| A good watch, if you go in knowing what it is (by mad_mike1211) |
| I'll start with what you need to expect..This film is meant to be an easy watch high school comedy adventure. Which is exactly what it is. If you go in with this mindset, This is actually a really good film.There are many new faces in the film, Sophie turner Also plays Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones is really good in this. She shows how versatile she can be in a different sort of role. Hailee Steinfeld is also great as the main character in this. I think she does a good job in the action role but is also pretty funny too. There are a few other big names in this film too with some <more> |
| Light-hearted and silly, but definitely cute (by nikol-532-752834) |
| This is an easy little movie for those who want something silly, but not the usual way. It is true, what most people said about the movie being full of clichés, but I don't think that is a mistake here. Those clichés are a source of humour here, they jump at you and you ARE meant to notice them and not to take them seriously. Even the characters themselves go against some of them cheerleaders, or the bathroom "actor" scene, anyone? which makes the whole movie quite enjoyable. And the relationship between Hardman and the little girls? It's so cute and funny, it made me <more> |

| Great (by missc35) |
| Loved this movie keeps you interested all the way through it. Loved all the actors an it was very well played. A happy feeling movie just makes you love all the cast. Great for watching with Family would definitely recommend it to my friends and family. It is a teen movie and very girlie but I think everyone would enjoy it. An extremely good cast they have put together. Great music and outfits. At the end I am not sure if they are trying to say there will be another movie or not but it seemed that way to me and I will be watching if there is a second one. I certainly hope they will make <more> |
| A great movie, nonetheless (by cogeorge-17949) |
| I believe this movie has a nice story line: a teenage girl missing out on the trends of adolescence and wants to be a part of it; and great casting: Hailee Steinfeld, Jason Drucker, Dove Cameron and Thomas Mann to name a few who did a fine job. I expected funny moments, and there were funny moments, actually funnier than I expected, and such as are peculiar to high school.Megan Steinfeld thought she could eventually be the best student at Newton High School as she was at Prescott, but realizes it's not as easy adjusting to it's highs and lows in just a few days or weeks. Jason <more> |
| A feel-good movie that is very charming and entertaining (by Pheeke) |
| People don't seem to like this movie and i'm not sure why. yes it's formulaic, yes it's cliché, but I still think it's fun! What can i say, i'm a sucker for girly teen movies.This film is very predictable, but I like that it's a mix between a high school movie and an action/spy movie. there is not a lot of character development but I still liked the characters and I understood their motives. Samuel L. Jackson's was hilarious as Hardman and Hailee Steinfeld was well cast as the main character Megan Walsh.For me there where laugh-out-loud moments, I think the <more> |
| Pretty great movie (by hekiv) |
| SPOILERS! If you aren't into the whole "this is about a serious topic and yet it's funny" then this isn't the movie for you. This is another one of these typical teenage movies where you would think it's a Disney movie if it wasn't for all the swearing and sexual innuendos.However, there is no real action in this movie, even if it's about assassins. It's more about a girl trying to be normal. Like a lot of other teen movies.But still pretty good, and for those who have been raised by foster families, this movie might hit them a little to close to home. <more> |
| Great movie (by mikeyman-23575) |
| Great movie! Some really funny moments, a good film overall. Great performance from Dove Cameron. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. A good teen movie. Although it's not realistic, but then how often is any movie realistic, it keeps you interested the whole way through. Jessica Alba and Samuel L. Jackson are the two most experienced actors in this movie, and both of them put in brilliant performances. Funny cameo from Steve-o. Many Laugh out Loud moments throughout. Samuel L.Jackson plays the Prescott leader very well, cold but also funny and thoughtful. Dove Cameron plays the <more> |
