A comedy about personal liberation without much heart

Max releases on its platform a youth comedy about the liberation of feelings, gender and friendship that is fun and fulfilling, but that does not propose any intention beyond the superficiality of the themes and the colorful world.Directed by Jordan Weiss and starring Kiernan Shipka, Nico Hiraga and Caleb Hearon, we embark on a story about friendship and a kind of romantic comedy that ends up not being such, but rather a film about identity and friendship that delivers a couple of pleasant moments with a message of inclusion and respect that will reach a specific audience that will probably enjoy it with great enthusiasm.It is a buddy comedy that works in several parts, due to the chemistry of its protagonists and the affection they put into dealing with the issues addressed in the script. This effort allows us to have a pleasant film that is not boring, but which, however, does not offer much novelty and even loses a bit of strength if we consider that it has a pleasant start, which later fades away as we add more stories to the path of its leading duo.Although the film has clear intentions, they are not fully completed, beyond the fact that its protagonists end up providing a charming charisma with which as spectators we enjoy that everything is positive around them, but at certain moments its script lacks a bit of energy and intrepidity that prevent this story from reaching its full potential that it promises to have at the beginning.In any case, it is a correct comedy for current times and for current generations in which they will feel identified with more than one character or with more than one subplot that its script addresses.A comedy about love, friendship and identity.

Booksmart did it better at "Superbad for modern audience"

I was reading the previous reviews and noticed peoples mentioning "When Harry met Sally". I never saw that movie so i can't really compare them, but for me this felt like a toned down Superbad injected with useless woke stuff. Let me explain.So you got 2 characters that go on a night of mischiefs, trying to acomplish a certain goal, but adventure happens to them. At the same time, another character is seperated from the group and goes on his own personal quest. Inject parties, boose and lust in there, and you have a formula getting very close to the afformentioned Superbad... exept its nowhere executed as well.For a start the movie is very tame. Someone called it a "raunch-com", and maybe for today's standard it could be, but as a huge fan of this genre from the 2000s up until mid 2010s, it is VERY light on the raunch.And of course you got some "woke stuff" injected in there to remind us of "current days" ... seriously Hollywood, you need to stop with this.You got that side character Palmer going on a completely absurd and improbable side story. I didn't mind his journey as being gay in itself, its just so poorly executed and the "love interest" is basically an 8 or 9 out of 10 while the guy is like a 1 or 2... Everytime it switched to that character i was rolling my eyes how absurde it was.Thanksfully the 2 main characters were more interesting, especially Ben. When it comes to Kiernan Shipka, i am still on the fence about her as an actress. I have not watch Sabrina yet, so ill have a better idea when i do. She was fine in this, but i feel she has a good comedy potential but the roles need to tap more into that potential. Also it may be just a coincidence, but she seem to lean into woke movies a bit (Totally Killer for instance).Overall its not a bad movie, but its just lacking something. Its not funny enough to be a great comedy, its not romantic enough to be a great romance, it tease into the raunch but never really go deep enough, and overall you do feel a bit the "padding" to make it a full feature film.With all that said, i did enjoyed some parts, i wasn't bored per say, and the cringe woke parts were not "overly cringy" to be offensive, just the movie would had been better without them. Ill still give it a 6 out of 10.

Had no business being this bad

Usually I find myself saying that a movie had no right to be this good. With 'Sweethearts' it's a case of the moving having no right to be this bad. The film created some great characters and then gave them absolutely nothing to do.This is a film that was unable to justify its existence. If your entire plot is just tracking down your significant other to break up with them in time for Thanksgiving, chances are you haven't put enough effort into your script.The film started so well. As I mentioned some great characters, with some talented actors in the roles, and even some funny physical comedy. And then it just stopped. The movie stopped trying to be funny and it stopped being interesting in any sense. It's like they blew the comedy budget in the first 20 minutes. Quite bizarre. 5/10.
