I thought it was also weird how Eleanor literally hit Drea with her car?!?! Then it was like they were still friends after that like what??? She literally hit you on purpose with her car

Nicks facial expressions crack me up every time 😂& Joseph’s condescending explanations of films is the cherry on top 😭 love you guys!!!

After listening to this review, I wanna see a movie about Olivia Colman the bearded lizard wreaking havoc on the boring rich kids in that high school. "Where are the adults?" The 25+ yr. old teenagers in this movie are the adults 😂Thank you for your critiques including Maya Hawke's wig!

Finally a review that brings up almost every issue I had with the movie. I thought I was going crazy seeing so much love for it. Also, great to see someone else who didn’t like Brick.

✅ no adults ✅ drug use ✅ revenge Is this euphoria?

I saw this 30 mins ago, and I couldn’t wait to see this review, because once I saw that makeover wig, I knew Joseph was going to go in on it 😂.

"Her best friend, the black lady..." 😂

The background makes it look like Nick is sporting big, pink bunny ears lol 🤣

“This film makes Bodies Bodies Bodies look like a classic.” Ooof!🙃

Diablo Cody-lite with teenagers. What a description. So succinct. Nick, you got a future kid!

Another superb review. Look forward to them. Have been there since the start and great to see it grow. By far you’re my favourite duo on KZfaq. Nick’s fascinating encyclopaedic film knowledge and Joseph’s wonderful soul. You guys are the best!

I agree with this review..the movie was a huge disappointment. You can literally feel them trying to capture the tone of Cruel Intentions, and even Heathers & Mean Girls. But it falls completely flat because the script isn't clever enough, and the casting wasn't that great either. I did like a lot of Drea's outfits, but I wish they found a way to make it look more DIY because they don't sell the "poor" narrative well. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Not Andrea Zuckerman, taking it all the way back to 90s 90210. I love it!

And in comes Joseph with the Andrea Zuckerman reference...the shorthand with you guys is amazing!

I thought you were saying Andrea Zuckerman because she was like 30 playing a teen just like Camilla in this lol. Great review. It definitely felt like an attempt at creating a modern version of Heathers, Clueless and Cruel Intentions, with some Mean Girls thrown in, but it was too poorly written to work and ended up feeling completely unoriginal because of it. The references were too dated for gen z and it felt like the writers were totally out of touch with this generation. Love you two and thanks for all you do ❤️

"Not a testament to master story-telling!" That's it! This is (going to be) sooo enjoyable - I mean the comments by both of you, not this 'black comedy!' Yes! :)

The music does feel random here, but a lot of it comes directly from Clueless, which I guess is what they are referencing? I spotted several costume call backs to Clueless as well

Humm fair points but I think some of it comes down to what highschool is like for a girl Having your sex tape leaked is humiliating and for someone who has immaculately carved her way up the social ladder with a big ego this is a huge blow. It could ruin her social life because max wanted to take her down and what he says goes. Elenor’s problem wasn’t completely about being outed. They addressed that. The rumour implied that she forced herself on another girl. So that made all the people shun her and the lesbian community shy away. All these things have a profound hit when you’re that age Also bullies have a short term memory. My bullies didn’t even remember what they did to me the year before

What a great review guys! I literally jusr finished the movie expecting so much more and it was quite disappointing. The ammount of cliches it has is kinda exhausting, it took a lot of me to finish the whole thing lol it just felt very predictable and dumb. And the final scene did annoy me so much, Eleanor was standing kinda like behind Max when he confesses but then they got a perfectly good front shot, and they play it at the party for like 3 seconds with Max yelling over it, but that was enough time for the whole school to hate him? UGH such a stupid ending. What a bad movie lol I did enjoy a few moments and some of the actors are great but the writing is not it

I think she was an outcast because she hit max and not the video. They had to choose between her or him.

I drank like two glasses of wine while watching this and enjoyed the first 2/3’s before it went off the damn deep end. What really stuck with me were a couple of references that I understood as a millennial, but if I were Gen Z? I forget the first reference (because alcohol), but I remember when they referenced Schoolhouse Rock because it was so jarring to me. That shit was old when I was a kid! I’m bummed because I have been craving some fun, chick flick, Sex and the City/Mean Girl-esque watches. If you have any recs, I’d love them!

