i think it’s time we end the stigma that all netflix teen movies are bad because this was surprisingly really good. sure, when it comes to movies like the kissing booth, we have our exceptions but this was a solid crowd pleaser and there’s really no point of hating on this film without any reason.

we must protect auli’i cravalho AT ALL COSTS

Make a movie about the Korean divas instead.

the moral of the story is that if you're homeless you should just learn how to be an extremely talented singer and then you don't have to be homeless anymore

don't get fooled, this is a dog movie!!

“Life is so much more complicated than you think baby.”

turns into a bit of a misery porn piece after the halfway point, which i find a real pity because the first part was shaping up towards a good angle to tackle themes of poverty etc for family audiences. still, its heart is mostly in the right place and Brett Haley continues to be an afficionado for stories driven by music (though it’s mainly one song here that doesn’t get milked nearly enough haha). i think he just doesn’t work well with studio-overseen YA adaptations because this and All the Bright Places are both very formulaic and cheesy while Hearts Beat Loud was such a genuine, original banger. 

Auli’i Cravalho is absolutely RADIANT though, her contagious happy-go-lucky smile belongs into every movie and she makes the protagonist the strong, heartfelt centerpiece she should be.

Brett Haley sure directs a lot of films. Auli’i Cravalho is good, but other than that this is no Hearts Beat Loud. Not bad but lacks the magic.

A film that thinks the only way to be an uplifting teen drama is to lean so much into misery and poverty porn that it's basically a self parody at times, all the while romanticizing the idea of lifting yourself out of homelessness through some unique hidden talent...Brett Haley what happened :(

GRADE: C

Bobby Big Boy the whole movie: 👁👅👁

***Ringo star voice***

I guess you could say we're all together now

tempted to give it 5 stars for souvenir by boygenuis being in the soundtrack

La encontré bastante monótona y aburrida.

Definitely a little too melodramatic for my liking but covered a lot of issues that many movies shy away from, and they did it in a 90 minute timeframe. Auli’i Cravalho is fantastically talented and definitely shines in this movie.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Petition for Netflix to add two new categories to its film section: 

Actually good teen films (where this film happily falls into) 
&
God awful teen films

i was really apprehensive with watching this movie because i just felt like it was gonna be another forgettable teen movie with bad acting. this is actually what it dealt with:

- teens struggling with homelessness and poverty
- family problems (abuse / alcoholism)
- grieving losing a loved one
- a diverse friend group of all different ethnicities and also including a friend in a wheelchair and a friend on the spectrum
- actually refreshing good acting by teens and adults

is it still semi cheesy at some parts? absolutely. is it worth watching? yes !!

A solid YA drama. I have to go back and knock a half star off the previous film I watched because it'd be unfair to give both films the same score. This one is clearly had some actual depth to it. Yes it was a tad on the manipulative side. I held firm though until the sick pet. My Tessie was taken too soon 😿.

Not a must watch by any means and at times heavy 🧀, but I enjoyed it.

Watching this movie was more stressful than any semester of college

Is this melodramatic teen trash? Perhaps 

Does trash day have to happen once a week? Absolutely

Also starring Carol Burnett!  About a out of luck talented teenager who finds true gifts in her friends

Oh this movie was so sad.
I wasn't expecting that.
For many reasons, i empathize with Amber.
So, for me, this was difficult to match.
But it was a good movie. Sweet and precious.
