First off, give Jenna Ortega all of the awards and praise for this performance. She was so so good. I’ve seen/liked her in smaller parts here and there, but this was such a strong part that I’m excited to see what she does next.
Second, there’s nothing that takes me out of a high school movie faster than unrealistic dialogue or references that are trying too hard. Thank god this movie didn’t do either…
