"it's okay that Im a manipulative piece of shit! I'm not conventionally attractive!"
~this movie
This movie could have actually been good if the script and a few actors delivered their lives a bit better. Would have been nice to see a girl trying to win the affection of her crush while trying to catfish him as well seeing the mess unfold around her and eventually realizes that what she done was wrong and admits to what she did. But instead, we get a movie trying to justify being a nice girl.
Nothing says body positivity like getting an actor to constantly disparage her own looks for a shitty movie
A perfectly fine-looking actor, no less 😳
I'd like this movie better if she were the villain instead of the protagonist, and didn't get the guy in the end. It could show that just because someone is an "underdog" doesn't mean they're not capable of evil things. The movie would at least be more interesting, and also wouldn't tell their audience that catfishing and kissing someone without their consent or even knowledge is forgivable, and that you deserve a second chance.
A character can be the villain and protagonist at the same time. A protagonist is just the lead character in the story. It would just mean the 'good guy', if there is one, would be the antagonist.
@@ScionStorm1 That's a good point.
Peter pettigrew is a great example of an evil villain underdog
On this note, there's a great quote from the new season of The Expanse "You think that because someone is the underdog, you automatically think they're the good guy"
As a man, i would canceled so hard for doing half the shit Sierra Burgess does in this film. This film is teaching girls and boys to be deceitful and creepy.
I yearn for the day they stop with the accessory gay best friend trope
And black best friend trope imo 😕 nothing against the actor himself though
was he gay?
@@iCupcakeMelaniex3 extremely, there was a 10 min scene of him making love to his boyfriend; it ruled.
Why not mix the gay friend and black friend trope? This way you can have two token characters in the price of one?
Ah, probably because they would die before the begining of the movie
But seriously, is it really that difficult to write characters instead of tropes?
@@angelikaskoroszyn8495 if they cant write tropes, they will just lean into serious tokenism. I doubt any of these writers know how to write an actual character.
Sierra, to her parents, unironically: YoU gAvE mE tHe UgLy!
yeah but I think teenagers girls actually do that, I mean I did it 10 years ago.
I was the worst teen ever
@Ali Maldonado Heredia true!
I'm still mad at my father for giving me all the bald genes. That's really traumatizing when you're 19.
@@FreakazoidRobots Actually men get their hair pattern from their mothers side so blame her instead lol
@@walruso5745
Oh, damn. Guess I owe dad an apology.
The reason I really dislike this movie is because Sierra Burgess isn't a loser...she's just horrible from the ground up. All she ever does is use and manipulate people, only to then betray those around her when she can't use them for her own gain.
The worst part is that she still has the gall to constantly cry and blubber about how she is so unattractive and that's why she is never given a chance by anyone and blame everyone else for not accepting her. Basically it's r/nicegirls the movie. She learns nothing, loses nothing, and changes nothing.
While we're at it: There's the shallow nature of beauty standards, and then there's just poor hygiene. Needless to say, I think we can all see which side of that not-so-fine line Sierra stands on in this scenario.
Oof... That was a burn lol
Sounds like diary of a wimpy kid girl version
She is quite the femcel
@@amberrichards2778 This might sound dumb of me, but I didn't know there was a term that stated a specific equivalent to the term incel. You would think that I would've picked up on that at some point before now, but live and learn I guess lol XD
Sierra looks like she smells fr
"im like quasimodo, the 'malformed' person who the whole village wants to kill"
*literally has a very pretty face and is just a few pounds heavier than most female movie leads*
honestly as an actual fat person who would probably be considered ugly by a lot of people, this kind of shit is honestly a bit insulting lmao
You really notice it when she stands up straight. Odd thing to say, I know- but when she stands up straight you realize she has a neck, a chin, and is just a few pounds overweight. I’m glad someone else pointed out this isn’t Hairspray.
“Hollywood ugly”
Right? Like I'm disabled and was made fun of for my disability and scars in high school, so seeing a cute chubby girl compare herself to Quasimodo makes me want to jump off a bridge.
@@amorrow271 absolutely understandable tbh
It's also weird how this is her retort to being called a hobbit.
If Veronica was the main character the film would have been far better.
Honestly I remember this one Japanese tv show where a fat and unpopular girl switched bodies with this popular skinny girl, and ended up losing all the girl's friends because it qas the attitude that mattered. The show then went a step further and pointed out how her bitter attitude qas a result of having poor role models at home, and the protagonish helped improve her home life. Idk if the show was necessarily 100% progressive or whatever, but it's message was soo much better than this movie's.
