Another funny teen dramedy on par with 'Booksmart'
A nice charmer around a surprising bonding experience that develops between two high school girls in a love triangle with a common boyfriend – Nick - where ultimately their love and kinship for each other wins out.
They both bring hilarity to most of their life events and the challenges of their new relationship - offering dining etiquette advice to movie house patrons, maintaining their clandestine but ‘rule based’ friendship, and mixing in and out of other usual high school social scenes.
Other characters that include April’s meddling, precocious little sister with an advanced vocabulary, her grounded mother, zany party pal friends and the sympathetic but wary guy pal all add to the humor set to some nice sun-drenched CA backdrops.
The moves and paths of high school to college are pretty familiar, lost jobs, driving tests finally passed, acceptance to distance separated colleges but lovable characters, their relationships and witty dialogue always makes each journey especially unique and entertaining.
The shared relationship eventually comes to a strained reckoning but the reconciliation is overcoming and the resulting love/friendship heart warming resolution even better.
Just another in a series of superbly written, witty and entertaining teen dramedies that should give ‘Booksmart’ a run for its money this year.
