Getting There (2002)
Amongst all the 1 and 2 star reviews...
I realize I'm going to be the odd one out here, but come on guys, it's a kids' movie. I was 9 years old when this movie came out, and I loved it. I mean, sure the acting is cheesy, and the plot is unrealistic (come on, a bunch of 16-year-old new drivers on a road trip without parents?), but the constantly twisting plot, especially the bit about the stolen car, keeps things interesting.
Eighth Grade (2018)
Middle schoolers in all of their awkward glory
Most reviewers have given this a super low rating for being awkward and painful to watch, and THAT WAS EXACTLY THE POINT. Middle school is awkward, especially when you struggle with being social. Kayla has social anxiety, but she tries to portray confidence on social media. She is, however, rather uneloquent in her videos, which get very few views. Most people are faking confidence, and some people do a better job than others, and that's okay. Be you.
The only problem I really have is the sound editing. I was unable to see the movie in the theatre, so I am watching it on my home TV. The "background" music is so loud that the dialogue is almost drowned out, and the other music is just too loud compared to the quiet speaking parts.
