Why does no one ever bring up the legal consequences of revenge porn and distributing child pornography. It drives me crazy. It should have ended with Max going away in handcuffs…
He's got a very rich dad, the ending implied that the only consequence he got was psychologically accepting that he's a big loser and hope that the guys are on his side in that support group
“Im shocked! This is shocking news!” was my favorite line throughout the whole movie. I loved Camila Mendes’ sarcasm and how she really formed her character
That song “Brutal”, by Olivia Rodrigo went together so well with the introduction scene where we first see Eleanor driving on the interstate. It had such an ‘05 tone to it. I swear. Literally felt like a recollection of all the iconic teen movies I watched growing up.
@Bolia Fops one of the biggest points of the film is the securities you get with money. The cops wouldn’t have done anything about max cause there’s no definite proof and he’s rich. And if Eleanor told the cops about the drugs, drea would be arrested- not sent to a rehab facility like carissa or one of the other rich kids. So, cops were def not an option for her
The plot twist was so satisfying. It’s the type of thing that makes you want to go back and rewatch the movie to pick up on everything you missed the first time
How did anyone miss the twist? I can't be that good lol I figured it out at the 40 min mark, right after they met. I mean hell.. It was in the Narration "Drea doesn't know it yet but we are about to become BESTIEEES" I assumed, Well... SInce your narrating it, You obviously Planned it.. And if you planned it.. You're not randomly friends, you are being SHADY.. Ooh she's shady.. This is about revenge.. How did drea lose her Yale scholership.. ELENORES REVENGE IS ON DREA! Seriously, The movie screamed it at you the moment her car wouldn't start.
@@RUGr4Ts I totally get it, I Always guess the twist either because I study movies way too much or they are just really bad at hiding twists when you've seen them all, I'm sure for younger viewers it's a lot harder or people aren't ready for a certain plot if they haven't seen it done before.
Okay yes, it’s insanely terrible but she HIT HER WITH A CAR. That seems like a wee bit of an escalation before you consider everything else she was also doing or planning to do.
i honestly didnt mind this movie but its so funny to me how Drea literally just forgave Eleanor so easily- when she hit her with a car- threatened to frame her hardworking mom for drugs- and stole all her friends- and she's just like- " Nora! this violence has to stop! Girl you get me-" LIKE WHATTTT GIRL MAYBE TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GO OVER WHAT JUST HAPPENED BEFORE YOU INSTANTLY FORGIVE HER>
Frr for someone who makes it her whole identity being a poc with a hardworking mom, idk how she wouldn't lose her shit when Eleanor threatens to frame her for drugs. And it was so psychotic that she hit her with her car and then went to torment her at the hospital. She was nuts. They really took it too far with her. Idk how ppl look over it and like Eleanor.
drea Did out eleanor and make her look like a sexual predator and also drug the whole school and be a terrible friend to eleanor-- i mean they're both pretty crazy
I completely agree with the end almost ruining it. Eleanor's personality switched so dramatically several times within such a short amount of time and then at the end her and Drea are just totally chill?? How are they so chill???
yep this is why I didn't give it a 5 star. it should have been a dark ending. the character of eleanor was unrealistic at the end. why would she be like a pendulum. like how can she forgive her so easily. she hit her with a car and then forgive her. like wtf🙂. this is what let down the film. but overall a refreshment and one of the better films this year. ENTERTAINMENT 10/10
nope, because capitalism. Disney shows an idealized upper middle class everywhere because if people knew how other people may also be struggling, they might unite and lets just say start singing "Solidarity Forever" or "Internationale" or "Which Side Are you one". And because mid to late 90s Disney had been the blueprint for writers today, everyone copies them.
the easiest subplot in a teen movie, that's why I dont really watch teen movies because ehhhhh not the end of the world, the main drama sometimes feels like it tho
"Just your average 28-year-old high schooler" I laughed so hard! It's so true, all highschoolers in shows, movies, and even real-life look so old nowadays.
They always were. Have you seen the original 90210? It's probably actually a good thing when teens are played by twentysomethings if you think about it, it avoids a Dan Schneider situation
Drea was awfully forgiving about being hit by a car. Sarah Michelle Gellar is definitely the reason I watched as I was expecting terrible acting but Camilla was genuinely good and funny in this. Overall I really liked it. But also, can we talk about Maya's blonde wig? Tragic.
Camila Mendes' character could have easily gone to the police about BOTH people. One for exposing a private video and the other for attempt at extrortion.
How would she prove either of those things? Also, you are ignoring that it's the scholarship kid's word against 2 rich white kids with lawyers on speed dial.
For many years it seems like Hollywood tried to remake the magic movies like Mean Girls or Heatehers had, and even tho Do Revenge is far from perfect, it got the assignment right. It's funny, it's campy, it's cheesy, it's brutal, it's a little dark. I really enjoyed it and it's one of the best "teen movies" we've had in recent years.
It got uncomfortably dark for me. When Drea came home & Eleanor was in her house & started with her psychopathic threats & manipulation, I was genuinely afraid. It no longer seemed like a comedy to me, but had turned into something frightening. I felt Eleanor was dangerous. How obsessed with revenge do you have to be to play such a long game?
@@DonnaBrooks That's the point of her character tbh! She's not supposed to be idolized, she's supposed to be feared and mentally UNWELL, she's like a grey area character :}
@@flawedsanity but then again, it's for the same role that she did in riverdale... but you know what, that doesn't matter because i loved camila mendes in this movie
The fact that Drea ended up staying friends with the girl who PURPOSEFULLY HIT HER WITH A CAR is just.... damn.... Edit: Can we all just agree that being framed and bullied in middle school does not justify attempted murder? Please?
I mean.. Drea herself probs ruined a bunch of lives by being the mean girl she had to be so it was kinda like karma. Then they realized they were both the same kind of fucked up so thats why I think they ended up as friends even after all the batshit crazy things that went on between them
This movie is a really fun sort of meta satirizion of 90s high school dark comedies. And it gets immediate approval from me for including the literal goddess Sarah Michelle Gellar. She is a fantastic actor and she still looks sensational!
As someone who’s *actually poly*, the “oh it’s just a poly thing” excuse is so infuriating. Being poly is not an excuse to cheat! Cheating is still cheating, whether you’re poly or monogamous. What makes it cheating, is that it was definitely done behind peoples backs.
That's the point...everyone was grasping for something to save them. Even Drea when Eleanor blackmails her says "it will look bad if the rich white girl takes the scholarship from a girl of color". The point is to realize that even if you're part of a minority (Eleanor being queer and Drea being latina/poor), it's not an excuse for being mean.
Honestly, when Eleanor/Nora was talking to Drea about a girl at camp outing her and everything... I thought it would be Drea...only for it to be. Eleanor is kind of wacko not gonna lie and Max got what he deserved...
me too!! before she mentioned carissa i totally thought it was gonna be drea, but then she clearly stated it to be carissa so i was like "huh, alright then" and then it turned out to be drea after all???
When I saw Eleanor in the car of course I already knew that's the stereotype of lesbian girl so at that point I thought this will be one of those movies of friendship goes to romance. It surprised me a lot how Nora was actually a villain I totally didn't expect that each other were villains in the others story.
