Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

How sad is this?

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The humor is fast paced, cheeky, full of innuendo, clever and sweet. The language is full of metaphors and brilliant. They talk just like the people I hang around with. The comedy delivery and acting are wonderful. The plot is perfect for a high school story. I loved it. Just watch it and make up your own mind but I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

GBF. Gay Best Friend. I first saw this movie trailer on tumblr, and was so excited to watch it. I forgot about it until now! My feelings on this movie are mixed, but my emotions are mostly good. Pros of this movie: Fawcett's hair, makeup, and outfits: SO CUTE. She's amazing. The eye makeup of all three top prom queens is to die for! A under the radar popular cast: including actors from Faking It, Harry Potter, Pretty Little Liars, Orange is the New Black, Parks and Recreation.The one liners in this movie! "Carbs make gay people sparkle?" "this is our high school's LGB.... T... A... Q... and every other letter you can think of inclusive prom!"The great storyline - while weird at times, it was an enjoyable watch!The friendships between Tanner and Fawcett, and Caprice and Brent.The soundtrack is also pretty great - I died when Tegan and Sara's Closer came on!The sets are pretty great. Brent's room was totally the coolest thing ever. How at high schools some guys bully the gay guy and some girls stand up for them. I also feel like there should have been more out there lesbians. ("Why not both?")Cons of this movie: DO THEY END UP TOGETHER???? I feel like there should've been more couple-y moments between Brent and Tanner. I kinda wish they did get together if they didn't.Acting of Brent and Tanner's Sophie Hawking's friend - I kinda felt like she was forcing out her lines in her scenes. Sometimes I felt like that with a few others' lines.The representation of Mormons - uhhhhh. what. I personally am a Mormon and felt kinda iffy about the way we were represented. I feel like whoever put the Mormon thing together obviously only knew bits and pieces about us: 'Shley's skirts?? We don't wear skirts above the knee. All the jokes about her trying to make out with the guy she thought was gay???? Was Evanna Lynch supposed to be Mormon cause she failed at that too. Pretty sure we also wouldn't picket the prom. I dunno. There are gay Mormons out there - I know, but I don't think they jump every gay guy. I felt if they had just left it at "Christian" I wouldn't have been offended.The storyline was a bit weird at times - I feel like there were things they could have explained or dwelt on a little more.The opening scene went on FOREVERRRRRR.Overall: Great movie to watch, normalises gay culture for teens, terrible representation of some stereotypes, one liners to die for, and great outfits. Love it.

This movie is very well made,never apologizing for anything, and why should it? There is a very unPCness delivered by an excellent cast who are all fully committed to the story, and a very well written story it just happens to be. Mean girls to the extreme, and full of tongue in cheek real life truthful feelings. The entire movie has great background, and the entire screen is filled very well most of the time, so you may Enjoy this a second time. Over all I really did like this movie, It started out kind of corny, but then the characters just fell into place, and they all start to become more real, and vulnerable. More of the truth begins to slip out before it all hits the floor. So I would recommend this for Mothers to watch with their Sons, and for others to just watch it, there is a lot of good humour in here, and a good feeling or 2 to be had as well.

I was really expecting this to be offensive and irritate the gay out of me. But, the film was actually amazing and after two viewings I can honestly say it will go down as one of my favourite films ever!It's full of laughs, satire, sass, great music, great styling and (most importantly) great acting. Sasha Pieterse steals the movie though. She's coming for Hollywood sometime soon and will be huge in a few years - I can feel it. Michael J Willett wasn't so bad either, playing the awkward and shy gay guy really well and making me fall for his character very easily!This film will make you smile and certainly put you in a good mood. And that's all it was designed to be. Sure, it delivers a great message, but don't expect some Oscar winning cinematic masterpiece. Take it for what it is, and you'll love it. A lot. So grab some popcorn, invite your friends around, hit the lights, sit back and enjoy a night in with this hilarious movie :)Fans of Mean Girls, Easy A, She's The Man, Clueless etc will enjoy.PS: It's a 9 instead of a 10 simply because I felt Mrs Van Camp was underused. That's all!
