As a certified gay, I was very excited for this movie, but unfortunately, it falls kinda flat. You can tell it was written by people who have been out of touch with high schoolers for quite some time, but if you can look past that, it's not too bad.
Auli'i Cravalho also outshines the rest of the cast by far - if this movie was an argument for her to get better roles, I'd believe it. The discrepancies between her performance and Rowan Blanchard's were distracting at times. But, overall, it's a cheesy teen romance, nothing more or less. I can't say I'd recommend it for its content, but if you just want something cheesy, it's an okay watch.
