad you talked about this movie Alex cause I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Also your art and animation just keeps getting better! 👍👍

I'M SHOCKED! THIS IS SHOCKING NEWS!

Also for a movie that’s supposed to be with “today’s time” for example when Max twisted his cheating into being polyamorous and everyone accepting that, I found it unrealistic that Drea would be sl*t shamed????? Realistically everyone would be on her side

What got me about the ending was how Eleanor completely just gave up everything at the last party all because Drea made fun of her old nose. Like WHAT? We JUST got the big reveal and she seems like she’s gunna be like big bad monster villain but then she just cries about her nose and then that’s all forgotten

"In 4th grade you told everyone I farted even though I didn't so.. SAY GOODBYE TO GRANDMA!" Lol that killed me!!! 🤣

“THIS ROOM IS FOR COOL KIDS ONLY” got me rolling on the floor

I personally loved having so many actors who made it big with shows on different streaming services come together in one movie. It was quite fun to see, I want more of this!

That fact that Eleanor hit purposely hit drea with a car and drea forgave her blows me

I watched it yesterday with no expectation, and I was pleasantly surprised by its quality and scenario. Netflix is not always on point, but they did well with this movie. And I absolutely love how we went from the classic teenage movie to something darker 😍

Fantastic review /recap, you're work makes me smile so much. Thank you and keep up the good work!

This movie was really enjoyable for me. Made me laugh. The absurdity of it all, plus they didn’t make all the characters really cringe with outdated references. Erica was a blast, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between Eleanor and Drea.

Moral of the Story: EVERY first move in a street fight is the dominant hand haymaker. Learn to block, kids.

Totally agree with everything u said about Camila Mendes

“Say goodbye to Grandma” fucking killed me 🤣

People don't really care about how poor or rich your friends are. But, people usually care about who pays for who when people go out, so it comes up cause people don't get invited to do things, but it's not as prevalent as I think it might have been before I went to school

Tbh I only wanted to watch this because of Maya and Camila. Originally I thought this was going to be a show not a movie (bc Netflix didn't promote it properly) and that they were going to start a revenge ring where they help each other and slowly accumulate girls to take down the whole school (plus Maya and Camila's characters slowly fall in love and end up together), so I was a little disappointed it was only a movie but I was pleasantly surprised at how stupid fun it was. It still has the awkward Riverdale "let's reference a bunch of things that not everyone will understand" nonsense and they didn't end up together, but I love everything about Maya's character and how all the hints were there for the viewer to figure out. The one thing I didn't get was why throw her ex-girlfriend under the bus but honestly, she already self-identified as a psychopath so I guess it doesn't matter since she was willing to do anything to take Drea down.

"28 year old high school student" 🤣

I hope this isn't the beginning of Maya Hawke getting typecast. Mild serial killer vibes aside, she's basically just still playing Robin. We even JUST had a "popular girl makes Maya wear girly clothes and she hates it, how funny" scene last season in Stranger Things.

The way Alex completely skips over the fact that Olivia Sui from smosh is in this movie is so funny to me

4:36 Kelsey though 🤣🤣

🤣 this is like the only channel that literally have me, dying in laughter. The comedic timing is on point. You know I'm glad all these cheesy movies exist so Alex can review them then I don't have to suffer. 😆

I love this movie. Really enjoyed it. I know some people are confused how Drea and Eleanor forgave each other so easily, but i think it's simple: They both really liked being friends with one another, and just let bygones be bygones. If both are willing to forgive each other, and both accepted the other person's apology, then why is it bad. They realized holding on to grudges wasn't healthy. And sure, they are both fucked up in their own ways, but it works for them. I liked it. You don't see many relationships where they do this type of stuff of being mean, then forgiving, then just letting the past stay in the past. It's a nice change of pace.

The plot twist got me, it was pretty clever but tbh... the plot was ALL over the place, it wasn't sure what it was doing the whole time and tons of threads just...got forgotten. Plus the bad guy was so blatantly bad, it sounded like a cartoon villain story

9:42 is Hariyanna's cameo as an extra, damn they really did put her close to the burning trashcan lol

This is one of those movies I’ve been meaning to watch but don’t have the energy to but like I wanna watch it but omg I can’t bring myself to sit through it so…thank you for this 😌

Eleanor went a bit to far but honestly I kinda enjoyed her character 😅 maybe it’s cuz it kinda worked out in the end…. Kind of a weird movie but entertaining.

4:39 I was eating spicy noodles and almost choked. Same, Kelsey. Same.

"don't let the patriarchy hit you on the way out" best line in the entire movie

The project changes everything. The sparkly boy from Twilight ended up being my favorite Batman. Didn't expect that one.

This movie was so good 👌 The twist caught me off guard tho Plus I totally thought Drea and Eleanor were gonna date in the end but-- 🤷

Did anybody else cry during the scene when Drea was telling Eleanor that it was joke and that she actually wanted to be real friends with her, while Eleanor looked sad? I can’t be the only one😅🥲

I loved how this movie pulled inspiration from so many iconic films while still finding a way to be somewhat original. I was pleasantly surprised by it, and the acting in this was really good for a teen film

14:05 this has "it was me Barry" energy

I'm sorry Eleanor's standards for revenge are so drastic. Like, what would she do to my childhood bullies if I told her the hell they put me through? Burn their house down?

This movie was absolutely crazy. 😭 I was expecting a normal cheesy romance classic Netflix movie but it’s just so crazy. Funnily enough I liked the ending when they both decided to become friends and stop the hate cycle. I relate to that part a bit, sometimes the hate gets too much to bear and you just feel rubbish inside and you have no more anger left for the person. The only thing you can do is move on. Definitely a CRAZY unexpected movie. Glad I didn’t listen to the reviews and watched it myself 😂

this gave me janis and regina vibes at so many points 😭 but the plot twist was totally unexpected

I honestly don't really have a problem with this movie, sure there was no character development besides the ending but there was some really good plot twists

As someone who works in high schools, yes, kids still get mercilessly made fun of for being poor sometimes