It kinda works tho because (idk if you've watched the movie so spoilers I guess) Max kinda pretends to be a feminist and all that jazz so the patriarchy line, despite being a bit cringe, honestly works in that context
I watched this movie just yesterday. I couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. Tbh I liked the plot twist. It was so unexpected. The ending was also pretty satisfying. But some of it was cringey. I still have a love-hate relationship with it
honestly same. i just decided to embrace the cringeyness of the whole thing bcs its a teen movie and its not realistic and its not trying to be so fuck it
@@wenington I think that was the whole satire thing about the movie it was supposed to be cringey in parts, to play mockery to other teen romcoms and flicks. And to play on gen z language. The cringe is supposed to be there 👄
Camila Mendes is super underrated as an actor and in terms of her comedic timing. She was also so good in 'Palm springs' as she wasn't the lead but gave such a great performance.
@@misssteak1290 easy A, bookssmart, almost any Kirsten Dunst flick, to all the boys, ladybird, Jennifer’s body, the perks of being a wallflower, Juno, sisterhood of the travelling pants… there’s literally so many wtf r u talking about 💀
This was a silly camp throwback to the 90s classic play teen remakes and it was so enjoyable. Why does every move have to be high art for so many people. It was a fun popcorn movie.
What I don’t think a lot of people get is that this movie is MEANT to be cringe. It’s simultaneously a parade and a tribute to the cheesy teen movies of the 90s. It is intentionally camp and that’s why I like it so much. It doesn’t really take itself seriously at all despite having some “dark” aspects because it’s a dark comedy. Yeah this movie has some flaws but the cringeyness is not one of them. If anything it would be more cringe if they tried to play this concept straight.
So inserting dialogue about the 'patriarchy', 'polyamoury is progressive' 'boys can release revenge porn with no legal consequences' 'bullying on full display is perfectly fine' 'hacking left & right is no big deal' are just dark comedy & campy? No. This was "the message" spread through a film. And those were just the bits Alex showed. Netflix is failing over this stuff. I'd never watch the stuff Alex reviews as it's usually silly. Yet it's all in fun if you like that kind of thing so each to their own. But this wasn't that. The world doesn't want it's sub money being spent on US far left political ideology. Sorry but that's what this was.
@@tkps wait in what world are ''boys can release revenge porn with no legal consequence'' or ''bullying on full display is perfectly fine'' far leftist ideas? And also ''polyamoury is progressive'' is something the villain of the story used in response to everyone finding out he cheated on a bunch of people, so the story doesn't sound particularly approving of that.
@@tkps To be honest those parts Were so loud In the movie it almost seemed like the movie was MAKING FUN of woke cringe. You could watch it as an anti-woke person and still laugh, Honestly it was the most realistic take on wokism because the actors saying those lines had to say them over the top, Picture a movie about the opposite view points and the movie makes it seem like the "movie" accepts those views because the characters do but the actors have to say the lines over the top, Usually its done to poke fun in secret.
Let me just say that's it understated how devastating it is to get outed as a lesbian when you were so young. Of course this movie exaggerates things and Eleanor goes to stupid lengths to get revenge, but what happened to her not only hurt her in the moment but also most likely ruined her development as a budding queer person. I honestly feel for her.
Yeah, and to be clear, she got turned into a predator as she said. Being just outed would've sucked yes but imagine being ostracized since 13 for fear. Idk it does seem the worse.
Thank you i was gonna comment being outed is not something to be undermined like if she didnt run over drea with a car ppl would understand where shes coming from
I mean this kindly but it isn't Eleanor being a lesbian that destroyed her life. It was drea saying that she held her down and tried to kiss her. As Eleanor literally says "she turned me into a predator". Drea made a fake sexual assault claim about Eleanor, that's what destroyed her
@@CaitlinxDavis she has one pet iguana - the bath is just reflecting it aha. It's introduced in the movie a bit more and not only shown in this one scene haha
Maybe I have the benefit of being older & having a different perspective, but teenage girls have NOT ALWAYS been psychopaths or even mean. They weren't when I was growing up and I was an outsider. They might be a little snotty, but they weren't mean. This is a more recent phenomenon that needs to be studied by sociologists & those studying psychology & society. It's like the rise of the incels. Guys have always been rejected by girls who aren't attracted to them, but they didn't turn psycho & hate all women & go on shooting sprees! They dealt with it & moved on. There is something very wrong with a society that is producing young women & young men like this.
I haven't seen the movie, but frankly I'm obsessed with the bright pastels. Like despite the plot and actors and basically everything, this movie is so fun to just *look at*
Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from a movie like this but yoooo that plot twist had me shock 💀💀 I really didn’t expect that. That gives it a good rating from me
It's absolutely hilarious seeing Maya Hawke calmly sitting in the tub with a glass of champagne jamming to the Pom Pom Squad(yes....that is the name of the group believe it or not), while she stares off to the side surrounded by lots of candles, roses, and (for some weird reason)2 lizards.
@@angel_rose_paige3920 I dunno , I'm not trying troll you or anything. I was only pointing at the scene I saw in this video and I saw 2. Each has their own mini tub, black one in the tub above the yellow one's tub check it out. the scene is at 11:30 btw
I watched this movie last night and OMG, that plot twist about it all being a revenge plot by Eleanor from the very first moment blew my mind! The patriarchy bit at the end, personally, we could have done without, but whatever. And here I thought creativity was dead, but, I guess there's still some creative people out there in Hollywood
Give it a few more years and you will know what is derivative and what isn't. Nothing is original. I knew Eleanor was the real mastermind before she was even shown, and mostly for that very reason.
the thing with max dating a bunch of girls from different cliques and the main characters failing to make him look bad is literally just the plot of John tucker must die
Drea should have called the cops for child pornography distribution. Unfortunately like in the real world Max would use his affluenza and get away with it with no legal consequences.
"Why is it always your first instinct to light someone's hair on fire?" "Why isn't it yours?" Honestly I relate way too much to this, I kind of want to watch this now just so I can see whatever other crazy shit Meghan says, I love her already XD
I'm glad you brought up how a bad show/movie does not make a bad actor. I know there's specifically plenty of voice actors who are pretty much legends in the industry yet they get cast in some really awful crap just to get a paycheck between bigger jobs. The industry as a whole seems to be messed up, especially with companies like Netflix making bad movies and shows for cash grabs, with the occasional good thing if the right people are involved.
are you by any chance referring to matthew mercer when you say "there's plenty of legendary voice actors who get cast in crap" because i'm immediately picturing this legendary actor playing an evil elephant in a lion king ripoff
I personally loved having so many actors who made it big with shows on different streaming services come together in one movie. It was quite fun to see, I want more of this!
What got me about the ending was how Eleanor completely just gave up everything at the last party all because Drea made fun of her old nose. Like WHAT? We JUST got the big reveal and she seems like she’s gunna be like big bad monster villain but then she just cries about her nose and then that’s all forgotten
Little lesson in psychology: psychopaths look like cold snakes but they have fear. All 3 main characters are psychopaths villains. Each of them has his own fear. This movie is wicked, all of them are pieces of shit. Money and power are a shield. The crowd follow hate and power.
It clearly wasn't about the nose.... there was an entire sequence of her in front of the mirror regretting everything and realizing that she actually really liked being friends with Drea but believing that she's gone too far to turn back now. But after Drea apologized when they both realized that no, it's not too late to turn back, they decided to let bygones be bygones and forgive each other instead.
Thank you, Sigmund! And you know psychopaths have fear,- how? Was it something you read in another comment thread? Or heard on a TV show? Or learned in Psycho 101? @@smmshoe
I like your observation. It's just that they are so mercurial! In a little over a minute, we went from Eleanor being all manipulative & psycho toward Drea, then Drea getting control by pointing out the nose job, Eleanor running off crying, then Drea IMMEDIATELY runs after Eleanor. Everything just happened so fast. @@tsukeyi
I mean, honestly, I think it should've been obvious that all these actors from Riverdale were actually amazing actors given shitty material just by being able to call someone Jughead in the middle of an intense, dramatic, or even passionate scene without IMMEDIATELY breaking into the strongest of gigglefits. I've TRIED doing that. I can say anything with a straight face... But I can't do that.
