This movie is a slog that unfortunately never goes anywhere with its premise. And no idea what it has an R rating as it comes off very PG-13. Most of it is a rehash of old tropes played as the tropes they are. None are subverted or mocked. And since this is listed as a comedy, I at least expected that much. No idea why this is set in the 1980's since that plays no part in the story, and all the actors basically talk and act like it's 2022. I was excited to see Elsie Fisher as I adored her in Eighth Grade, and she does an admirable job given the material, but even she couldn't save this one.

If you are going to do it as close to the book it is based on then just don't freaking do it or give it another title. This was a pile of crap. The things that were great about the book they took out. Not worth your time! From the beginning you can just tell it wasn't going to be great. Then they just threw the whole thing about the book, their friendship, out of the dang window. It was cringe for all of the movie. How sad to be Grady and know that your work was sullied in something as atrocious as this? If I was him I would have disowned it. Holy crap this poor man. Just don't watch this movie. Save yourself.
