How to Date Billy Walsh

If the Harry Potter franchise and a Nickelodeon pie-in-the-face bathroom joke-filled movie had a child, this would be it. The movie suffers because of unflattering sex jokes and constant breakage of the fourth wall. It may have been a satire, but the script was very disorderly.

I laughed only once, and ironically it was from a character who got seconds worth of screen time (the restaurant waiter). I did enjoy Charithra Chandran's performance, but she couldn't salvage the overall viewing experience.

It felt like every character was stuck in their own fairy tale universe. Plus the film tried the "influencer" type angle, complete with slow motion scenes and text message bubbles. The ending was mildly cute, but it was too little too late.

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 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.

" How to Date Billy Walsh " is a fun movie. It involves witty dialogue, and the classic trope of a love triangle between three teenagers.

However, it was... hard to watch to say the least.

The main character, Archie, is crude and hard to sympathize with. It's hard to believe that he actually cares for Millie with all of the horrible things he does throughout the movie. The only interesting characterization he has is when he speaks to the audience, and that gets old fast.

The titular Billy Walsh is supposed to be an American bad boy that the English girls swoon over. While his accent is lovely, his character is bland and flat. He has no other personality traits, or motives, behind any of his options. His use in the story is just to be a "foil" to Archie, and that is made clear.

Millie, the girl next door, and Archie's best friend, is the worst characterized out of all of them. Her purpose is to just be in love with whoever it calls for in the movie. She's bland, like a manic pixie dream girl but watered down. While she has a motivation, her mother, it fails to bring any substance to her character.

The movie's plot was boring and overdone, but no idea is original. I could excuse the overdone plot for interesting characters, motives, or really anything of interest. However, we're only met with the same predictable plot twists and endings.

This is a fun movie if you put the cringey moments and poor characterization aside. While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it's a nice movie if you've already watched all of Netflix's catalogue.

Honestly, I am just incredibly disappointed in this movie. I not only love the main actors, but the premise and trailers I had watched made It look interesting and good.

But please, believe me when I say: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

It might actually be the worst movies I have ever watched. I don't ever review movies, especially bad ones, but I felt an obligation to warn others to stay away from this one. Not only were the characters underdeveloped and shallow, but the main (what I believe to be) protagonist of the film actively made me hate it. I love Sebastian Croft, but never have ever I believed that a character should receive a horrible ending more than Archie in this movie. Also, the direction and dialogue in this film may be some of the worst I've seen (basically all creative direction was bad: costumes, cinematography, audio...) making it even worse than just the characters and morals. I don't even think I can summarize how terrible this movie is so I am just going to leave it at: Do not watch. Not only a waste of time, but 101 minutes of my life I will never get back (and neither will you).