@@flufflepuffle that sounds interesting, what's the title?
"your looks are the least ugly thing about you."
Awe she called her cute.
Bless your soul for being able to sit though that cringe "romance" film lol
I was listening more than watching and so when you said "introduces herself as deaf", for some dumb reason for a moment I thought you said "introduces herself as Death", like "Greetings, I am the Grim Reaper."
I'm going to start entering rooms with that line.
Far too many romantic movies create romance around a bad behavior. Like catfishing in this movie, but above all infidelity. Infidelity is not a romantic way to meet, and in terms of probability, it is a very bad factor for the relationship. Those who write the scripts for all these films have a sick and harmful view of romance.
or they have not experienced romance before.
like, they write what they know about
She’s actually exactly his type??? Then why’d he ask out the tiny, dark haired cheerleader?
Everything in this movie is so caricatured and cliché that it feels like they could have played it as a parody of bad teen romance movies and it would’ve come out decent, instead of taking itself seriously and just being an actual bad teen romance movie.
"Friendship", more like "partners in crime" 😂 The idea of that dinamic was good though, too bad their shared experience was a criminal endeavour.
i mean, nothing bonds people as much as breaking the law.
@@comyuse9103 That remains true until one of your law-breaking companions turns your over to the police to save their skin.
This is like the most shallow, creepy retelling of Cyrano I've ever seen (commentaryforbecauseididnotwatchitachem)
Also, seriously, did they forget that Cyrano is a TRAGEDY, Roxanne loved both men, and neither one ended up with her??
This movie should just be titled, "Sierra Burgess is an a-hole."
If it was not for you i could never made the conection to cyrano, like i did not see it at all...
And i was in a production of that play!
The only conection to cyrano is telling someone else what to say in a date, that’s the only thing in common
came looking for this comment
For IMHO a better gender-flipped Cyrano, try my generation's _The Truth About Cats & Dogs_
Not to mention Cyrano himself was lovable and charming by way of his wit good humor and intellectual prowess
@@dwc1964 love that movie! Good call!
Between the nonsense quotes and the dead look in his eyes, Sierra's dad looks like a Jojo villain with the power to take over your brain if he can make you say, "What?"
Imagine if u and ur wife were about to get married and Sierra just jumps out and swaps places with ur wife and marries you instead
OH MY GOD lol
It really feels like the film was *trying* to have this empowering message about how "what matters is what's in your heart" but scrabled the letters along the way to end up with a story about the girl power of catfishing.
Looking forward to the essay!
This movie is bad but gives me ideas? Like, we could have a movie with two characters, sierra being a classic pretentious nerd who demonizes pretty, superficial girls because of her own insecurities with her appearance. And then veronica, who has the looks and the charm but hates the smart girl because she herself struggles with the expectations to be the perfect girl. I would not make one of them the bullied and the other the bully, instead putting them at equal level. Then you *can* have the wrong number plot, and make it bring them together, but instead of intensifying the catfish have them bond and sierra confess that she acknowledged that she is doing a shitty thing and the guy doesn't deserve it, but she's too anxious to tell him the truth, to which her friends help her build confidence to do. And the payoff wouldn't have to be that she gets the guy, but that she is more interested in being "beautiful inside" and being a good person, even without getting the guy. Sierra and Veronica become better people and help each other with their problems and insecurities and form a true friendship. There it is, a less shitty movie with only a few changes.
(Alternatively, in a happy universe, there could be a similar movie but about sierra and veronica falling in love with each other.)
THIS. The creators would have then (at least) been able to achieve their goal of creating a relatable teen movie with a positive message about self-esteem, breaking stereotypes, and deconstructing the whole "not like the other girls" crap. Plus we would've seen far more substantial character development, even with the whole catfishing plotline (which admittedly is an entertaining premise if the characters aren't so rewarded for it). I finished the movie with pretty much the same response as you - left thinking about alternative plotlines, 'cause I honestly felt like there *was* a *potentially* good movie somewhere in that two-hour mess lol.
pretty sure this is already an anime. cant remember the name tho
@@ana-isabel i think it would have been good to give Veronica a learning disability like dyslexia, which would explain why she needed help with her English class. And her need to seem perfect to others would be why she didn't seek it out sooner.
it's called Cyrano de Bergerac, you're welcome
@@torfinnzempel6123 Struggling in school doesn't require a learning disability. LOL. Everyone develops their mind in a different way, with different factors playing a part. I've always been very good at math. Because my mind was great at that, I wasn't as good at writing. That was years ago. Now, I help people write speeches and even write short pieces from time to time. Everyone is welcomed to read them anytime.
