Pretty much awful

I haven't read the book. I've seen the movie with my 13 year old niece.

This is an absolute piece of trash. It's like what a perverted 30 year old ebophile thinks a high school rom-com should be.

It's not funny. The characters promote all sorts of hideous behavior as "cute". In this day and age, exactly why is a creepy, obsessive, and explicitly controlling boy treated as an object of desire the ENTIRE movie?

It's gratuitously sexist (in both directions). There's all sorts of semi-nudity for no reason other than titilation, and when that's of an underage teenage girl (actually, multiple girls), that's not funny, dramatic, or anything other than pretty sick?

The movie plays like a grooming film for girls to get used to domestic violence as a woman. Yeah that bad.
