To summarize this movie; A high school girl manipulates everyone around her so she can go to Harvard. In the end she's cheered as a hero for it. Meanwhile, all the men in the show (Besides the two gay guys. Who make a great couple.) also manipulate people around them but are viewed as villains. Even the romantic love interest, who only lies about where he lives, is viewed as a villain even though he wanted the same thing as the protagonist. The protagonist knows everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, at the beginning of the movie. She does not grow at all.

The only thing that saves this movie from being worse than Melissa McCarthy's Life of the Party is the badass musical number and Gaten Matarazzo's performance toward the end of the movie.

However, I do recommend all men watch this so that when they talk to women they can notice the body language that women give off when trying to manipulate them. The acting dumb, the over-interested smile when you talk about your interests, and of course the flip of the hair or lipstick adding when they speak to you so it looks like they want to be with you. Women are just as two-faced as men are, never not know.

There are three reasons I didn't give this movie one star. The first, the actors looked like they were trying so so hard to give good performances, which they did do in the dancing department that is. The second is because the grandma was amazing, the only character I truly resonated with. The last reason is because the cinematography was truly on point. Everything else, the directing, the writing, the story, and the actors themselves was flat out terrible. There's characters calling themselves ugly and stupid when each and everyone of them good be freaking victoria secret models. The songs were repetitive and the reasons for why the characters wanted to leave the heights felt so so stupid.

I didn't mind when they removed Pepe Le Pew, I didn't mind when they made Lola Bunny less awesome then what she was in the original Space Jam, and I didn't mind the horrifying names they chose for the Rebooted Monstars. However, what I did mind was the fact they took away the classic 2-d animation and made the cartoons real. That was terrible. I did mind when they basically made every freaking call back they could to the first movie while also throwing in every other product that WB has in their pocket. And I did mind that WB decided to go with freaking Lebron James, China's superstar and all around dipstick. There are so many better, more refined basket ball players then the Loser of the Lakers. You want comedy, go watch the original. You want love between a father and son, go watch The Judge. You want Looney, get HBO MAX and watch the classics, it'll be cheaper then spending the $50-60 it'll cost to take your family out to see this doodle disaster.
