Yeah, this one's kinda wack. It's a movie where you want to scream at the protagonist for the stupid decisions he continues to make throughout

I hope they stocked plenty of Gatorade on the set of this movie…with the constant stream of tears, this cast surely stayed dehydrated.

His letter toI hope they stocked plenty of Gatorade on the set of this movie…with the constant stream of tears, this cast surely stayed dehydrated. Ben Platt returns to his Tony-winning role as a high schooler with psychological issues. His letter to himself gets misconstrued in ways that cause great pain for him and others. You have to get over his age (he’s 28 playing 17), because Platt is still mesmerizing. His singing is packed with emotion and depth, while his performance is complex and compelling. Almost all of the songs are plaintive, sad tearjerkers. The themes around social media and other teen issues become the dominant story. Director Stephen Chbosky presents the songs in a straightforward manner (sometimes cutaways to supporting events), but no flashy re-imagining. Even though I saw the musical on stage, my tendency is not to compare them, but the theatre version seemed more fun and dramatic, while this film leans heavily on the teen angst. As a result, this is a too-long tearfest with some strong moments and a lot of message.… Expand

Far from the worst thing ever. Yeah, Platt looks really out of place but his co-stars are also in their mid-20s. As far as the story goes… like, it’s weird but hardly offensive. Sure the intended audience will like it.

Having never seen the original stage production, I was unsure of what to expect, but excited nonetheless as I love a good musical. I am also a huge fan of Stephen Chbosky, as well as Justin Paul, so I had high hopes. With that being said, theHaving never seen the original stage production, I was unsure of what to expect, but excited nonetheless as I love a good musical. I am also a huge fan of Stephen Chbosky, as well as Justin Paul, so I had high hopes. With that being said, the movie fell flat on nearly every aspect necessary for a good movie/musical. The music was not memorable (the singing was amazing, don't get me wrong) and sometimes felt arbitrary. I found it difficult to support the main character as he continued to make one bad decision after another. And not only did the main character make decisions that were hard to get behind, but so did the supporting characters, leaving you no one to root for. At the end of the day, the movie was interesting, and kept my attention, but I probably would not watch it again. I kept on waiting for the "big reveal" to happen, and when it did, it was unsatisfying. If you're bored one night, give this a shot, but don't expect anything mind-blowing.… Expand

A faithful adaptation that is sure to please both fans and newcomers alike. While it does play it safe and is fairy straightforward creatively, the performances ultimately sell it. Can’t say that the general premise/plot progression isn’t extremely weird and questionable, but that’s been an issue long before its big screen debut.… Expand
