First of all: This movie is very cheesy and I kind of liked that. It really captured the vibes of the movies it pays homage to. The dialogue and the acting are both pretty weak and over the top at times but I still enjoyed myself.

I really liked the little twist that starts off the third act revealing Eleanor as this damaged revenge thirsty bitch and I thought that was great. But unfortunately that's when the movie took a very problematic turn in it's moral.

The end of the movie basically leaves you with the message that it's okay to destroy other people's lifes ... as long as you're a female. I mean neither Eleanor nor Drea have to face actual consequences for what they did. Sure that Max was an asshole and he deserved the hate he got. What bothers me is that he is the only one who actually pays for all his wrongdoings.

Drea and Eleanor drugged a bunch of stundents - no consequences. They leaked privat messages that exposed an asshole but also a lot of other people (who may haven't been all that innocent themself but still a pretty toxic action) - no consequences. They made a girl who laughed about Drea's video (like basically everyone else) look like a drug addict and completely ruined her future, sending her to therapy and literally destroyed her - no consequences. Drea crushed Eleanor's self esteem and accused her of being a predator sending her to years of therapy - no consequences (at least none that lasted very long).

After all this stuff Max really looks like the nice guy here but in the end he's the big baddie of course. While Drea and Eleanor live happily ever after. Eleanor gets her girl back for whatever reason, Drea gets her boy back although she destroyed the life of a friend of him and drugged him. But all is forgiven because she wrote him a big I'M SORRY and that's it.

Drea even gets her chance back to go to her favorite college but to show the audience that she really changed she declines.

I really wish that this movie would've been more mature besides all it's cheesiness. It's not a movie you shouldn't take serious but treating all the toxic behaviour like it's something you just talk about to make it disappear (although they don't even talk about it with some people and still get out of their problems just fine) leaves a very bitter taste.

This movie could've been much better if our main characters actually would've face consequences for their actions but they didn't. Ironic, since this movie pays homage to Cruel Intentions and even features Sarah Michelle Gellar (best part of the movie btw) but the writers didn't seem to have understand the ending which actually shows the consequences for revenge and manipulation in a very good and profound way. If the ending of this movie would've been more inspired by Cruel Intentions it would've been so much better.

So in the end it's a fun movie with a big let down in the end and it's really sad because this movie really had more potential.

The movie is confusing at first and then becomes clear in the Max diatribe at near the end. The show is totally high school rich teen spirit bull and all the puppy love, cattiness, and social media aspect of life. It's a movie about plans to tear down people and the wealthy aspect of living on parents money.

The set design is great as is the costuming. I loved all the very colorful aspects of the clothing.

Maya Hawke looks just like her mom and I was drawn to watching this show because of her naivety... and then she wasn't....

Overall, enjoyable and just another chick flick that finally shows what pigs rich men or sons of rich men can be ....

I was watching the movie thinking "yeah this is alright for a Netflix movie. Entertaining enough." And then the ending happened. Drea randomly exposes Eleanor as 'Nora' to the friend group. They all make fun of her for a minute and then Nora runs off crying and Drea runs after her to apologize. Like...why are you apologizing to a psychopath? Nora literally hit you with a car and put you in the hospital. She destroyed your future. She destroyed your social standing. Yet you felt bad for exposing her? And then you make up and become friends in the end? This was....beyond unrealistic. Who the hell forgives someone who purposely hit you with their car? The movie should have ended with Eleanor ending up in jail or in a psych ward because she is a certified psychopath.

Went in expecting at least a cheap version of Heathers but got the Cruel Intentions 2.0 vibe but without any deaths added in. Loved the croquet scene settled in the middle but the unexpected twist (there were several) were awesome if not a bit expected at times. I thought Drea would be the eternal mean girl. She was but she did it for the Revenge. Eleanor I thought would be the downfall but surprisingly saved the day. Camilla Mendes and Maya Hawke were amazing. The clothes were over the top and channeled Cluless. Short skirts, bright colors and sweaters even took me back to the jocks and cheerleaders in Revenge of the Nerds, a bit much. Overall not bad and filled with nostalgia.

I had a hard time getting into this movie! The similarities to Clueless was just too much and it felt like it was mocking all the movies I liked during my teenage years.

There was so much I disliked and that didn't work; I don't know where to begin! The movie itself felt mean and degrading & so much of the humor fell flat.

I went into it with very little expectations, yet it still only delivered on a couple scenes. One hour in is the best scene with Sophie Turner and I don't even think you need to watch the prior hour for context!

Maya is great. She carried the plot and all the emotions. Can't say I was impressed with the movie and my opinion is one of indifference.
