It's so unrealistic that Addison's character's followers would just abandon her for getting cheated on. In reality, they'd try to get some dirt on her douchebag ex.
it was the stupidest plot point , so she threw muffins at her cheating boyfriend and her sus as girl friend ? cried about it got snot in her nose? and that lost her followers???? absolutely no one would do that.
Ok, but Lainey was the original "not like other girls" so it makes sense that her male counterpart in this one is basically Jughead, the male version of "not like other girls"
I don't know if Lainey's performance art should be labeled as good. Love her but it's just like Cameron's stuff, it's trying to be deeper than it is. It's very on-brand for art kids in high school. I say this as a former theatre kid 😂
Dude yes it WAS a bonding moment, jeez, it was just some good "clean" fun, since horse **** is pretty clean. It's mostly just grass! Don't be weird about them throwing horse poop at each other, it's actually very loving and sweet.
Oh my gOODNESS these replies can’t be serious. My partner literally did equestrian all throughout high school, and I can’t tell you how much I hated picking up Watson’s shit. The smell isn’t even the worst part… it’s just sO MUCH.
I feel like if they just changed the line "you're hot now; get used to it" to something along the lines of "people finally realize how hot you are; get used to it" , this wouldn't have come off as so shallow
YES like the characters that get made over have always been hot. They’re literally the same person. They just are wearing makeup or have a new hairstyle or something. It’s so shitty that these movies try to say that conforming ti beauty standards is the only thing that makes people hot. Like NO THEYVE BEEN HOT THW WHOLE TIME

One thing I liked about this movie is the part where Padget's friends are singing karaoke terribly, because the one girl is Myra Molloy, who is actually not an actor, she's actually a singer. And they hired her for this movie only to make her sing like that. Something about that is just hilarious to me.
I grew up on a ranch riding horses and I’ll be 100% honest with you when I say I HAVE NEVER LOOKED AT HORSE POOP AS IF IT WERE SNOW. Sooooo gross 🤮 Whoever wrote that scene is super out of touch with reality
Side note: the dance scene at prom kind of echoes the original, where the whole school does a perfectly choreographed dance, along with random cuts to Usher shouting ‘instructions’
Dude that's what I've been saying! I loved She's All That but they had a cringy dance scene and instead of influencers, they had the real world which is one of the cringiest reality tv shows.
What i liked about the dance on She's All That is that it was kinda good, it came out of nowhere but i actually enjoyed the dance. While He's All That had context on Padgett being on the dance team so it made sense, but it draged on for too long and the moves weren't as cordinated (since it was a 'dance battle') so it came of as boring.
@@caseyaonso4270 I feel like usher makes that scene, him giving names to the dancer’s moves as though they’re dancefloor classics is somehow so funny to me
Indeed. And it's almost hilarious when you realise that Quinn's actress, Myra Molloy, won "Thailand's Got Talent" at 13, and they made her sing horribly to make Addison sound better by comparison!
This is petty but I feel bad for Madison Pettis.. she’s been acting for YEARS like probably a decade and she was just “the corky best friend” in this 😒
okay wait no, lainey was a bit pretentious yes, but she was mostly introverted and straightforward. she wasn't gratuitous (also, she was also bullied). Cameron is plain mean, it's completely uncalled for and people just don't let it slide lmao.
Okay so when i watched the trailer, i really thought her acting was not the worst, like it was definitely bad but not the worst. Mainly because I remembered that tik tok Grey's Anatomy series and that was just garbage acting. But yeah they obviously picked the not so bad scenes for the trailer lmaoo.