One of my favorite things to do is listen to people break down bad movies that I've never watched because I don't have to do the work of sitting through a bad movie to get the funny bits :^) would love to see more of this format!!
Or, y'know, you can have a mind of your own and watch the films themselves instead of letting other people form opinions for you?
After watching the whole thing: I agree with you, Sierra's insecurities are greatly overplayed and come across more as cartoonish than genuine. That script physically hurt.
I think that is a remnent, the only real one since the butchered the moral and the actual story, of the play this is supposedly based uppon.
This movie is just dripping with "It's ok when girls do it!"
Might have been better as an LGBT movie with Sierra and Veronica ending up together.
Why? Sierra hurt Veronica too.
@@mynameisreallycool1 Like what if it played out differently and before the guy wants to see Veronica, Sierrra declines because she fell in love with Veronica?
@@x_slaughotto_x3129 Probably not, because Sierra had already shown by then how toxic she is. That would be after she started catfishing him, right? I don't ship Sierra with anyone tbh. She needs a therapist, not a love interest.
She shouldve lost in the end. It would be refreshing to see a main character that has to deal with the results of their horrible actions
this just makes me want a sapphic movie where the unpopular girl trying to get the boy has popular mean girl as her wingman but they fall for eachother instead (and also maybe gay best friend gets the popular guy instead)
I'm pretty sure Sex Education has multiple permutations of everything you mentioned...? More or less?
_Degrassi Next Class_ sortof kindof barely does this with Tristan and Miles except for some reason Zoe and Maya never ended up together (perhaps if the show hadn’t ended??)
wait omg I want this too
As someone who was in band in high school... the conversation that's going on while the band is doing a run-through of a song is major cringe!
I've been catfished by my (at the time) closest friend. (we were not friends after that)
And while I could understand the heartache she must've gone through.... that still doesn't excuse the heartache she put me trough. I was crying soo many nights over shit she pretended was happening to this character she'd made up. And it's a very complex issue / situation. Bc she was probably crying a lot too. She cried a lot when I said I didn't wanna be her friend. Something this complex can't be just a "funny plot in a movie".... or well... they clearly did it. But I find it very troubling... I find it very verryyyy troubling that it might give this idea to young people or make someone who was already doing it feel righteous about it. Bc in reality it's not a fun time for anyone. And it doesn't work out. Even if someone would end up with their "target" they would probably still have self doubt and low self esteem and the situation would just be.... like... ugh... I can't even XD there's too much to say about this topic. It's a complex problem.
*I JUST REALIZED!* the Japanese Netflix series switched is EXACTLY like this movie! Except the girl that was lying is considered the villain (for a time anyway) and she doesn't get the guy at the end. Carzy how similar these stories are lol
Out of all the reviews I've watched for this movie no one has mentioned that horribly awkward "pretending to be mute" moment, and I thank you for that lol Awesome rant/ review, been loving the content!
Thank you! Oh man, that "deaf" moment had me sink in my seat lol.
This kind of movie can actually be seriously damaging for people... I sincerely hope nobody takes the messages of this to heart
Yesss! I really would have liked it if Jamie stayed out of the picture after he knew what Sierra did. And I would haves loved it if they didn’t make up like bffs again as soon as she heard the song. Like they could have ended it in both of them going to the dance together and saying something like let’s see what happens. Because she really hurt Veronica too, so it would have been nice if she made it clear that she would take her time to let Sierra back in
now you taught me "swoon", and this to be a netflixian genre. thx for saving me time, and still enabling me to seem to be opinionated.
All of the criticisms people have against Sierra are so valid, but a lot of them can be applied to Veronica too and never are. The main problems with Sierra are that we are always supposed to be rooting for her, the cat fishing, of course, and her assaulting Jaime. Veronica is helping Sierra catfish Jaime almost the entire time, and also helped with the assault scene so why is she never criticized for it? I understand she had much more depth than Sierra but that doesn’t mean she’s void from those criticisms. (This isn’t @ the creator of this video, I’ve just seen a pattern in who people criticize)
Well Veronica is a better character and also she is not the one rewarded by the movie after all her bad behaviour.
Totally get what you mean. I guess I would chalk it up to "we already knew we didn't like this girl and she isn't the MC so we'll brush it aside." Definitely agree though. Out of the two of them Veronica is just as bad, if not worse, since she kinda started the whole thing in the first place.