This movie was really enjoyable for me. Made me laugh. The absurdity of it all, plus they didn’t make all the characters really cringe with outdated references. Erica was a blast, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between Eleanor and Drea.
I hope this isn't the beginning of Maya Hawke getting typecast. Mild serial killer vibes aside, she's basically just still playing Robin. We even JUST had a "popular girl makes Maya wear girly clothes and she hates it, how funny" scene last season in Stranger Things.
Also for a movie that’s supposed to be with “today’s time” for example when Max twisted his cheating into being polyamorous and everyone accepting that, I found it unrealistic that Drea would be sl*t shamed????? Realistically everyone would be on her side
realistically, drea was the popular cool girl in school, and had everyone talking about her, i find it realistic that they didn't take her side, because people are usually finding a way to excuse their jealousy hate towards someone, and once they find something, they run with it no matter if its true or not,
I thought the same, but I thought this was pretty realistic as well. I am a little older and have seen in various social spheres how people actions in a given moment often don't align with what they claim they believe or hashtag on social media.
it was a very rushed ending but the point of them staying friends at the end is that they decided they're both kinda equal levels of crazy, or as Drea calls it "fucked up soul mates" so it's kind of like a "i enjoy spending time with you and since we're even now let's keep spending time together" kind of thing. but i do agree a "oh my god we're the same person" ending would have made way more sense if Eleanor hadn't gone full psychopath and hit Drea with her car
I love this movie. Really enjoyed it. I know some people are confused how Drea and Eleanor forgave each other so easily, but i think it's simple: They both really liked being friends with one another, and just let bygones be bygones. If both are willing to forgive each other, and both accepted the other person's apology, then why is it bad. They realized holding on to grudges wasn't healthy. And sure, they are both fucked up in their own ways, but it works for them. I liked it. You don't see many relationships where they do this type of stuff of being mean, then forgiving, then just letting the past stay in the past. It's a nice change of pace.
@@BEESKIT800 i just think they both got over it. They both came to the realization that it wasn't worth holding on to. It felt like it made sense to me.
I think it's the SUDDENNESS of the change, not the forgiving itself. With time, one can forgive those who have wronged them. Plus, being obsessed with a person (hate) is only wasting your own precious time & energy that could be devoted to productive things. But that doesn't happen within the course of minutes or an hour!
@@DonnaBrooks i guess it just depends on the people. I didn't mind them getting past the bad stuff as long as they were both okay with it. But i can get it being sudden. Maybe that was so they could wrap up the movie faster?
Did anybody else cry during the scene when Drea was telling Eleanor that it was joke and that she actually wanted to be real friends with her, while Eleanor looked sad? I can’t be the only one😅🥲
Tbh I only wanted to watch this because of Maya and Camila. Originally I thought this was going to be a show not a movie (bc Netflix didn't promote it properly) and that they were going to start a revenge ring where they help each other and slowly accumulate girls to take down the whole school (plus Maya and Camila's characters slowly fall in love and end up together), so I was a little disappointed it was only a movie but I was pleasantly surprised at how stupid fun it was. It still has the awkward Riverdale "let's reference a bunch of things that not everyone will understand" nonsense and they didn't end up together, but I love everything about Maya's character and how all the hints were there for the viewer to figure out. The one thing I didn't get was why throw her ex-girlfriend under the bus but honestly, she already self-identified as a psychopath so I guess it doesn't matter since she was willing to do anything to take Drea down.
my thoughts exactly, I also thought it was going to be a show and seemed to be promoted in a way that made me think maya and camilas characters were going to fall in love. halfway through the movie I realized that wasn’t going to happen and just left me disappointed. I probably would’ve liked the movie much better not knowing anything about it beforehand
being a lesbian, being viewed as a “predator” by my girl peers is already an issue in my life with no aggressor. that mixed in with being outed would be devastating… i kind of get where shes coming from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn't justify trying to kill someone and framing their mother for drugs. (framing someone y'know like they did, just a bit worse than drugs) Understandable, had a reason, not a good one, but still fucked up stuff was done. It's kinda hard for me to watch movies like this just cause it's so insufferable watching bad people do bad things constantly.
@@DonnaBrooksbut she was accused of SA. Somehow i think that's worse, especially with the fact that she's lesbian. SA was one of the things homophobes always associated with queer relationships.
@@DirtyBanditable You're actually smart, then. When someone's anger is built up and they just want to hurt someone, that's the instinctual gut reaction move. Even trained MMA fighters aren't completely immune to it.
The plot twist got me, it was pretty clever but tbh... the plot was ALL over the place, it wasn't sure what it was doing the whole time and tons of threads just...got forgotten. Plus the bad guy was so blatantly bad, it sounded like a cartoon villain story
i honestly kinda wished they stuck together, to take down Max till the end, like they threaten each other as they uncover the past but still work together to take Max down.
"Eleanor goes from your local neighborhood frumpy dumpy sapphic to the girl your gf tells you not to worry abt, but boy they sure are having a lot of SLEEPOVERS LATELY." This guy is the ally I didn't know I needed
i watched this movie with my friends, and we had the best time. it was truly just so FUN. movies like these have become so rare these days and it's sad - like i just wanna enjoy myself lol
People don't really care about how poor or rich your friends are. But, people usually care about who pays for who when people go out, so it comes up cause people don't get invited to do things, but it's not as prevalent as I think it might have been before I went to school
For my experience we didn't really have that rich and poor kind of groups because literally every one who went to the school had to be rich of some kind, but then we had this thing where we have the super rich and the ok rich which also wasn't really a boundary but then it also got to if you where invited to a party or not
why isn't THAT a movie. normal kid with no allowance destroys lives of kids who get 25 bucks daily since they didn't take the kid with them to chipotle
My freinds always payed for whoever couldnt and there was no expectation to pay it back, despite us being a pretty poor group of freinds. Being the only one not able to afford going out was never really an issue back in highschool. Im not sure if it was common or not, nor am i sure if that commonly still happens today, but im incredibly greatful for that. Were still a pretty tight group.
I'm sorry Eleanor's standards for revenge are so drastic. Like, what would she do to my childhood bullies if I told her the hell they put me through? Burn their house down?
her situation was pretty devastating. I think they should've put a little more emphasis on how being outed like that can fuck you up for years. is she a lil insane?? yes, and I love her for it and what happened to her was THAT horrible.
@@xi.pinkss being outed doesn’t equate to threatening someone’s mom getting a random girl expelled and hitting someone with your car especially after that person was a victim of revenge porn recently kind of really messed up . That’s way more than a little insane she could have killed her

@@TBK7913 she wasn't just outed. Drea made her into a sexual predator. The rumour wasn't just "Eleanors a lesbian" it was "Eleanor held me down and tried to kiss me". I honestly don't understand how do many people think Eleanor being outed was the thing that ruined her and not her being made into a predator, Eleanor literally says in one of her first scenes with drea in the car that "she made me into a predator"
@@TBK7913 she wasn't just "outed". what drea did to her was more fucked up up than you realize. drea lying about eleanor being a predator is one of the most damaging things you could do to a queer person. she didn't even cause that much harm to drea anyways tbh
Ok but like, why? Camila is an awesome actor and was wasted on Riverdale. FRICKEN RIVERDALE! Camila Mendez is an awesome actor and really sold her part in Do Revenge. Also I love how nobody even thought or said "hitman" when thinking of revenge ideas.
