Disappointing
Thought this was made in the early 2000s based on its tone-deaf tenor
"I know I'm not a real woman, my shoes don't hurt, I like math" is an actual line from this embarrassingly sexist, small-minded film. I haven't looked it up, but this was either written by an oblivious man (likely) or a self-hating woman. Whatever this film thought it was doing, glorifying things the writer associates with being "male" that "real women" don't do/don't get -- even though they are gender-neutral things like enjoying math -- is hateful toward women in an attempt to make the lead actress seem "so not like other girls." And you might think, "It's a romcom, it's not that deep." It is actually that deep. These media depictions are damaging. And honestly, who is this romcom targeting? What audience was so pick-me, they were like, "YES, I FEEL SEEN. The only way to feel good about myself is to tear down anything perceived to be feminine." I shut it off after about fifteen minutes. Maybe it comes back around and it doesn't make you feel nauseated, but it wasn't worth the gastrointestinal distress in the interim. Glad this has clearly done so poorly, as the world is better off with less exposure to it.
Slow Start
Starts off kinda slow, with a scenes that are not all that necessary for the story. The main characters participate in LARP, I think these scenes could be cut without affecting the story line, though they add some comedy to the story.
Main story line, is relatable to so many people. Maybe we have all felt rejected or "unmatchable" at some point in our lives. Love comes in unexpected places and most importantly just be yourself. This is a movie for the "unmatchables" and those that have trouble fitting in sometimes. We all need a posse and people that have our back regardless of what the situation is.