Honestly, why did they make Cameron’s sister call him hot? Why couldn’t they have had his friend say something like “if I was straight I’d be all over you?” Or something like that. Or they could have just had his sister call him handsome, like you are aloud to call your siblings pretty/beautiful/handsome without it being weird…
It’s Kourtney’s acting for me 💀💀💀 like she was CLEARLY only casted to say ‘oh we have Kourtney Kardashian in our film look wow come see it wow!’ Cause chile….. yikes. That acting was… yikes.
i just laugh every time i see the clip of the two main characters trying to have that serious conversation. zero emotion, none, entirely empty, and it’s fucking hilarious
okay my acting notes as a theatre kid movie nerd are as follows: it kinda seems like addison blends in bc i think the director told everyone else to lean into the more meta, self-aware kind of corny acting that is typically used in satirical films, and then just had addison do her thing bc she kinda feels like she's taking herself seriously but no one else is, ESPECIALLY the guy who played her ex
First I want to say I’ve seen a few people talk about this movie but none of them made me laugh like you did. I’m actually going to disagree with you about the character development of Padget vs Zach. I think his story line of a cool football star who’s way too into his own ego makes so much sense for this story. The bet seems natural because Zach cares way too much about what his friends/ peers think to give a shit if the bet is cruel. He’s directionless, he goes with the life that’s expected of him, so he doesn’t branch out in the word to learn who he is. This allows one of the few really well done elements of the original to shine which is when he tries performance art to impress Laney and likes it. By the end of the movie he expresses to her that he’s even considering majoring in performance art. Padget’s only motivations are she is “poor” and wants to go to college. We don’t know anything about her beyond she is a beauty influencer who wants to go to college. I don’t know what she wants to do in college, what her passions are aside from influencing, and other than her sponsorship money i don’t know how being an influencer even effects her life. The bet doesn’t make any sense because this movie wants Padget to be the ultimate Mary Sue. She’s the nicest girl you ever did meet, without a flaw in the world beyond mucus. By the end of the movie padget doesn’t go to college and travels the world with Cameron. She’s never expressed a desire to travel, right up until the dance college is her only dream and goal.
My sister is a health influencer (she has a degree in it don't worry) and she spends a substantial amount of time filming, editing, thinking, and planning her posts and videos She made her pages about what she's actually passionate about: nutrition and health. And she's using it to advance her career as a dietician. I personally find it annoying, at least when we were living together. But she's one of my most ambitious siblings which is cool. Coincidentally she was also homecoming queen every year and prom queen. But she never had friends and is very introverted. So the entire time I was watching this movie I just kept comparing my sister (who is basically Padget) to Addison and found her very disappointing
Thank you. That’s the issues with so many movie remakes that do role reversals is that they never stay true to the original character traits. It reminds me of this book I read called “before I fall.” The main character in the book was an a-hole but by the end of the book she became a better person. However in the movie they tried to make her character seem perfect and Mary Sue from beginning to end and it’s like?!?!? I feel like they always do this with female characters. They always have to be perfect or likeable(to the point that they are bland or not likeable). Film producers fail to realize the reason why people like Regina George’s character so much is because she’s a B and she’s owns it. Lead female characters do not always have to be likeable or perfect.
i appreciate the fact that you decided to focus on more topics than "movie bad Addison bad" and that brings something else to the table in comparison to all those other videos on this film saying exactly that
I feel like movies like this conflate internet drama with high school drama and just write the internet in the same way as mass school group texts in earlier teen movies: The "Oh No!! The whole school knows I did XYZ!! My life is ruined!" but it's very different with fans/internet people you don't know VS people you grew up around your whole life and are your peers. Her losing followers feels just so unrealistic in the way the internet is today. Maybe her school would be shitty to her, but her followers are her fans and would generally defend her and the internet is much more sided in calling out scummy people like cheating boyfriends. Also YOU KNOW a lot of people online would come across this and think this whole thing was scripted anyway.
I feel like it would have been more likely for the internet to decide that the whole thing was scripted and lose her sponsorship that way than just being snotty in a video
For real. The only time internet drama came into real life was once back in hs, and that was because one of the popular girls tweeted at a bunch of people "you're ugly you should just k*ll yourself", and "if you're ugly you should just k*ll yourself", but it only lasted for a week because everyone remembered she was pretty
Wait her ex is supposed to be in high school? He looks like he should be _teaching_ high school before being fired and arrested for sleeping with one of his students... Fucking hell...
