Look, this is what it is: a forgettable teen rom-com that teens seem to like (87% audience score) but critics rightfully dragged (39% RT). If your high schooler wants to watch it with friends on a Friday night, fine—it's harmless fluff with some friendship themes and standard teen comedy content (innuendo, parties, relationship angst).
But let's be real: the 2.6 Letterboxd and 5.2 IMDb ratings tell the story. This is paint-by-numbers prom panic with zero originality. It won't teach anything, won't be remembered next week, and won't hold up to rewatching. It's the cinematic equivalent of eating an entire bag of chips—satisfying in the moment, gone instantly, and you're vaguely ashamed afterward.
If your teen is looking for a better coming-of-age rom-com, point them literally anywhere else. If they just want background noise while scrolling their phone? Sure, this'll do.