I actually thought that they were going to accidentally murder one of their Revenges and had to spend the rest of the movie covering it up. Like Horrible Bosses.
@@mairelli it was a rumor from a 13 year old about kissing she wasn’t going to have a record for that she just became a social outcast that doesn’t equate to getting her mother arrested and hitting someone with your car 😂 years later
@@TBK7913 Eleanor literally says in the movie that the rumour "turned her into a predator" 13 year olds know what sexual assault is. Holding someone down trying to force them to kiss you is sexual assault and is a crime
Speaking of Riverdale actors being better outside the show, Lili did an absolutely stellar job in 'Look Both Ways'. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend it. She is such a phenomenal actress, and I was left in awe of her performance
One moment before drea forgave Nora (eleanor) Nora said that she thought Drea changed as she told the truth to her (at the birthday party nora decided she didnt change). That's why I think it's not hard to understand how quick Nora changed her mind about Drea at the end because Drea was in her changing phase but I can't deny they are both crazy. All in all it's about exactly this friendship
Eleanor went a bit to far but honestly I kinda enjoyed her character 😅 maybe it’s cuz it kinda worked out in the end…. Kind of a weird movie but entertaining.
@@wholethedogsout880 omg thanks I agree like I really thought this movie was fun and entertaining but everyone praising the acting... Camila was good but Maya really isn't that much
Tbh i think that it worked since everything in this movie was already so extra I thought that Eleanor's villain twist was the cherry on top to this crazy movie
Okay so this movie was truly crazy af, but putting Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke in it together made it a masterpiece. And the plot twist, you gotta love the plot twist 🫶
For a long chunk of the movie, I thought that the twist was going to be either that Allegra was the one who leaked Drea's video as revenge for Drea's birthday party incident or Erica as revenge for the tennis camp incident because I felt like they were both dropped way too quickly after they happened.
I was expecting the best friend to be the one who leaked the video, because Drea was clearly using her (like paying for her party and stuff) and also the typical jealous best friend teen drama trope Kinda glad that wasn't the case? One female friendship betrayal was enough for this movie
No, the ending is absolutely perfect if you ever watched Sarah Michelle Geller’s 90s teen classic Cruel Intentions and loved it as much as I did. That ending is a direct hommage to that movie and I honestly thought that that was Do Revenge’s biggest inspiration (I mean… Sarah Michelle Gellar even plays someone who could be grown up Catherine Meurteil). Nah, this movie was probably the best teen movie I’d seen since To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and is probably better written than many of my nostalgia favs.
11:35 I can't believe you didn't mention the lizard in a mini bathtub. Why and why do I want one? (Also, I stared in confusion at two lizards and floating candles for an embarrassing amount of time before my brain processed the mirror bath.)
This movie was absolutely crazy. 😭 I was expecting a normal cheesy romance classic Netflix movie but it’s just so crazy. Funnily enough I liked the ending when they both decided to become friends and stop the hate cycle. I relate to that part a bit, sometimes the hate gets too much to bear and you just feel rubbish inside and you have no more anger left for the person. The only thing you can do is move on. Definitely a CRAZY unexpected movie. Glad I didn’t listen to the reviews and watched it myself 😂
BRO I LOVED THIS MOVIE. like the plot twists were insane and i thought some of it was ridiculous, but it was so good and i love maya hawke in this and it’s my fave movie
@@lengb4831 I knew they were gonna be besties. But when they were arguing outside Eleanor’s house they were getting rlly close I legit thought they were gonna kiss 😂😂
It was nice to see a teen comedy with a different premise. Instead of Mean Girls or Clueless (Emma) this was Stranger on a Train. I also really liked that even when the two leads started fighting it was clear they just wanted to be friends again. The final act was a bit thrown together but at least it led us to the ending we wanted. Sophie Turners small part was hilarious.
Economic status definitely still comes up in rich kid schools, because they aren’t the ones going socialist lol. I went to a public school that had a huge population of uh, “Investor immigrants” and international students (where you pay $80k a year for a mediocre high school experience), and lemme tell you the normal kids were definitely looked down upon. Everyday in the locker room the girls were just comparing their Gucci merch
When I went to private school, I definitely felt like an outcast. You can feel really disconnected from all the students that have fancy things like private jets (no joke). Of course not everyone is like that but yeah.
I have such mixed feelings about this movie! I just feel like the first act is too long and as a result they ran out of the time they really needed for a truly satisfying conclusion (things get "resolved" way too quickly after the twist, imo). That being said, I had a lot of fun for about 90% of the movie, but I definitely feel like the end is a weak point.
You’re telling me the super popular guy in this school carries around a camera and strap, has red painted nails, and has pants that make him look like he just came out of a paintball tournament?
Ngl the first part of this movie was enjoyable, yet pretty cliche THEN THE TWIST HAPPENS AND EVERYTHING GETS TWISTED BRO Then the ending happens and that was pretty typical, which is whatever
It was unexpectedly good! Great references to classic teen movies without being fan service. It’s definitely not perfect, but I loved that it was unapologetically “girly” and camp. Just be because it’s a chick flick it can still be great.
I feel like this movie was written with college students then Netflix'd down to high school. Makes way more sense for Drea to be applying to law school than Yale. Plus, you know, insane Dawson casting
Why does no one ever bring up the legal consequences of revenge porn and distributing child pornography. It drives me crazy. It should have ended with Max going away in handcuffs…
For real...
Man I dont think anyone thinks about that. Even I didnt know about that until I watched that episode of family guy where chris sent a pic of his pee.
I think it's because unfortunately these horrible things are normalized..
There are a few real world cases where Drea would have been arrested for recording it and distributing it.
He's got a very rich dad, the ending implied that the only consequence he got was psychologically accepting that he's a big loser and hope that the guys are on his side in that support group

That song “Brutal”, by Olivia Rodrigo went together so well with the introduction scene where we first see Eleanor driving on the interstate. It had such an ‘05 tone to it. I swear. Literally felt like a recollection of all the iconic teen movies I watched growing up.
I loved that song.
I was on a Netflix bender and I've literally heard that song three times from different movies lol
@@jayymorris5285yeah it's also in the school of good and evil
ahhh yes, that... iconic.. unforgettable 05... sound... yeah
The most unrealistic part: a mechanic being so upfront about a simple problem in Drea’s car.
Ong 😂
@Bolia Fops one of the biggest points of the film is the securities you get with money. The cops wouldn’t have done anything about max cause there’s no definite proof and he’s rich. And if Eleanor told the cops about the drugs, drea would be arrested- not sent to a rehab facility like carissa or one of the other rich kids. So, cops were def not an option for her
Lol turns out she was lying & sabotaged the car herself, so more accurate!
Omgggg 😂😂😂
no its teens getting away with child pornography and illeagal drugs
The plot twist was so satisfying. It’s the type of thing that makes you want to go back and rewatch the movie to pick up on everything you missed the first time
someone on tiktok pointed out the scene of eleanor looking down when drea said that one thing and i still didnt expect the plot twist
How did anyone miss the twist? I can't be that good lol
I figured it out at the 40 min mark, right after they met.
I mean hell.. It was in the Narration "Drea doesn't know it yet but we are about to become BESTIEEES"
I assumed, Well... SInce your narrating it, You obviously Planned it.. And if you planned it.. You're not randomly friends, you are being SHADY.. Ooh she's shady.. This is about revenge.. How did drea lose her Yale scholership.. ELENORES REVENGE IS ON DREA!