I kinda hate how mature they make ALL these characters look, like I honestly think it’s damaging how 17-18 year olds are continually played by people in their early 20s because a lot of growing up happens between those years and I know they’re more experienced actors but can we ever move on from setting these literally unrealistic standards for how kids should look
You’re right, they missed out on a lot of opportunities to explore deeper issues from all characters. The dance off was so cringe, and mostly seemed like arm movements? Like I wasn’t wowed by the athleticism of the dance team. Though it would never end. Also I just hated the title of the party…. I’d think F. Scott Fitzgerald is rolling in his grave at such an invocation.
at this point of society where no one is correctly using the term Gatsby Party, I'm pretty sure he's just slowly rotating like a 7/11 hot dog for like all of eternity
That part about highschool and influencers is such a mood. I mean, I'm not saying I'm perfect cuz' I know I was an annoying shit in high school, but I feel like influencer culture just amps up that part of people's personalities to like an eleven.
I watched the movie and honestly as someone who ended up in a highschool with kids that wear Gucci and think they’re famous on tik tok I have to say Cameron pre makeover was a legend. His character was super funny but not at all in the way the writers intended.
I absolutely love Shes All That therefore I refuse to watch this. I have no idea who any of the main characters are and I just cant watch it based off the trailer. So as a 31 year old absolutely in love with 90'S rom coms, thank you for letting me watch this through your hilarious commentary.
My biggest problem with the reboot is that after Netflix’s To All the Boys which had a POC as the lead to a movie about a white influencer with a token black (but not too black) and Asian friend is extremely frustrating. The amount of privilege in this movie that went un- acknowledged by everyone is just a huge letdown too. That’s why this movie is more towards the Kissing booth…
Casey: It's naive to think that the movie industry isn't biased on a good day. True. While I personally am not familiar with Addison at all, I can remember people getting angry when Kim Kardashian & Paris Hilton were in movies. As long as movies are dependent on money, using whoever they can for profit will just continue.
about the whole bias in the movie industry thing saying “this has always been like this so it’s not a big deal” isn’t really fair. Like it’s wrong, it has always been wrong and it’s happening more now so we should be mad about it and criticize it.
Her point was that people are hating on Addison, when in reality we should be hating on the entire movie industry because this is a common practise of theirs
I wish that during one of the "speaking my truth" at prom scenes would cut to some background characters like "Who is that?" "I think I have Chem II with her, can't remember her name though" As the main character subtweets everyone they wronged in the movie.
The influencer angle makes sense for today's culture, but the reason she "lost followers" does NOT make sense. Also, they tried way too hard to make her flawlessly sweet from the beginning. Instead of giving her a least a bit of some possible fame arrogance. Like in the movie Clueless, you want Cher to have a comuppance. You don't totally hate her, but she also has some blinders on about her own privilege. She has an arc/journey to go on I don't care that Padgett is poor (laughs looking at the huge house she had in the movie), there's arrogance that comes with ANY following on the internet, especially at a young age. But she's already beyond that and 'down to earth' in moment one in the movie. There's no journey of change to really go on.
The acting was literally so bad, why does Netflix love money over what their audience wants? They got rid of great shows just to make this horrible movie
This movie makes me think about when I talk to elementary schoolers about high school and what they think it is like. This is what high school is like for children that are 6 years old
Casey I’m usually having my dinner while watching your videos & I’ve come to realize I need to stop doing that because I keep choking on my food while laughing at your jokes 😭
I think this could be so much better. Like instead of her losing followers for getting cheated on it could be some controversy. Maybe not racism like it usually is (I think that topic is wayyyy more serious for it to be covered in a cheesy romcom), but IDK, facetuning photos for example. And instead of going along with the usual "makeover trope", the ending could be that she realizes how fucked up that is and changes the direction of her content, gets new followers, new brand deal. Using some side-trope she realizes college is important etc, etc. Ooooh this could be *SO* good. Maybe they thought that if it's too good, it won't be talked about on socials nearly as much. But it could still be cheesy and cringey teen stuff, so commentary chanels would talk about it. but if the storyline was actually good... oooh, imagine! It'd be so fun to watch commentary on that. Like "hey guys lets talk about this suuuper cringey teen movie, but... Plot twist, it actually talks about important stuff"
You know, the whole "if you don't tell him I will" thing that Madison pettis's character pulled really shouldn't have worked. Cus in theory if she tells the guy about the bet she should automatically forfeit and loose the bet, so Addison Rae could have just refused to have said anything and Madison couldn't have done anything or risk loosing the bet. I mean I know that's pretty much the whole thing that happened in the orginal but even in that I think the bet part of the movie was just kind dropped. Idk it's been a really long time since I've seen she's all that.
