The leading actress was so exceptional in Descendants plus overall reviews for this movie were very good, we had high hopes going in. There was pretty good character development but it starts out with the stereotypical troubled teens/romanceThe leading actress was so exceptional in Descendants plus overall reviews for this movie were very good, we had high hopes going in. There was pretty good character development but it starts out with the stereotypical troubled teens/romance type plot we've all seen a million times so naturally we expected there must be some new twist to make this good. Sadly the unusual or creative twist never came so we thought well then it must have an incredible ending, yet there too we were very disappointed. There's nothing new or interesting here folks so I recommend you stay away and save your money.… Expand

The movie is not sure what it is about and repeatedly contradicts foundational elements throughout.

In one scene, discuss how the main character is sensitive and open-hearted, while the very next scene it talks about how he is guarded and and distrusting. Which is it? Then the main character is supposed to be a "popular/cool" kid, who peaks during his high school career, but then there is a scene where the star athlete and class president says everyone thinks he's a joke. Which is it? This movie simply throws cliches out there and apparently convinced a lot of people they are "realistic." Also, the "teens" don't act or talk like teens. It's a shame such a talented cast was wasted here. But I thought this movie was terrible and am worse off from watching it.… Expand
