How to Date Billy Walsh

I would have stopped with the topic. But because it's required that over 600 words has to be said, here we go First Brit high school comedies should explore out of the horizon of trying to be like that show" Sex Education" I mean its getting old. All about a boy was a great high school movie..I could see Britain and the uniqueness that the Brits were trying to bring to bare.

Two stop trying to be American. It sucks. There's a difference between American and British schools. It's clear..the terms for being funny in America is quite different in the UK.

I couldn't relate with this movie even when its clear about the story line. It just isn't funny. It was boring and all over the place. The actors weren't even helping matters .. They clearly needed a better cast than this out of place mediocre and annoying to watch casts.

We have seen this movie 1,000,000 times, and i dont get why hollywood tries so hard to wanna make Tanner Buchanan into a super cool badass character, he clearly is not and it shows they try to hard every time in every movie.

And, dude, she knew the guy for 2 weeks , that made me roll my eyes in the secreat revealing part in the intercom.

Is not bad, its just a good sunday movie to put in the back while you scroll your phone and fold laundry.

Acting is nit bad, i laughed at the "you have an amazing bone structure line"

I also like how billy left her in thebdate and did not take her crap lol.

This film has such a good cast, actors from shows like Heartstopper, Bridgerton, The Big Bang Theory plus Nick Frost bumbling around is background for some unexplained reason. Is he the chauffeur? Why is Nick Frost the chauffeur? Has he done something wrong which means he can't be the star of a film anymore? In addition, the sets are stunning, the music is good, they clearly haven't penny punched while making this film. It's such a shame that the result is so much less than the sum of its parts. The result is a chaotic, rushed mess of a film with far too much breaking of the fourth wall and one of those relationships where you're supposed to believe two people are perfect for each other but they end up hurting each other because they can't be honest with each other. Honesty is the basis of a good relationship, I'm never going to root for a couple who only obstacle is their inability to tell each other they love one another.

I really wanted to like this. The movie has a great cast and, to give them their due, the weakness isn't in the cast performance here, they do a great job with the dire material they have to work with.

There's nothing new or original about the story. It's a poor British attempt to replicate an American high school movie trope that has been told a thousand times. I'm unsure how you can remake a movie that has been made so many times before yet get it so wrong.

I get that the design of the film is supposed to be slightly off the wall, but it borders on cartoonesque. If it not for the occasional swear word or discussion of sex toys, this could be an episode of any Nickelodeon or Disney show.

The characters, writing and story is all paper thin.

I'm really unsure who the audience is for this, it's too adult in content for the tween audience, it's too immature for older young adults, it doesn't have the sarcasm or self-awareness to please an older audience.

I think watchers took it literally. Especially the overdone tropes and the storyline we have seen a million times. If I went into it expecting to watch a "serious" romcom I would leave disappointed but in the same breath the direction the movie was going to take was very clear in the first few minutes and from there it was easy to figure out that it is not going to be as "serious" as one would like it to be.

The exaggeration of the popular tropes and characteristics of the mean girl and her clique, the cool boy, the athletes, and the less popular came off as deliberate, and to me that served as comedic relief rather than actually being bad. I had a lot of "laugh out loud" moments where it was really funny and I liked that the movie carried that same comedic aspect throughout and up until the end as opposed to dropping it mid-movie like most romcoms do. The exaggeration and over-dramatization of these characters and the events that take place IS what makes it funny. It's almost as though the movie was taking a dig at all the worn out highschool romcom tropes.

I really believe that changing your perspective will heavily influence your viewing experience. If you take all the cringy scenes and worn-out concepts and see that they were deliberate and not meant to be taken literally you will have a pleasurable viewing experience.

It was a lighthearted and funny watch. I would recommend it.