the whole plot line of addison's character pretending to be rich to fit in is actually really nice especially with the influencer thing, if it was explored well it could definitely have a very meaningful moral. it kinda reminds me of ladybirdand the scene where her rich friend finds out where she actually lives.
I don't know anything about Addison Rae but getting a tiktok star to play an influencer makes sense to me? She could've brought her real life experience to the role
I would love a link to the video about actors flooding voice acting. My favorite actor did really well in voice acting from 1996-2003 and still does World of Warcraft voices, so _some_ actors can also be good voice actors. (Actually, he worked with the late Tony Jay during that time as well, who is _also_ a traditional actor and did a bang up job)
@@makadray If you're asking who my favorite actor/VA is, it's Simon Templeman. If you're asking who Ton Jay is, he was one of the elder aliens in My Stepmother Is An Alien... And also the bad guy in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame lol (I think he was also Megabyte in Reboot, if I'm not mistaken)
I felt like Addison acting wasn't that bad cuz the character was very similar to how she portraits herself to the Internet? Like if the character was different from the Addison "energy" it would have been worst
Of all the nonsense with "not like other guys" guy who's all anti popular shit, I Can Not believe Teenage Dream one of thee most popular songs by Katy Perry a Popular Music singer was the straw that broke the camels back. I'm surprised he even knew the words Side note that After 2 fight was actually amazing and it made Tessa interesting for like, 30 seconds
Isn't a remake supposed to like improve on the concept while keeping what made it special in the first place, instead of, the opposite. If you make a remake, a good one accounts for people who are expecting and meeting the expectations of the original Otherwise what is the Point
@@ahhh4117 a remake just means that you’re taking a movie that’s already been made and making a new version with some changes. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to improve or be better than the first one, just different. The purpose of remakes is usually to “adapt” the original concept to either a different decade or a different culture. And then of course, like every movie, it’s meant to be good but obviously that’s not usually the case with remakes. Like you said, a good one meets the expectations of the original, this is a bad one, but it’s still a remake. And “the point” in Hollywood lately with the constant remakes is not to make quality tv but to make easy money. They take a loved movie to capitalize on nostalgia and get a famous influencer to star in it. Most teenagers don’t care if it’s good and will watch it because of all the promo and adults will hate watch it so ultimately, it’s just a strategy to make money.
I watched that video you linked a few weeks ago and I gotta agree. It's a good video. I also feel like a lot of VAs are having the same issues as to movie musicals - qualified actors are pushed aside in order for celebrities to take the stage... Some of which have never been in a movie musical before. I remember hearing Anthony Ramos auditioned for the movie and got rejected. This dude was in the OBC of *Hamilton.* And the movie suffered because a lot of them didn't know what they were doing and the performers led/orchestra followed. (Which is NOT HOW THAT WORKS.) Which, Sideways' video about the Cats movie musical does go into great detail about why the movie itself was a trainwreck. But anyway, I'm rambling. I think there is an issue within large movie studios in that they tend to push names over qualifications. I haven't seen this movie, but I can see why people would feel this way about it. It just stinks because a lot of talent is being pushed out because they know big names sell. 😔
Having Cameron’s sister call him hot was so weird??? I expect that kind of line to come from a Colleen Hoover book, the idea of ever calling one of my siblings “hot” genuinely makes me want to throw myself off a bridge, curl up in a corner and cry and maybe throw up all of my insides 😭😭

So Buchanan is pronounced Bew-Canon. I also horribly misprpunced this last name during a trivia game and have never lived it down.
