This four seasons rom-com addresses love aggravated by expectations, self-expectations and the belief that you should do as you planned or everything is doomed (I personally think quite the opposite, that life is a forever changing substance and trying to restrict it to preset steps is a total waste of opportunities). Characters start with firm beliefs that are rather different but their relationship and influence they have on each other could change their perspectives and life choices.
The thing I really loved about this movie is the way Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White managed to portray the bloom of love and the growth of it adding to the predictable plot delicious nonverbal details - subtle face expressions, glances, all these i-will-sit-closer-to-you and turn-my-body-to-you signals. The movie tells the story of attraction that you can feel and no amount of low budget flaws can distract from the emotional effect of it. You will ache for them and you will root for them for their paths to be aligned in the end.

Personally, i really enjoyed this movie though there is one or two things that could have been better or done better its almost perfect. Just gotta say love the romance and chemistry between ortega and hynes white's character Remi and barnes and also the high school setting adds on to the feeling of first- young, naive love which is an aspect that made this particular movie more memorable and enjoyable. I gotta add on that the first day this movie premiered i went to go see it with friends there wasn't a huge amount of people in the cinema room that i was watching it in but it was really just a beautiful fascinating experience and as a matter of fact i would totally recommend this movie to be watched.

Both characters dont have chemistry..i got excited knowing Jenna Ortega is in the movie, coz i thought it was a good one. She did great with the acting ofcourse..but the guy's acting did not match. They could have choose another guy to play the role. Again Jenna's acting is everything, that made the movie atleast interesting.
Cant say more about the movie just really boring... Jenna deserve much better..good thing beetlejuice is coming,she can redeem herself from this awful movie. Her co actor on that movie needs to work more from that bad acting. Love the director by the way. Goodluck guys!!

A very lovely, poignant film!
Really loved Jenna Ortega's portrayal and performance as Remi, it was refreshing given all of her darker, more rugged and "rough around the edges" type of characters recently.
Can't forget to mention Percy Hynes White's portrayal and performance as Barnes! He was just too adorable. He plays the heartthrob so well!
Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White's chemistry is what really sold me on this movie though. You can tell their chemistry shines and radiates through the whole movie and they just bounce off of each other's energy, almost like you're watching two friends just have a good time without even knowing it's a movie, you know?
Excited to see what they both do next!

Jenna Ortega is too charming for this absolute flop of a movie. How this Percy Hynes White keeps getting cast in romantic comedies is beyond me, dude has less charm than a rat and his acting seems to be just him playing a version of himself. To say the script was mediocre would be a compliment. Think Tiffany Paulsen should look into other avenues than directing, she showed no style. The only thing positive was the soundtrack.
Also stop filming things in Utah and pretending they're somewhere else, it's clearly not NJ.
Hoping to see Jenna in something good soon or she should start looking at new agents. 3 flops in a row is yikes.

I have traditionally low expectations for contemporary romantic movies. Most of them are stuffy, pretentious, full of writer's/director's attempts to fit agenda and to make something likeable to everyone. And yep, we went to watch this exactly with these expectations, prepared to another one 2 stars romcom. And how surprised I was when it turned out to be very cute, touching and nostalgic.
It shows in a naturalistic way how teenagers make their first adult decisions, how cute and funny it all looks, and then remains in the memory for a lifetime.
And hmmmmm very strange, but it probably was the best role of Jenna Ortega I've seen. She rarely looks good as angry, self-centered or disappointed teenager, but is absolutely amazing as happy young girl being in love. Percy Hynes White is also a near-perfect casting choice.
So what do we have in the end:
Was very surprised and happy to watch it in Warsaw on holidays. It reminded me of my own story about the meeting on the train and all the emotions that came after. Tiffany Paulsen, thank you for this fun time.

So what do we have in the end:
- insane chemistry;
- very very good lighting, color, cinematography and music;
- simple, but such a nostalgic story;
- there are some questions to the script, pacing, real life representation and editing;
- but the first two points absolutely compensate it all.

At first I was like, "sure, Fall is Autumn," but then I was like, "wait a minute, wait a minute." If I were on a boat, clam fishing, and wondering where the hell I'm heading and how I'm going to coast back to shore as closest to departure of home base, I would be very fall fetched in my train of thought to remember anything about Autumn and its spelling. Anywho, these two lead actors are exceptional, especially on Season One of Wednesday. Media and their news outlets overrating and over portraying a dubious scene of nonsense between the pair. It is almost humorous. I am still in anticipation for the viewing of this very unique and intriguing film and movie production in relation to a past reference of a movie according to song title. I wonder how past movie ties to current titled release and it's most current release to a reference of film, time, place, recollections of past or future. Especially the starts of seasons from any given year. All things considered 2024 being a "leap" year out of its anticipated recolection.