Someones really gotta give you Cruel Intentions in a film soon because yall always mentioning how you want it to be that way and it just never is 😂😂

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. My nieces wanted to watch it. I had low expectations so maybe that's why, but I was pretty amused.

it made more sense on second viewing. when i first watched it, i was rooting for camilla's character so much and i didn't understand how she had to go threw all of that i not ONE person was on her side. but then watching it again, it was clear how much a a selfish narcissist she was, but it still didn't make sense that teat after EVERYTHING they still forgave each other in the end. i didn't mind "the twist" it was more everything else that came after it , that was just a bit too much. but it's a good movie. it's basically just a bunch of bad people and learning nothing along the way 😄 It was a FUN ride. the jokes was usually funny. the voice overs were great! the acting was great. Camilla was BORN to play this role. and it looked stunning. the fashion was great. the locations and the music. great fun! Best chick flick i have watched in a long while! 💜

The fashion was horrendous

Thanks!

“Eleanor” states she was made to be a predator when she was outed and “Drea” physically assaulted “Max” in front of everyone which is a no-no

Maybe I’ll sound stupid with this question. But when you were talking about the music and maybe a 40 year old something wrote this etc. and I know I don’t know any script writers but do they not do research and maybe interview students and get a young perspective before writing scripts and teen movies. Just wondering. And maybe writers do. Maybe not this one.

When you guys go below 2.5, I know it's bad!

Are you guys gonna review Dahmer on Netflix? I'm interested on your thoughts

Clearly, I can skip this one. Thank you for saving me.

wasn't there going to be a strangers on the train remake with ben afflek at some point? that would still be a good movie if done well.

I actually really loved this. I see it was somewhat inspired by Cruel intentions and the twist was unexpected

the trailer made more sense than the movie

Pass!!!

Here’s the thing about most teen movies for me. I’m not the target audience but I’ll watch them and they’re fine. But only a few like Clueless, Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You, etc are actually good and rewatchable as an adult.

I thought it would be dark and witty…it was neither of these things…I knew I would love the review from there on.

Nick makes a lot of references I just don't get but then here comes Joseph with the Andrea Zuckerman reference. It's a shame this movie sucked cuz it could have been a fun moody revenge film.

The song at the end they were singing didn’t make sense. They are not making sense with her signing up corp

It’s definitely a real fear for a girl’s reputation to be destroyed by a leaked video in high school. Still. The lesbian stuff is harder to believe since LGBTQIA+ clubs and stuff are more normalized now. I wonder if this is current? Maybe if this were in the 90’s.

The name should have been named “First World Problem” 🧐

I thought the Max guy looked like 30 year old and Maya Hawke looked kinda weird. I don't think she looks as good as her parents. All the opulence was pretty annoying but I really expected pretty much Strangers on a train plot so the twist surprised me.

I actually think most actors choose certain scripts to earn easy money and not do much work, that's what this movie feels like rich people who pretend they care but don't and just love the idea of destroying people.

All the raves for this on Twitter just confirms that Twitter is dominated by teenagers.

The movie is certainly a lot but if you look at the decisions through a teenage girl’s perspective it’s believable…once I realized it was a tribute to 90’s teen movies I did that and it instantly got less ridiculous to me.

Maia Raficco 💜

i cant be the only 1 who felt the trailer was vetter than the actual film?

this had a really weak plot. did not like it.

Why the iguana? Now I want my iguana to wear pink!

I’m confused by this review. Did we watch the same movie? I feel like all of the points you made were addressed. They explain that in high school, girls get disproportionate hate for even minor infractions but cis men get off with little to no punishment. They explain that in HS, teenagers don’t always think rationally. They show you the problems of women not believing women and falling into the patriarchy. They also mention that they grew up on 90s teen movies which explains some of the music. I just feel like this was a pretty fun movie and it had a few errors but for the most point it actually was more poignant than I thought it would be. It addresses patriarchy, female friendships, the differences in backlash for straight cis gendered white boys and the rest of the world, and how characters can be flawed but it might not justify all of the hate that they get. I usually enjoy your reviews but this one didn’t hit the mark.

Not the makeover being worse 😆 Also, I’m so sick of seeing actor’s kids becoming famous

Thanks!