Isn't it B-you-canon?
I had a teacher at my high school with that last name and he pronounced it like that.
@@thishappenstobehere same thing
Did u say buh-chan-non? Lol
I knew the pronunciation because of Marvel (Bucky) thankfully. Wasn’t there a president with that name?
i just laugh every time i see the clip of the two main characters trying to have that serious conversation. zero emotion, none, entirely empty, and it’s fucking hilarious
okay my acting notes as a theatre kid movie nerd are as follows: it kinda seems like addison blends in bc i think the director told everyone else to lean into the more meta, self-aware kind of corny acting that is typically used in satirical films, and then just had addison do her thing bc she kinda feels like she's taking herself seriously but no one else is, ESPECIALLY the guy who played her ex
Okay this is big brain
Wait this is so smart omg
First I want to say I’ve seen a few people talk about this movie but none of them made me laugh like you did. I’m actually going to disagree with you about the character development of Padget vs Zach. I think his story line of a cool football star who’s way too into his own ego makes so much sense for this story. The bet seems natural because Zach cares way too much about what his friends/ peers think to give a shit if the bet is cruel. He’s directionless, he goes with the life that’s expected of him, so he doesn’t branch out in the word to learn who he is. This allows one of the few really well done elements of the original to shine which is when he tries performance art to impress Laney and likes it. By the end of the movie he expresses to her that he’s even considering majoring in performance art. Padget’s only motivations are she is “poor” and wants to go to college. We don’t know anything about her beyond she is a beauty influencer who wants to go to college. I don’t know what she wants to do in college, what her passions are aside from influencing, and other than her sponsorship money i don’t know how being an influencer even effects her life. The bet doesn’t make any sense because this movie wants Padget to be the ultimate Mary Sue. She’s the nicest girl you ever did meet, without a flaw in the world beyond mucus. By the end of the movie padget doesn’t go to college and travels the world with Cameron. She’s never expressed a desire to travel, right up until the dance college is her only dream and goal.
My sister is a health influencer (she has a degree in it don't worry) and she spends a substantial amount of time filming, editing, thinking, and planning her posts and videos
She made her pages about what she's actually passionate about: nutrition and health. And she's using it to advance her career as a dietician.
I personally find it annoying, at least when we were living together. But she's one of my most ambitious siblings which is cool. Coincidentally she was also homecoming queen every year and prom queen. But she never had friends and is very introverted.
So the entire time I was watching this movie I just kept comparing my sister (who is basically Padget) to Addison and found her very disappointing
Thank you. That’s the issues with so many movie remakes that do role reversals is that they never stay true to the original character traits. It reminds me of this book I read called “before I fall.” The main character in the book was an a-hole but by the end of the book she became a better person. However in the movie they tried to make her character seem perfect and Mary Sue from beginning to end and it’s like?!?!? I feel like they always do this with female characters. They always have to be perfect or likeable(to the point that they are bland or not likeable). Film producers fail to realize the reason why people like Regina George’s character so much is because she’s a B and she’s owns it. Lead female characters do not always have to be likeable or perfect.
i appreciate the fact that you decided to focus on more topics than "movie bad Addison bad" and that brings something else to the table in comparison to all those other videos on this film saying exactly that
i can't think about she's all that without thinking about not another teen movie (which is one of my favourite movies )
I loved Chris evans in that
I’ve never even seen She’s All That but Not Another Teen Movie kills me every time I watch it, especially her paintings 😂
I feel like movies like this conflate internet drama with high school drama and just write the internet in the same way as mass school group texts in earlier teen movies: The "Oh No!! The whole school knows I did XYZ!! My life is ruined!" but it's very different with fans/internet people you don't know VS people you grew up around your whole life and are your peers.
Her losing followers feels just so unrealistic in the way the internet is today. Maybe her school would be shitty to her, but her followers are her fans and would generally defend her and the internet is much more sided in calling out scummy people like cheating boyfriends. Also YOU KNOW a lot of people online would come across this and think this whole thing was scripted anyway.
