Sidelined: The QB and Me

I didn't expect a wattpad movie to be this decent. I have been disappointed by modern romcoms and their cringy acting, but this film was far from it. Both leads acted well and there was true chemistry between them. The story was believable and even navigated grief and loss in a sensitive and insightful way.

I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack choices to the point where I would pause the movie just to google the songs. Of course it's still a wattpad romcom so don't go expecting the most powerful and unpredictable plot. But compared to the sloppiness of modern romcoms, this one was a great watch.

Why does literally nobody talk about the hickey or mark on Noah Becks neck the whole movie ( besides one little part, but still!) .... And I genuinely don't get the context on why it's there yeah, in the movie he's supposed to come across as a "player" but nothing is said of it the whole film and it's there the whole film.. Overall I thought this movie would be cheesy because a TikTok star was casted as the main role but it really was all not that bad! It had some emotional parts that actually made me tear up a little bit. It's a great movie that represents real world problems about friendships, balance, and family. I would definitely recommend to people to watch this but still so confused about the hickey/ mark but oh well!! 😂😂

I don't even know how to explain how lovely it was to watch this movie. I honestly gave it a shot because I've always found Siena Agudong to be a beautiful and talented actor but was always in roles that just somehow missed the mark. I had hope this one would hit the nail on the head.

It did! And she did! And even better, the entire cast was great. The "conflict" was very mild but that was a welcome thing in this current world we live in.

It was just a lovely and harmless love story between two really likable characters living the same lives and situations as we all do but coming out on top.

This was a believable and sweet love story and everything I wanted when I started watching...even if I didn't expect it.

Siena has REALLY grown and matured in her acting and her personality. I think she could be on for some really great roles if she keeps this up.

Would watch again.

What a cute Wattpad adaptation. I couldn't stop giggling, smiling, and kicking my feet like a middle schooler having a crush for the first time in her life.

The storyline is good. The acting is not so bad.

Noah Beck's acting is surprisingly decent and he was pretty damn charming to watch.

Noah & Siena's characters are so cute together.

Siena and her brother's dynamic is interesting and fun to watch.

Besides the obvious love story, one of my favorite things about this movie is DREW RAY TANNER. I had never seen him in any other movies or TV shows except for Riverdale, but he was one of my favorite characters in that weird show.

It was exactly what I expected, storyline-wise. But I didn't expect the depth or chemistry between the cast. I put off watching it for a bit because I thought why watch another teenaged romcom when once you've seen one, you've seen them all, but I was caught up in the storyline faster than expected.

There are plenty of moments of swoonworthy lines and scenes. The dialogue felt relatable and comfortable in delivery, which I was certain was going to be the downfall.

Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it predictable? 100%. Does it follow the same recipe of every other movie in its genre? Definitely. But is it worth the watch? Absolutely!