In my opinion it has to do with the fact that Sierra is the protagonist and we are supposed to root for her while Veronica isn't and we are even encouraged to hate her or more accurately her mean girl archetype. The mean girl archetype is never the one whose behaviour we are supposed to support, the main character's are. The problem isn't necessarily the things being done, its the fact that protagonist doing them makes it seem that there isn't a problem with it and Sierra being rewarded at the end further makes it seem like her behaviour was okay.
@@helforsite3130 I love your point!
@@Chachixo yea but Sierra decided to continue it. Yes Veronica gave Jamie Sierra's number, but Sierra decided to go along with the catfishing. Veronica wasn't that bad compared to Sierra, but that doesn't excuse the fact she accomplices Sierra
This movie should've been called Breaking Barb

Shit that was bad
Not as bad as the script, at least! x)
This is Cyrano de Bergerac. Just roles reversed and worse. Way way worse.
a person of culture i see 🧐
Exactly! I love that play and they just made it awful
I'll be honest, I only know of that book from Wishbone.
I was was wondering where I remembered this premise from
This is a modern version of "Roxanne, starring Steve Martin."
So it’s a play on the Cyrano de Bergerac story: the main character is gifted with words but not super attractive. With a sexual assault twist, lol.
Anyway she’s not ugly. She has a really cute smile-I’d date her. If she dressed up she would probably look sharp. Idk. Beauty is only skin deep-and age catches up to everyone eventually. A good personality is a must in a real relationship.
I also know from experience lmao. Definitely would have been bullied more
My go-to back in the day was to not only flex some level of "intellectual superiority" but literally rip off famous TV/movie quotes. Yeah... didn't go down well for me lol
@@ana-isabel this hurts to read because I did the same. Cheers to reliving the cringe of childhood past
"i'm not short and hairy, i am hideously ugly!"
yeah, thats not gonna work for anyone
I read the title as Sierra Boggess at first and I was about to throw hands since she's one of my favorite theatre actresses and my favourite Christine
This movie was basically an inverse of the usual “underdog rising up”. Instead of being from the perspective of the protagonist (Veronica), it is instead from the perspective of the antagonist (Sierra).
Veronica is a girl with a troubled past and struggles with her social life, being trapped in the “mean girl” image. She then finds herself being tutored by someone she regularly bullies, and develops a friendship. Gradually, she learns to love herself and move beyond the role her family brought onto her and learns how to be truly happy.
Sierra is a spiteful girl who feels society has wronged her. All of her problems are caused by her appearance (which she can’t control) and the opinions of others. She regularly blames everyone else, and so became a manipulative person to gain some sense of control in her life, especially when it is over those who wronged her. She becomes the tutor of her bully, and learns that her life isn’t as perfect as she initially thought, but this doesn’t matter to her. The only reason she is there is to gain more control and manipulate the boy who thinks she is somebody else. When she discovers Veronica is becoming her own individual, she attempts to tarnish her opportunity towards happiness, all to fulfill a sick desire to be on top by tearing everyone down because she feels she deserves everything just because society didn’t automatically life her on everybody’s shoulders.
Anecdotally, I've known a few girls who considered themselves ugly or alternative (even when they really weren't), who identited with downtrodden, "class-revolutionary" villains.
They saw no issue with the ends justifying the means, which was often the intended lesson (usually along with the idea that lowering everyone and creating conflict among your allies being a bad idea with unintended consequences that only benefit villains).
There is a market for this, it's just not a good thing to teach.
Never seen the film, no interest in ever seeing it. Still a very enjoyable Rant/Review. I agree about her just being average looking. I'm so sick of the "ugly" characters in films being either okay looking, super hot but with a birthmark or superhot and given frumpy glasses. Come have a look at my street casting directors! We got dozens of truely ugly people and I'm sure they would be willing to work for cheap!
I just dont get this movie. The whole thing about her being ugly just doesnt make sense and honestly really fucks with my self esteem. If she is considered "ugly", what am I then?
Cyrano de Bergerac: An "ugly" man who falls in love with a woman (Roxanne) who loves a better looking guy (Christian) who isn't very smart. So he and Christian work together to catfish her and he writes her letters under the disguise of Christian name. Then Roxanne wants to meet directly so Cyrano whispers lines to Christian in the darkness so he can say the witty things Cyrano wants to say. He then finally decides to push Christian out of the way and speak to Roxanne directly and wins a kiss. Etc.