I feel like it would have been more likely for the internet to decide that the whole thing was scripted and lose her sponsorship that way than just being snotty in a video
For real. The only time internet drama came into real life was once back in hs, and that was because one of the popular girls tweeted at a bunch of people "you're ugly you should just k*ll yourself", and "if you're ugly you should just k*ll yourself", but it only lasted for a week because everyone remembered she was pretty
I thought it was interesting that the female is the lead in both versions of the movie, despite them being gender-swapped.
I totally didn't notice that, but it makes sense considering who the target audience (probably) is.
@@cnashford2 Yes, my thought as well!
Wait her ex is supposed to be in high school? He looks like he should be _teaching_ high school before being fired and arrested for sleeping with one of his students... Fucking hell...
bro when he showed up on a fucking horse i had to take my pillow and scream into it
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! TURN IT UP!
SAME
I kinda hate how mature they make ALL these characters look, like I honestly think it’s damaging how 17-18 year olds are continually played by people in their early 20s because a lot of growing up happens between those years and I know they’re more experienced actors but can we ever move on from setting these literally unrealistic standards for how kids should look
I mean Brin realistically looks 15/16
they named him cameron when he literally carries a camera around the entire movie
reminds me of that childrens story where the girl is name "cam" and shes obsessed with taking pictures w her "cam-era" lol

I haven’t been on Netflix in a while, so I didn’t even know they made a remake 😵💫
You're lucky, it's only been out for two weeks now, yet it's perfect "Internet Trash" fodder.
You’re right, they missed out on a lot of opportunities to explore deeper issues from all characters. The dance off was so cringe, and mostly seemed like arm movements? Like I wasn’t wowed by the athleticism of the dance team. Though it would never end. Also I just hated the title of the party…. I’d think F. Scott Fitzgerald is rolling in his grave at such an invocation.
at this point of society where no one is correctly using the term Gatsby Party, I'm pretty sure he's just slowly rotating like a 7/11 hot dog for like all of eternity

Pageant: "You're hot now. Get used to it."
Me a Cobra Kai fan: "He's already hot. TF?" XD
this movie would've been better if the two sapphic girls were the leads don't @ me
Anything is made better by making it sapphic tho
I mean I breakout in synchronised dance everytime Jellyfish Rave comes on too.
But can you have fun with a jellyfish for 12 hours?
That part about highschool and influencers is such a mood. I mean, I'm not saying I'm perfect cuz' I know I was an annoying shit in high school, but I feel like influencer culture just amps up that part of people's personalities to like an eleven.
I watched the movie and honestly as someone who ended up in a highschool with kids that wear Gucci and think they’re famous on tik tok I have to say Cameron pre makeover was a legend. His character was super funny but not at all in the way the writers intended.
I absolutely love Shes All That therefore I refuse to watch this. I have no idea who any of the main characters are and I just cant watch it based off the trailer. So as a 31 year old absolutely in love with 90'S rom coms, thank you for letting me watch this through your hilarious commentary.
Gotta do the damelio tv show when that comes out
It’s already out on Disney plus haha
@@areyoulostbabygorl231 and Hulu lol
My biggest problem with the reboot is that after Netflix’s To All the Boys which had a POC as the lead to a movie about a white influencer with a token black (but not too black) and Asian friend is extremely frustrating. The amount of privilege in this movie that went un- acknowledged by everyone is just a huge letdown too. That’s why this movie is more towards the Kissing booth…
*token mixed
Isn’t Madison Pettis half black and half white
Netflix cancelling anne with an e and the society for this.............
naurrr
Casey: It's naive to think that the movie industry isn't biased on a good day.
True. While I personally am not familiar with Addison at all, I can remember people getting angry when Kim Kardashian & Paris Hilton were in movies. As long as movies are dependent on money, using whoever they can for profit will just continue.
about the whole bias in the movie industry thing
saying “this has always been like this so it’s not a big deal” isn’t really fair. Like it’s wrong, it has always been wrong and it’s happening more now so we should be mad about it and criticize it.