@@RUGr4Ts I totally get it, I Always guess the twist either because I study movies way too much or they are just really bad at hiding twists when you've seen them all, I'm sure for younger viewers it's a lot harder or people aren't ready for a certain plot if they haven't seen it done before.
my favourite line in the film was from sophie turner, just screaming, i dont do cocaine, i dont even know hwat it looks like
Yeah and then the other girl being like she doesn't even know what it looks like ☹️😖😥😰
And then she actually got addicted
I have watched that particular scene as well, I couldn't help but to replay it LOL.
I loved Sophie's I like your balls and the painting too haha ok so pretty much every scene she was in 😅
totally. but still it's crazy to me that shes doing small roles like this when she is hugeee
I think it's important that Drea didn't call Elenor "an icky lesbian", but she told everbody Elenor assaulted a girl. Thats very different
yeah like outing someone publicly is already pretty bad but making up a story of them assaulted you and make them a predator is just fucked up
FOR REAL he really underestimate her situation
Yes, exactly. She was made out to be a predator.
I posted the same thing before seeing your comment! I even used the term in quotation marks! Drea accused Nora of being a sexual predator.
Okay yes, it’s insanely terrible but she HIT HER WITH A CAR. That seems like a wee bit of an escalation before you consider everything else she was also doing or planning to do.
i honestly didnt mind this movie but its so funny to me how Drea literally just forgave Eleanor so easily- when she hit her with a car- threatened to frame her hardworking mom for drugs- and stole all her friends- and she's just like- " Nora! this violence has to stop! Girl you get me-" LIKE WHATTTT GIRL MAYBE TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GO OVER WHAT JUST HAPPENED BEFORE YOU INSTANTLY FORGIVE HER>
To be fair Drea drugged like half the school so I'm not really sure her moral compass points true north you know 😅
Frr for someone who makes it her whole identity being a poc with a hardworking mom, idk how she wouldn't lose her shit when Eleanor threatens to frame her for drugs.
And it was so psychotic that she hit her with her car and then went to torment her at the hospital. She was nuts. They really took it too far with her. Idk how ppl look over it and like Eleanor.
drea Did out eleanor and make her look like a sexual predator and also drug the whole school and be a terrible friend to eleanor-- i mean they're both pretty crazy
She did her fair share of nastiness to Eleanor as well. Forgive and forget, I say. Let bygones be bygones.
@@NotoriousLightning one started a rumor, the other tried to kill....

yep this is why I didn't give it a 5 star. it should have been a dark ending. the character of eleanor was unrealistic at the end. why would she be like a pendulum. like how can she forgive her so easily. she hit her with a car and then forgive her. like wtf🙂. this is what let down the film. but overall a refreshment and one of the better films this year. ENTERTAINMENT 10/10
Women bro. Women
For the love of god can we please get a modern teen movie where the main character isn’t trying to get into an Ivy League school
nope, because capitalism. Disney shows an idealized upper middle class everywhere because if people knew how other people may also be struggling, they might unite and lets just say start singing "Solidarity Forever" or "Internationale" or "Which Side Are you one". And because mid to late 90s Disney had been the blueprint for writers today, everyone copies them.
is that seriously the only thing you have to complain about with this movie? nitpicking for what it’s realistic.

Camila Mendes' character could have easily gone to the police about BOTH people. One for exposing a private video and the other for attempt at extrortion.
THISSSS eleanor is a criminal
How would she prove either of those things? Also, you are ignoring that it's the scholarship kid's word against 2 rich white kids with lawyers on speed dial.
Also, she'd have to expose what she did as well aka drugging the school with mushrooms and getting a student expelled.
It’s cute you think the cops in Florida would care about a scholarship chick accusing a rich guy with his dad’s lawyers on speed dial.
But he’s so rich, he would just get off easily, and Drea’s Mum would just end up with bills for the lawyer.
For many years it seems like Hollywood tried to remake the magic movies like Mean Girls or Heatehers had, and even tho Do Revenge is far from perfect, it got the assignment right. It's funny, it's campy, it's cheesy, it's brutal, it's a little dark. I really enjoyed it and it's one of the best "teen movies" we've had in recent years.
It got uncomfortably dark for me. When Drea came home & Eleanor was in her house & started with her psychopathic threats & manipulation, I was genuinely afraid. It no longer seemed like a comedy to me, but had turned into something frightening. I felt Eleanor was dangerous. How obsessed with revenge do you have to be to play such a long game?

same here. I thought I'd only watch a dumb movie, but it was great.
She’s still playing rich girl Veronica, but a better written one that I actually enjoyed watching. She and Maya owned their roles.
The fact that Drea ended up staying friends with the girl who PURPOSEFULLY HIT HER WITH A CAR is just.... damn....
Edit: Can we all just agree that being framed and bullied in middle school does not justify attempted murder? Please?
I mean.. Drea herself probs ruined a bunch of lives by being the mean girl she had to be so it was kinda like karma. Then they realized they were both the same kind of fucked up so thats why I think they ended up as friends even after all the batshit crazy things that went on between them
you could say the same in reverse, i could never stay friends with someone who outed me and told everyone i assaulted her
she deserved it
the thing with toxic friendships is you don't leave them because they are the closest person you have
@@belmarshall9103 outing someone and trying to kill them, wonder which one is deadly.
This movie is a really fun sort of meta satirizion of 90s high school dark comedies. And it gets immediate approval from me for including the literal goddess Sarah Michelle Gellar. She is a fantastic actor and she still looks sensational!

As someone who’s *actually poly*, the “oh it’s just a poly thing” excuse is so infuriating. Being poly is not an excuse to cheat!
Cheating is still cheating, whether you’re poly or monogamous. What makes it cheating, is that it was definitely done behind peoples backs.

@@lyricscott5134 polyamory is a consensual relationship between ALL partners in the relationship lmfao read up on it
That's the point...everyone was grasping for something to save them. Even Drea when Eleanor blackmails her says "it will look bad if the rich white girl takes the scholarship from a girl of color". The point is to realize that even if you're part of a minority (Eleanor being queer and Drea being latina/poor), it's not an excuse for being mean.
Why is there no mention of how Sophie Turner SLAYED her five minutes of screen time?!
Genius
I DONT DOOOOOO COCAINEEEEEEEE 😂
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
She was honestly the best part of the movie 😂
Oh really? I found her so cringe!
Honestly, when Eleanor/Nora was talking to Drea about a girl at camp outing her and everything... I thought it would be Drea...only for it to be.
Eleanor is kind of wacko not gonna lie and Max got what he deserved...
Dont read my name.........
I completely agree. I still oddly like Nora, though… but maybe that’s just because it worked out for her and Drea in the end.
me too!! before she mentioned carissa i totally thought it was gonna be drea, but then she clearly stated it to be carissa so i was like "huh, alright then" and then it turned out to be drea after all???
When I saw Eleanor in the car of course I already knew that's the stereotype of lesbian girl so at that point I thought this will be one of those movies of friendship goes to romance. It surprised me a lot how Nora was actually a villain I totally didn't expect that each other were villains in the others story.
Yeah it was weirdly obvious
That last patriarch bit at the end was a bit cringe, but it definetely sounds like something a random drunk guy would say in that situation
It kinda works tho because (idk if you've watched the movie so spoilers I guess)

This was a silly camp throwback to the 90s classic play teen remakes and it was so enjoyable. Why does every move have to be high art for so many people. It was a fun popcorn movie.