Sierra Burgess... Cyrano Bergerac... It's the same story and the writers definitely weren't clever enough to play it off at all.
The play that this mess is based on is “Cyrano de Bergerac l” by Edmond Rostand. And while the plot shares some superficial similarities with this movie the handling is very different. It’s actually a really good play (you should give it a read).
Yeah! I was also thinking that. The story of this is like Cyrano, but without the war. X) edit: oh, and without the happy ending (even if I think that the end of Cyrano is beautiful)
@@Donklopfen also the name Sierra is kind of a girl version of Cyrano.
It’s one of my personal favorites. The end is so sad though. Don’t get me worng there is something noble about it, and it certainly fits the moral, but sometimes I want these characters to get a happy ending. Good thing we have the movie Roxanne then eh?
@@MissCaraMint the ending is really beautiful. Sometimes a happy ending can cheapen a story. I really like the Cyrano de Bergerac starring Gerard Depardieu.
i also watch netflix by sitting on the edge of my bed with the laptop on my lap and nothing to make my back comfortable. i feel seen.
So this was apparently based on Cyrano de Bergerac? Did they miss the fact that Cyrano was a tragedy?
And that Cyrano doesn’t get the girl, and is in fact selflessly sacrificing his own chances with the one he loves so he can help someone els woo her, because he thinks that will make her happier.
"Catfishing Is Cool: The Movie"
So it's teenage Cyrano de Bergerac with Barb from Stranger Things where Barb creepily stalks someone and somehow gets the boy in the end.
“hi... I mean, hey”
_As if those don’t mean the same thing?_
90's style "where are they now" endings are the best!
Thank you for this. Catfishing is creepy and immoral. I don't care who it is and I don't care for the reason. It's nothing something good and it's not something that should be glorified.
Not to mention, the main character is kinda terrible but they treat her like an angel????
Badass choker. Looks dope AF.
This looked terrible for its murky message. Sierra's a teenager who doesn't learn from her mistakes and she got the guy too easily. This is a Mary sue romance film.
Honestly it frustrates me that modern media has trashed Nice Guys but this bull crap is praised.
Is it just me or is there a very faint beating sound in the background of this whole video like someone beating a tom-tom drum very lightly from about 10 feet away
Yes! It was distracting me
It's like a really bad version of Cyrano de Bergerac. Really bad.
I think the movie would’ve been 10000% better if Sierra fell for the “mean girl” LIKE IMAGINE
13:04 “You’re exactly my type.” ...
Oh, so the gorgeous blonde girl you were chasing after the entire movie just didn’t do anything for you?
You’re right. Sierra isn’t unattractive, just a little chubby, and honestly, she’s cute enough that hormonal high school boys would be interested, but within reason. She wouldn’t have every guy in school trying to date her.
As a long-time gay tinder catphish, I can confirm that the Sierra Burgess movie is bad
9:09 yeah that's literally sexual assault by deception. I feel it's my duty to point this out as a feminist to show that we care about men's consent too
Truuue!
How does Noah not realize the blaringly obvious voice differences ??
Every time I thought it couldn't get any worse... It got worse
Look, your thumbnails are very unfair, your eyes are hypnotizing
I like how people will say a certain piece of media originated from somewhere else and say it's less trash because of it. If u get food from the trash it's still trash.
God this is so weird, I had some girl do nearly this exact same thing to me back in highschool only she was pretending to be a guy on my rowing team I carpooled with. Texted my teammate for months thinking it was him, and nope, it was her. Pretending to be him to talk to me.
Super fucking weird.
A better film I recommend that is also on Netflix(surprisingly) The Half Of It. It’s really good and I think many can relate to it more than this movie 💀
i didn't know this movie existed but now i want the whole writing and producing team questioned on why they thought this was an ok message for a movie truly baffled. id watch this if the had in honest look at it with commentary
I knew your channel would start to grow exponentially sooner or later
Quality content can't stay hidden for too long
Awww omg thank you! The growth's been pretty crazy (and unexpected) lately, can't be grateful enough! 😵
I really do think the movie would have been so much better if Sierra hadn't gotten the boy or at least made an effort to apologize that was truthful to him and try a friendship that could lead to more but leaves it open-ended. Sierra should have taken a good look in the mirror and see the nastiness she had in her and do better.
"can you imagine if the roles were reversed?" i don't have to, Revenge of the nerds exist. Both cases are disgusting
BRO THIS IS SO FUCKING AWKWARD, that car star scene
If you'd like to see a very similar concept, but done *well*, I highly recommend The Half of It on Netflix. It challenges high school stereotypes AND calls characters out when they do stupid crap.