Criticizing it is good because maybe executives will Not
Her point was that people are hating on Addison, when in reality we should be hating on the entire movie industry because this is a common practise of theirs
I wish that during one of the "speaking my truth" at prom scenes would cut to some background characters like
"Who is that?"
"I think I have Chem II with her, can't remember her name though"
As the main character subtweets everyone they wronged in the movie.
I've watched way too many videos about a movie I will never watch ...
Here we go for another one !
The Brent cameo lmaooo Casey chose violence
I, too, am very glad I wasn't in school with influencers. I graduated in 2011, so I got lucky in that way lol
Why couldn't her character just play softball? That's cool and I know a few hot softball players.
because softball is for lesbians
Head cheerleader is what I thought they would go for. That’s definitely the female equivalent to quarterback
Because Addison isn't athletic enough to make it work
Also, the head cheerleader concept would be seen as “dated” since the popular cheerleader trope has been done to death for decades.
The influencer angle makes sense for today's culture, but the reason she "lost followers" does NOT make sense. Also, they tried way too hard to make her flawlessly sweet from the beginning. Instead of giving her a least a bit of some possible fame arrogance. Like in the movie Clueless, you want Cher to have a comuppance. You don't totally hate her, but she also has some blinders on about her own privilege. She has an arc/journey to go on I don't care that Padgett is poor (laughs looking at the huge house she had in the movie), there's arrogance that comes with ANY following on the internet, especially at a young age. But she's already beyond that and 'down to earth' in moment one in the movie. There's no journey of change to really go on.
The post-makeover version of that poor guy looks like a toddler cosplaying Christian Grey
I love when I accidentally click a video after a refresh. I love when I end up on your video, even if accidentally!
it’s so refreshing to see a video about movies like this that actually talk about the movie and not “influencer/tiktoker bad”
"theyre not my followers theyre my sugar friends" has to be one of the funniest lines ive ever heard about modern day influencers
Not me seeing an After 3 trailer before this vid started im crying heLp
Thinking Casey's audience would wanna see that movie. 🙄 TH-cam's broken again.
The acting was literally so bad, why does Netflix love money over what their audience wants? They got rid of great shows just to make this horrible movie
This movie makes me think about when I talk to elementary schoolers about high school and what they think it is like. This is what high school is like for children that are 6 years old
Casey I’m usually having my dinner while watching your videos & I’ve come to realize I need to stop doing that because I keep choking on my food while laughing at your jokes 😭
I think this could be so much better. Like instead of her losing followers for getting cheated on it could be some controversy. Maybe not racism like it usually is (I think that topic is wayyyy more serious for it to be covered in a cheesy romcom), but IDK, facetuning photos for example. And instead of going along with the usual "makeover trope", the ending could be that she realizes how fucked up that is and changes the direction of her content, gets new followers, new brand deal. Using some side-trope she realizes college is important etc, etc.
Ooooh this could be *SO* good.
Maybe they thought that if it's too good, it won't be talked about on socials nearly as much.
But it could still be cheesy and cringey teen stuff, so commentary chanels would talk about it. but if the storyline was actually good... oooh, imagine! It'd be so fun to watch commentary on that. Like "hey guys lets talk about this suuuper cringey teen movie, but... Plot twist, it actually talks about important stuff"
You know, the whole "if you don't tell him I will" thing that Madison pettis's character pulled really shouldn't have worked. Cus in theory if she tells the guy about the bet she should automatically forfeit and loose the bet, so Addison Rae could have just refused to have said anything and Madison couldn't have done anything or risk loosing the bet. I mean I know that's pretty much the whole thing that happened in the orginal but even in that I think the bet part of the movie was just kind dropped. Idk it's been a really long time since I've seen she's all that.
I died when they started playing that awful copyright free version of the Boy is Mine in the movie 😂💀

the whole plot line of addison's character pretending to be rich to fit in is actually really nice especially with the influencer thing, if it was explored well it could definitely have a very meaningful moral. it kinda reminds me of ladybirdand the scene where her rich friend finds out where she actually lives.