Thought so too...loves the nods to Clueless 😂
What I don’t think a lot of people get is that this movie is MEANT to be cringe. It’s simultaneously a parade and a tribute to the cheesy teen movies of the 90s. It is intentionally camp and that’s why I like it so much. It doesn’t really take itself seriously at all despite having some “dark” aspects because it’s a dark comedy. Yeah this movie has some flaws but the cringeyness is not one of them. If anything it would be more cringe if they tried to play this concept straight.
So inserting dialogue about the 'patriarchy', 'polyamoury is progressive' 'boys can release revenge porn with no legal consequences' 'bullying on full display is perfectly fine' 'hacking left & right is no big deal' are just dark comedy & campy? No. This was "the message" spread through a film. And those were just the bits Alex showed. Netflix is failing over this stuff. I'd never watch the stuff Alex reviews as it's usually silly. Yet it's all in fun if you like that kind of thing so each to their own. But this wasn't that. The world doesn't want it's sub money being spent on US far left political ideology. Sorry but that's what this was.
@@tkps wait in what world are ''boys can release revenge porn with no legal consequence'' or ''bullying on full display is perfectly fine'' far leftist ideas? And also ''polyamoury is progressive'' is something the villain of the story used in response to everyone finding out he cheated on a bunch of people, so the story doesn't sound particularly approving of that.
@@tkps To be honest those parts Were so loud In the movie it almost seemed like the movie was
MAKING FUN of woke cringe. You could watch it as an anti-woke person and still laugh, Honestly it was the most realistic take on wokism because the actors saying those lines had to say them over the top, Picture a movie about the opposite view points and the movie makes it seem like the "movie" accepts those views because the characters do but the actors have to say the lines over the top, Usually its done to poke fun in secret.
Something isn't camp anymore the moment it doesn't take itself serious anymore, camp can't intentionally be satire

@@jsbaldo5556 You are just trying to save this movie.
Stop saying they are trying to mock it.
What if the movie is making you think it's mocking?
Huh?
Let me just say that's it understated how devastating it is to get outed as a lesbian when you were so young. Of course this movie exaggerates things and Eleanor goes to stupid lengths to get revenge, but what happened to her not only hurt her in the moment but also most likely ruined her development as a budding queer person. I honestly feel for her.
And accused of pedophila or sexual assult...yah she would be fucked up...then be blamed latter by whoopee Goldberg
Yeah, and to be clear, she got turned into a predator as she said. Being just outed would've sucked yes but imagine being ostracized since 13 for fear. Idk it does seem the worse.
I would agree, but holy hell when people say they imagine hitting their bullies by car, Nora actually acted it out
Thank you i was gonna comment being outed is not something to be undermined like if she didnt run over drea with a car ppl would understand where shes coming from
I mean this kindly but it isn't Eleanor being a lesbian that destroyed her life. It was drea saying that she held her down and tried to kiss her. As Eleanor literally says "she turned me into a predator". Drea made a fake sexual assault claim about Eleanor, that's what destroyed her

@@CaitlinxDavis she has one pet iguana - the bath is just reflecting it aha. It's introduced in the movie a bit more and not only shown in this one scene haha
Maybe I have the benefit of being older & having a different perspective, but teenage girls have NOT ALWAYS been psychopaths or even mean. They weren't when I was growing up and I was an outsider. They might be a little snotty, but they weren't mean. This is a more recent phenomenon that needs to be studied by sociologists & those studying psychology & society. It's like the rise of the incels. Guys have always been rejected by girls who aren't attracted to them, but they didn't turn psycho & hate all women & go on shooting sprees! They dealt with it & moved on. There is something very wrong with a society that is producing young women & young men like this.
I haven't seen the movie, but frankly I'm obsessed with the bright pastels. Like despite the plot and actors and basically everything, this movie is so fun to just *look at*

Yep Riverdale, Stranger Things, 13 Reasons Why, and Scooby-Doo actresses all in one movie was good castings.
What got me about the ending was how Eleanor completely just gave up everything at the last party all because Drea made fun of her old nose. Like WHAT? We JUST got the big reveal and she seems like she’s gunna be like big bad monster villain but then she just cries about her nose and then that’s all forgotten
Little lesson in psychology: psychopaths look like cold snakes but they have fear. All 3 main characters are psychopaths villains. Each of them has his own fear. This movie is wicked, all of them are pieces of shit. Money and power are a shield. The crowd follow hate and power.
It clearly wasn't about the nose.... there was an entire sequence of her in front of the mirror regretting everything and realizing that she actually really liked being friends with Drea but believing that she's gone too far to turn back now. But after Drea apologized when they both realized that no, it's not too late to turn back, they decided to let bygones be bygones and forgive each other instead.

I like your observation. It's just that they are so mercurial! In a little over a minute, we went from Eleanor being all manipulative & psycho toward Drea, then Drea getting control by pointing out the nose job, Eleanor running off crying, then Drea IMMEDIATELY runs after Eleanor. Everything just happened so fast. @@tsukeyi
I mean, honestly, I think it should've been obvious that all these actors from Riverdale were actually amazing actors given shitty material just by being able to call someone Jughead in the middle of an intense, dramatic, or even passionate scene without IMMEDIATELY breaking into the strongest of gigglefits.
I've TRIED doing that. I can say anything with a straight face... But I can't do that.
This movie was really enjoyable for me. Made me laugh. The absurdity of it all, plus they didn’t make all the characters really cringe with outdated references. Erica was a blast, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between Eleanor and Drea.
I hope this isn't the beginning of Maya Hawke getting typecast. Mild serial killer vibes aside, she's basically just still playing Robin. We even JUST had a "popular girl makes Maya wear girly clothes and she hates it, how funny" scene last season in Stranger Things.
Also for a movie that’s supposed to be with “today’s time” for example when Max twisted his cheating into being polyamorous and everyone accepting that, I found it unrealistic that Drea would be sl*t shamed????? Realistically everyone would be on her side
realistically, drea was the popular cool girl in school, and had everyone talking about her, i find it realistic that they didn't take her side, because people are usually finding a way to excuse their jealousy hate towards someone, and once they find something, they run with it no matter if its true or not,
I thought the same, but I thought this was pretty realistic as well. I am a little older and have seen in various social spheres how people actions in a given moment often don't align with what they claim they believe or hashtag on social media.
Also, those people want to believe max is good, but they were all jealous of Drea so of course they would want to see her demise.
Yup
hello, slutshaming still happens these days, it's still really widespread
it was a very rushed ending but the point of them staying friends at the end is that they decided they're both kinda equal levels of crazy, or as Drea calls it "fucked up soul mates" so it's kind of like a "i enjoy spending time with you and since we're even now let's keep spending time together" kind of thing. but i do agree a "oh my god we're the same person" ending would have made way more sense if Eleanor hadn't gone full psychopath and hit Drea with her car
I love this movie. Really enjoyed it. I know some people are confused how Drea and Eleanor forgave each other so easily, but i think it's simple: They both really liked being friends with one another, and just let bygones be bygones. If both are willing to forgive each other, and both accepted the other person's apology, then why is it bad. They realized holding on to grudges wasn't healthy. And sure, they are both fucked up in their own ways, but it works for them. I liked it. You don't see many relationships where they do this type of stuff of being mean, then forgiving, then just letting the past stay in the past. It's a nice change of pace.
I guess. But it shouldn't have been thrown away like it was. But again, it's a teen movie its gonna be cringy and nonsensical lol
@@BEESKIT800 i just think they both got over it. They both came to the realization that it wasn't worth holding on to. It felt like it made sense to me.