I agree that Sierra's appearance is not awkward enough to make this dialog work. I saw her without the Barb hair and thick 80s glasses and thought “hey, she looks nice!” Heck, she's not too far off from someone I dated in high school. At the very least, giving her a little acne would have been more relatable.
I actually really like your film critique. :) I subscribed after seeing your Manic Pixie Dream Girl video, so I'm biased in favor of media critique rather than stuff like cosplay commentary.
For the impressionable teenagers from a man who has inadvertently played the Jamie part; don’t just don’t.
I would rather spend 15-30 minutes listening to a well thought out analysis of not so well thought out movie. Time being our most important and overlooked resource, thankyou and subbed!
Just based on what I learned in this review, I feel like Jumanji did a better job subverting the mean girl trope.
Just wanted to say as someone who randomly stumbled upon your videos i really enjoy your pop culture stuff like your videos about underappreciated shows and movie reviews like this one. I think you are doing a really good job, cutting straight to the point.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the dad was Alan Ruck from Ferris Bueller's day off.
would love to see more reviews from you. this was so well done!
The it always sunny op, got me! I love it's always sunny lol. Thanks for the vid, well done.
"We had a moment" ~ Sierra -------- "Did you though?" ~ Ana Isabel
Soooo...imma need you to make like a million movie review episodes because I’m OBSESSED.
Jesus Christ this is horrifying and so mean imagine if this was real it would be horrible omg the poor soul
The first thing I don't like about this movie is that it condones Sierra's actions. Obviously.
The second thing is that Sierra is constantly belittling her own appearance, and the film acts like she's right about it. She's so pretty! She has a pretty face, really nice hair, and clear skin. She may be chubby, but she's not obese by any means.
I'd get it if they were going for a "She doesn't know she's beautiful" thing. But they don't. They are actually trying to tell me that I'm seeing an ugly girl!
I do like the cheerleader character's arc tho. She learns to open up and drop the perfect fassade. Its a shame they started her out as a bully archetype. Oh, also- am I misremembering or does she get back with her abusive boyfriend? Is that plot even resolved?
This is just getting us prepped for the Netflix crossover with tall girl
Will actually be down to cringe-watch that lmao
Just found your channel and I’m already binging old uploads. Really like your work, and you have a perfect VO voice!
Holy shit! Did you just double your subs in a week?!?! I swear it was only 16k when I looked a minute ago! That's pretty amazing. Well done.
I've had trouble processing it myself tbh, I guess the algorithm just works in strange ways hahaha! Thank you! 😊
Seems like you're about to get swept up into the algorithm. Congratulations and good luck 👍
Netflix also did another teen drama catfish movie and YA novel adaptation called "The Half of It." Ellie Chu is a bookish teenager that helps her friend catfish a girl they both like.
Although The Half of It does seem better than Sierra Burgess is a Loser.
Less bad movie 'bout a bad person, more decent movie about a likable character that hurts someone and then tries to fix it.
top tier content, for some reason there is nothing i love more than someone telling me why something is bad
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was wonderful and is ridiculously underrated
Couldn't agree more.
So this is what happened to Camren after high school... Where’s Ferris?
Wait, they made another adaptation of the ole Cyrano de Bergerac switcheroo??? These things never go well.
This is TBH the first time I've seen anything about this movie. And when you got to the scene with the switch-kiss I immediately flashed on the Darth Vader scene in _Revenge Of The Nerds_ ... at least this was just a kiss, but still ... no. NO. I'd thought that was well understood by now.
I love your movie/trope reviews! I hope you keep making them, I just came across your channel.
PLS CONTINUE THIS SERIES OMFG I LOVE THIS VIDEO❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just found this channel, and oh boy, I'm happy that I did. You're amazing and your videos make work a funnier. I do liked the format a lot, would love to see you breakdown other movies in this format. Thank you for the content, merry christmas and happy new year
Aw you're so sweet - thank you; seems like many enjoyed this format too so looking forward to making more reviews like this haha!
Great video. Can't wait to see more.
Also the dad is just the literary version of Gus Johnson's "guy who can't stop quoting movies" character lol
Yeah, back when my sister and I watched this movie, we basically came to the same conclusions. It's not inherently bad, just bogged down by bad characterization and how creepy it all comes off as in this day and age.
Yeah, this format really works for you, Ana. I love your video essays, but more of these would be great to see!
