Could’ve capitalized SO much more on the theme of brainy, socially-stunted, awkward outcasts trying to fit 5 years of teenage fun into one night, but it totally missed its mark. Could’ve been much, much funnier, and the pudgy girl’s character could’ve been so much more likeable without changing the bit of friendship dynamic drama that was played out. At first, she seemed to be like a female Jonah Hill in the Jump Street movies, which would’ve worked perfectly for this. Instead, I felt no sympathy for her character and wanted her to fail. I think I just didn’t like the character, but maybe I also didn’t like the actress. I’m not sure. But the scene-stealer is definitely the character, Gigi/Triple A, who was a scream. I don’t know who she is, but her looks and mannerisms remind me of a cross between Blake Lively and Bri Larson. If it hadn’t been for her, I would’ve not bothered watching through to the end. Thank you, uploaders.
