Nobody can convince me this isn’t a comedy
Emo teen classic
When the new girl cliche enters the class for the first time and the teacher talks in a wildly unrealistic fashion about “sit next to the boy you find the cutest” and the cliche bully gives her that (meant to be good acting and not forcefully bad for comedy) grin and nod, I couldn’t help burst out laughing. What the fuck.
The acting from the side character in certain parts was so cringe. Plenty of times in the movie that shouts IM SPEAKING FROM A SCRIPT - sounds so unnatural.
Not sure why people wank over this movie. Think it’s just to be part of the crowd and feel included.