I think it's the SUDDENNESS of the change, not the forgiving itself. With time, one can forgive those who have wronged them. Plus, being obsessed with a person (hate) is only wasting your own precious time & energy that could be devoted to productive things. But that doesn't happen within the course of minutes or an hour!
@@DonnaBrooks i guess it just depends on the people. I didn't mind them getting past the bad stuff as long as they were both okay with it. But i can get it being sudden. Maybe that was so they could wrap up the movie faster?
Did anybody else cry during the scene when Drea was telling Eleanor that it was joke and that she actually wanted to be real friends with her, while Eleanor looked sad? I can’t be the only one😅🥲
Tbh I only wanted to watch this because of Maya and Camila. Originally I thought this was going to be a show not a movie (bc Netflix didn't promote it properly) and that they were going to start a revenge ring where they help each other and slowly accumulate girls to take down the whole school (plus Maya and Camila's characters slowly fall in love and end up together), so I was a little disappointed it was only a movie but I was pleasantly surprised at how stupid fun it was. It still has the awkward Riverdale "let's reference a bunch of things that not everyone will understand" nonsense and they didn't end up together, but I love everything about Maya's character and how all the hints were there for the viewer to figure out.
The one thing I didn't get was why throw her ex-girlfriend under the bus but honestly, she already self-identified as a psychopath so I guess it doesn't matter since she was willing to do anything to take Drea down.
my thoughts exactly, I also thought it was going to be a show and seemed to be promoted in a way that made me think maya and camilas characters were going to fall in love. halfway through the movie I realized that wasn’t going to happen and just left me disappointed. I probably would’ve liked the movie much better not knowing anything about it beforehand
@@pickle_spears I feel you. At least the bright side is that now they can't cancel another show about lesbians.
I believe Eleanor said that the ex-girlfriend basically ditched her as soon as the rumours started, so thats why she wanted revenge against her.
being a lesbian, being viewed as a “predator” by my girl peers is already an issue in my life with no aggressor. that mixed in with being outed would be devastating… i kind of get where shes coming from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah lesbians are gross and they suck. I agree with you.
Fr yeah maybe Eleanor did some pretty bad stuff but Drea did effed up stuff too so let's see both sides of the equation.
Doesn't justify trying to kill someone and framing their mother for drugs.
(framing someone y'know like they did, just a bit worse than drugs)
Understandable, had a reason, not a good one, but still fucked up stuff was done. It's kinda hard for me to watch movies like this just cause it's so insufferable watching bad people do bad things constantly.
She wasn't OUTED. She dated Carissa!
@@DonnaBrooksbut she was accused of SA. Somehow i think that's worse, especially with the fact that she's lesbian. SA was one of the things homophobes always associated with queer relationships.
Moral of the Story: EVERY first move in a street fight is the dominant hand haymaker. Learn to block, kids.
Actually, I prefer to kick the knee first. But you do you.
@@DirtyBanditable You're actually smart, then. When someone's anger is built up and they just want to hurt someone, that's the instinctual gut reaction move. Even trained MMA fighters aren't completely immune to it.
Haymaker, followed by the wild left and the knee to the groin. Then the brain starts to engage.
As someone who works in high schools, yes, kids still get mercilessly made fun of for being poor sometimes
The plot twist got me, it was pretty clever but tbh... the plot was ALL over the place, it wasn't sure what it was doing the whole time and tons of threads just...got forgotten. Plus the bad guy was so blatantly bad, it sounded like a cartoon villain story
i honestly kinda wished they stuck together, to take down Max till the end, like they threaten each other as they uncover the past but still work together to take Max down.
The plot twist of this movie was something I never imagined that i would see in a teen movie. I loved their costumes also.
"Eleanor goes from your local neighborhood frumpy dumpy sapphic to the girl your gf tells you not to worry abt, but boy they sure are having a lot of SLEEPOVERS LATELY."
This guy is the ally I didn't know I needed
4:39 I was eating spicy noodles and almost choked. Same, Kelsey. Same.
i watched this movie with my friends, and we had the best time. it was truly just so FUN. movies like these have become so rare these days and it's sad - like i just wanna enjoy myself lol
someone once told me if you ever send ''spicy'' pics you should NEVER EVER show your face or reveal it all
10:00 I love how the kids are praising the guy for “transcending heteronormative structures” yet they still treat that one girl like crap
Those are certainly all words
😆@@PippinFisherreed
The way Alex completely skips over the fact that Olivia Sui from smosh is in this movie is so funny to me
THATS WHY SHE LOOKED SO FAMILIAR OMGG
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
ALSO Sansa from game of thrones???
yeah i searched up the cast as soon as I saw her cause I was like "wait isnt that the girl from smosh?"
I KNEW I WASNT TRIPPIN
i agree that no matter how you describe this film you cannot be prepared for what you’re about to watch
The second half especially towards the ending was hilariously bizarre, but in a good way. I actually enjoyed this movie, so good job to Netflix.
12:04 That part reminded me of the Heather scene where JD breaks into Sawyer’s house lol
Also the line “ get out of my house “ was in the musical too
YESSSS
People don't really care about how poor or rich your friends are. But, people usually care about who pays for who when people go out, so it comes up cause people don't get invited to do things, but it's not as prevalent as I think it might have been before I went to school
there was a whole Friends episode about that actually
For my experience we didn't really have that rich and poor kind of groups because literally every one who went to the school had to be rich of some kind, but then we had this thing where we have the super rich and the ok rich which also wasn't really a boundary but then it also got to if you where invited to a party or not
Everyone pays for themselves if they go out, tf? 😂
why isn't THAT a movie. normal kid with no allowance destroys lives of kids who get 25 bucks daily since they didn't take the kid with them to chipotle
My freinds always payed for whoever couldnt and there was no expectation to pay it back, despite us being a pretty poor group of freinds. Being the only one not able to afford going out was never really an issue back in highschool. Im not sure if it was common or not, nor am i sure if that commonly still happens today, but im incredibly greatful for that. Were still a pretty tight group.
I'm sorry Eleanor's standards for revenge are so drastic. Like, what would she do to my childhood bullies if I told her the hell they put me through? Burn their house down?
her situation was pretty devastating. I think they should've put a little more emphasis on how being outed like that can fuck you up for years. is she a lil insane?? yes, and I love her for it and what happened to her was THAT horrible.
@@xi.pinkss being outed doesn’t equate to threatening someone’s mom getting a random girl expelled and hitting someone with your car especially after that person was a victim of revenge porn recently kind of really messed up . That’s way more than a little insane she could have killed her
@@xi.pinkss you ppl are insane. Ppl who think causing car accidents and framing innocent hardworking nurses for drugs is justified to get revenge off rumours started by a 13 yrs old are unhinged.
@@TBK7913 she wasn't just outed. Drea made her into a sexual predator. The rumour wasn't just "Eleanors a lesbian" it was "Eleanor held me down and tried to kiss me". I honestly don't understand how do many people think Eleanor being outed was the thing that ruined her and not her being made into a predator, Eleanor literally says in one of her first scenes with drea in the car that "she made me into a predator"
@@TBK7913 she wasn't just "outed". what drea did to her was more fucked up up than you realize. drea lying about eleanor being a predator is one of the most damaging things you could do to a queer person. she didn't even cause that much harm to drea anyways tbh
Ok but like, why? Camila is an awesome actor and was wasted on Riverdale. FRICKEN RIVERDALE! Camila Mendez is an awesome actor and really sold her part in Do Revenge. Also I love how nobody even thought or said "hitman" when thinking of revenge ideas.
I actually thought that they were going to accidentally murder one of their Revenges and had to spend the rest of the movie covering it up. Like Horrible Bosses.