Was unable to finish anybody else’s commentary on this aside from Mina Le and you, awesome as always Casey!!
I think you’re like the 4th YT review I’ve seen of this and I’m here for it.
I don't know anything about Addison Rae but getting a tiktok star to play an influencer makes sense to me? She could've brought her real life experience to the role
i love you but i can't sit through this movie even as a funny review, here, you can have a comment for the engagement analytics, as a treat
Mann I been waiting for somebody to talk about that movie lol 😂 and thank God I have your post notifications on
All young actors are now the sons or daughters of super famous actors. Its insane how bad it is now.
there was a dancing scene in she's all that but it wasn't a dance competition lmaooo like why would they do that
I would love a link to the video about actors flooding voice acting. My favorite actor did really well in voice acting from 1996-2003 and still does World of Warcraft voices, so _some_ actors can also be good voice actors. (Actually, he worked with the late Tony Jay during that time as well, who is _also_ a traditional actor and did a bang up job)
Who?
@@makadray If you're asking who my favorite actor/VA is, it's Simon Templeman.
If you're asking who Ton Jay is, he was one of the elder aliens in My Stepmother Is An Alien... And also the bad guy in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame lol (I think he was also Megabyte in Reboot, if I'm not mistaken)
Literally just started the video and i cant wait to hear you talk about this lol
I felt like Addison acting wasn't that bad cuz the character was very similar to how she portraits herself to the Internet? Like if the character was different from the Addison "energy" it would have been worst
Of all the nonsense with "not like other guys" guy who's all anti popular shit, I Can Not believe Teenage Dream one of thee most popular songs by Katy Perry a Popular Music singer was the straw that broke the camels back. I'm surprised he even knew the words

I love you but every time you said reboot I felt the urge to scream “IT’S A REMAKE” at the screen sjsj they’re different things y’all 😭
Isn't a remake supposed to like improve on the concept while keeping what made it special in the first place, instead of, the opposite.
If you make a remake, a good one accounts for people who are expecting and meeting the expectations of the original
Otherwise what is the Point
@@ahhh4117 a remake just means that you’re taking a movie that’s already been made and making a new version with some changes. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to improve or be better than the first one, just different. The purpose of remakes is usually to “adapt” the original concept to either a different decade or a different culture.
And then of course, like every movie, it’s meant to be good but obviously that’s not usually the case with remakes.
Like you said, a good one meets the expectations of the original, this is a bad one, but it’s still a remake.
And “the point” in Hollywood lately with the constant remakes is not to make quality tv but to make easy money. They take a loved movie to capitalize on nostalgia and get a famous influencer to star in it. Most teenagers don’t care if it’s good and will watch it because of all the promo and adults will hate watch it so ultimately, it’s just a strategy to make money.
all that tiktok star hate train reminds me of when youtubers started to get mainstream gigs and the tv people went nuts. oh how the tunrtables...
Omg I got an ad for the 3rd After movie in the middle of this. Thx Casey 🤣
Me too. 😅
I watched that video you linked a few weeks ago and I gotta agree. It's a good video. I also feel like a lot of VAs are having the same issues as to movie musicals - qualified actors are pushed aside in order for celebrities to take the stage... Some of which have never been in a movie musical before. I remember hearing Anthony Ramos auditioned for the movie and got rejected. This dude was in the OBC of *Hamilton.* And the movie suffered because a lot of them didn't know what they were doing and the performers led/orchestra followed. (Which is NOT HOW THAT WORKS.) Which, Sideways' video about the Cats movie musical does go into great detail about why the movie itself was a trainwreck.
But anyway, I'm rambling. I think there is an issue within large movie studios in that they tend to push names over qualifications. I haven't seen this movie, but I can see why people would feel this way about it. It just stinks because a lot of talent is being pushed out because they know big names sell. 😔
Having Cameron’s sister call him hot was so weird??? I expect that kind of line to come from a Colleen Hoover book, the idea of ever calling one of my siblings “hot” genuinely makes me want to throw myself off a bridge, curl up in a corner and cry and maybe throw up all of my insides 😭😭
