Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
It made about 11 times its budget, but middling reviews (49%) and a lukewarm 6.3 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Our take: A teen romance phenomenon that split audiences down the middle. Whatever you think of it, it reshaped young-adult movies for a decade.