@@UniquerHandle lol ngl I thought that too.
@@UniquerHandle Same bro 🤚😔
As a chronically "Buffy lesbian" I have to admit that the Kelsey interlude caused me to wheeze unironically with laughter.
Kudos.
😅
That fact that Eleanor hit purposely hit drea with a car and drea forgave her blows me
then again drea accused her of sa ruining her reputation and possibly damaging her future when applying for jobs
okay but drea also accused eleanor of being a predator. they’re both shitty ppl and shitty ppl deserve each other. that’s the point.
@@mairelli she was 13 , eleanor was an adult and tried to kill her.
@@mairelli it was a rumor from a 13 year old about kissing she wasn’t going to have a record for that she just became a social outcast that doesn’t equate to getting her mother arrested and hitting someone with your car 😂 years later
@@TBK7913 Eleanor literally says in the movie that the rumour "turned her into a predator" 13 year olds know what sexual assault is. Holding someone down trying to force them to kiss you is sexual assault and is a crime
Speaking of Riverdale actors being better outside the show, Lili did an absolutely stellar job in 'Look Both Ways'. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend it. She is such a phenomenal actress, and I was left in awe of her performance
“I wish could just hire people to take them down” that is called an assassin
One moment before drea forgave Nora (eleanor) Nora said that she thought Drea changed as she told the truth to her (at the birthday party nora decided she didnt change). That's why I think it's not hard to understand how quick Nora changed her mind about Drea at the end because Drea was in her changing phase but I can't deny they are both crazy. All in all it's about exactly this friendship
finally someone who agrees that this movie is insane and all these characters are psychopaths
Everyday it boggles my mind how you manage to make a whole video on these movies before I’ve even finished them
Nothing to do with anything but the squeaky noise at 4:53 is making my dog do the cute head tilt thing at my computer.
''Michelle Geller could literally put me through a woodchipper''
I felt that in my soullll lol
Eleanor went a bit to far but honestly I kinda enjoyed her character 😅 maybe it’s cuz it kinda worked out in the end…. Kind of a weird movie but entertaining.
her acting was rlly rough and weird im sorry but maya hawke is a weak actress
She was psychotic
@@wholethedogsout880 omg thanks I agree like I really thought this movie was fun and entertaining but everyone praising the acting... Camila was good but Maya really isn't that much
Tbh i think that it worked since everything in this movie was already so extra I thought that Eleanor's villain twist was the cherry on top to this crazy movie
@@wholethedogsout880 I really love Maya Hawke in stranger things, so she definitely can act. I didn’t think she was bad here
Okay so this movie was truly crazy af, but putting Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke in it together made it a masterpiece. And the plot twist, you gotta love the plot twist 🫶
For a long chunk of the movie, I thought that the twist was going to be either that Allegra was the one who leaked Drea's video as revenge for Drea's birthday party incident or Erica as revenge for the tennis camp incident because I felt like they were both dropped way too quickly after they happened.
The tennis camp thing happened after the video was already leaked
When the twist happened, I thought that Eleanor was the one who leaked the video out. Somehow.
I was expecting the best friend to be the one who leaked the video, because Drea was clearly using her (like paying for her party and stuff) and also the typical jealous best friend teen drama trope
Kinda glad that wasn't the case? One female friendship betrayal was enough for this movie
No, the ending is absolutely perfect if you ever watched Sarah Michelle Geller’s 90s teen classic Cruel Intentions and loved it as much as I did. That ending is a direct hommage to that movie and I honestly thought that that was Do Revenge’s biggest inspiration (I mean… Sarah Michelle Gellar even plays someone who could be grown up Catherine Meurteil). Nah, this movie was probably the best teen movie I’d seen since To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and is probably better written than many of my nostalgia favs.
11:35 I can't believe you didn't mention the lizard in a mini bathtub. Why and why do I want one? (Also, I stared in confusion at two lizards and floating candles for an embarrassing amount of time before my brain processed the mirror bath.)
This movie was so good 👌
The twist caught me off guard tho
Plus I totally thought Drea and Eleanor were gonna date in the end but-- 🤷
Dont read my name.........
Hi
We were robbed. They had way too much chemistry.
Sameee, I know they already set them up with people in the movie but like they had so much chemistry towards the end
Samee
This movie was absolutely crazy. 😭 I was expecting a normal cheesy romance classic Netflix movie but it’s just so crazy. Funnily enough I liked the ending when they both decided to become friends and stop the hate cycle. I relate to that part a bit, sometimes the hate gets too much to bear and you just feel rubbish inside and you have no more anger left for the person. The only thing you can do is move on. Definitely a CRAZY unexpected movie. Glad I didn’t listen to the reviews and watched it myself 😂
BRO I LOVED THIS MOVIE. like the plot twists were insane and i thought some of it was ridiculous, but it was so good and i love maya hawke in this and it’s my fave movie
i was expecting them to get together 😭 like drea and eleanor were gonna realise they’re meant for eachother BUT NO😭
@@lengb4831 I knew they were gonna be besties. But when they were arguing outside Eleanor’s house they were getting rlly close I legit thought they were gonna kiss 😂😂
It was nice to see a teen comedy with a different premise. Instead of Mean Girls or Clueless (Emma) this was Stranger on a Train.
I also really liked that even when the two leads started fighting it was clear they just wanted to be friends again.
The final act was a bit thrown together but at least it led us to the ending we wanted.
Sophie Turners small part was hilarious.
I've been looking for someone in the comments to mention Strangers on a Train!
Economic status definitely still comes up in rich kid schools, because they aren’t the ones going socialist lol. I went to a public school that had a huge population of uh, “Investor immigrants” and international students (where you pay $80k a year for a mediocre high school experience), and lemme tell you the normal kids were definitely looked down upon. Everyday in the locker room the girls were just comparing their Gucci merch
When I went to private school, I definitely felt like an outcast. You can feel really disconnected from all the students that have fancy things like private jets (no joke). Of course not everyone is like that but yeah.
Sarah Michelle Geller definitely still got it! May or may not be on my women crush list! 🙃 she looks soo good!!
I have such mixed feelings about this movie! I just feel like the first act is too long and as a result they ran out of the time they really needed for a truly satisfying conclusion (things get "resolved" way too quickly after the twist, imo). That being said, I had a lot of fun for about 90% of the movie, but I definitely feel like the end is a weak point.
You’re telling me the super popular guy in this school carries around a camera and strap, has red painted nails, and has pants that make him look like he just came out of a paintball tournament?
I loved this movie. The costumes and the cinematography are aesthetically pleasing
Ngl the first part of this movie was enjoyable, yet pretty cliche
THEN THE TWIST HAPPENS AND EVERYTHING GETS TWISTED BRO
Then the ending happens and that was pretty typical, which is whatever
4:46 always Yale or harward
Whatever you may think of the movie, a Maya and Camila duo can’t go wrong
It was unexpectedly good! Great references to classic teen movies without being fan service. It’s definitely not perfect, but I loved that it was unapologetically “girly” and camp.
Just be because it’s a chick flick it can still be great.
Just a easy Sunday watch.
@@zuyu2 it's something intentionally silly and over the top. As a term and a concept, it has a bunch of history with the queer community
The note at 13:16 i canttttt 😂
I feel like this movie was written with college students then Netflix'd down to high school. Makes way more sense for Drea to be applying to law school than Yale. Plus, you know, insane Dawson casting
"In 4th grade you told everyone I farted even though I didn't so.. SAY GOODBYE TO GRANDMA!"
Lol that killed me!!! 🤣
