A bad movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, it is one of those rare movies which, while I was watching it, I was constantly wondering how on Earth it did actually end up in my queue. The fact that it turned out to be so lame made this choice even more dubious and I have to admit that I was already skeptical from the moment I saw the ‘Nickelodeon’ logo when the movie started. Then, within a few mins, it became clear that they did dare cast Victoria Justice and Jane Levy as supposedly two losers in high-school which was just ridiculous. Seriously, either you make them play some really popular girls or you hire someone completely different who might looked more convincing for these characters. So, pretty much from the start, the damned thing was rather hopeless and, to be honest, it never really got better afterwards. Indeed, even though Wren and Roosevelt were obviously meant to end up together, Victoria Justice and Thomas Mann had basically no chemistry whatsoever. Concerning the jokes, like the rest of the movie, it was also rather pathetic, I’m afraid. The tone was also seriously uneven. Indeed, even though it was a Nickelodeon feature and even though it did seem to be targeting young children, some jokes were actually much more adult oriented. The whole sub-plot about Chelsea Handler’s character dating a young man only 10 years older than her daughter was a really good example. Anyway, to conclude, even though my rating might seem to be harsh and I have to admit that it was rather harmless but, even so, I just didn’t care at all about the damned thing and I think you should probably avoid it.
