This movie was a close shot to a relatable romcom for and about teenagers. I assume that it was supposed to be awkward and silly, but a lot of the scenes were just unnecessary and made me ask why they were even included. In many scenes, there's unnecessary dialogue, like Avery telling her whole class that she "popped her cherry," and there was no humor or any reaction from anybody else but her. She's an unrealistic girl who acts just about the same as a robot would, and is incredibly oblivious to the world around her and has the biggest superiority complex I've ever seen. What happened to her long distance boyfriend? Why does Avery interrupt as many classes that Larson is in to either spill out her feeling or just make things awkward? And there's a whole scene where a girl has an orgasm by humping her damn chair. Were they running out of ideas and just needed some filler scenes to elongate the movie? Also, just to put it out there, the synchronized swimming sex scenes? Yikes. This felt like I was watching a sad episode of Family Guy rather than a teen romcom that came out this year.

overall unsatisfying and irritating?
Short intriguing with a very poor ending
I'd rather watch friends with benefits over and over again..hated the ending waited a while to get a good 2022 movie and the first one I get to watch is a rewritten plot that's trash that's just messed up.
A teen sex-comedy with something to say
"Sometimes you have to learn to fail to grow."
"Well, you didn't fail. I mean, that's a B. And your grade won't be compromised with a 105 average."
Surprisingly charming and a film I wish was around when I was a teenager. Yeah, it's a little preachy but the fact that no other teen comedies focused on sex take the time to fully analyze themes like this has convinced me to overlook that.
I forgot Jake Short existed until I saw his face and it was like every single episode of ANT Farm flashed before my eyes. He's witty and engaging and probably gives one of the better performances in the film, besides the trio of Moms- including Fortune Feimster and Margaret Cho as divorced co-parents. Lead Mika Abdalla was good as well, but some of the more subtle traits of her character got lost along the way.
By far the biggest surprise is the direction. Talia Osteen really did a good job in making this C-level teen comedy- VERY reminiscent of the early 2000s- stand out in style and heart. The writing could have used some editing, but overall this could have been a roaring dumpster fire and I actually didn't mind it!
