So much average
hyped garbage
The acting in this movie is really good.
It's the last few weeks of school before four best friends go off on their own. Lily (Lucy Hale) is student body president organizing prom. Chloe (Kathryn Prescott) is still struggling with the loss of her brother one year later but Lily may be worst. Lily is going to Columbia and expects Chloe to go to NYU. Along with Amelia (Alexandra Shipp) and Rebecca (Awkwafina), they party and smoke weed. Noah (Alex Wolff) has a crush on Lily.I think this is trying to be a darker teen drama with humor for the modern girl. It's a struggle to get the mixture right. The comedy doesn't come off since there is the underlying sadness from the very beginning. Lily's dark abandonment issues need to be spelled out clearly and set up for later payoff. It seems to be the central issue but the movie struggles to bring it out. The good acting saves a lot of this but it's filmmaker Olivia Milch's first feature. There are good aspects and also ones that are lacking. If the audience is to care about Lily and Thomas, it would help to see their relationship. They could have a scene at the beginning with the couple talking about her losing her dad. It's a necessity. This is a valiant first attempt but it is undeniably a first attempt by a newbie.
This movie didn't really make sense to me. It was going in too many different directions and i felt like the same things could happen even if the brother and love interest didn't die in the beginning. It was pretty pointless. It wasn't horrible but it needed a bit more. when thats said it was actually an okay cast with some well known people in it, like Lucy Hale, Austin Butler and Alex Wolff. So if you dont expect too much from a movie then you could probably like this one.
As a 16 year old high school kid, I throughly enjoyed this movie, despite its many negative and 1 star reviews. I felt a connection to the whole facet of growing up, as it is one of the parts of high school and of being a teenager i think about the most. I found a lot of the aspects about being a young adult very relatable, and brought back a lot of memories and even gave me some insight of the last years of my schooling. For a kid who loves these type of 'coming of age' movies, as it is a very prominent part of my life, I really enjoyed Dude and Lucy Hale, and have already recommended it to some of my close friends as I feel like they will feel the same.
This popped up on Netflix so I gave it a try. This movie is basically a 90 minute montage of 4 teenage girls doing drugs, having sex, masturbating or talking about doing so. The actual "plot" is supposed to be the girls coping with a death of the brother of one girl/bf of another and preparing to leave high school for college. But that feels completely shoehorned in. It may have been good if they put focus on the actual plot and not going for sensationalism. Really, it's just the sex and drugs. Not worth it at all unless you just want to watch the actresses on screen.
