With a box office flop, almost no lasting buzz and mixed reviews, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and fans of sharp satire. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Same wavelength as Heathers or Bottoms. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Defiant 18-year-old Adela León pushes her father and an unbending headmistress to the limit in this delicious comedy.
