    Better than expected

    The acting, characters, small things that made me laugh and smile. It just got something. It got a nice, entertaining flow to it.

    So overall better than what I had expected.

    Great Story and great songs.

    I enjoyed this film. It has a feel good quality without being full of schmaltzy. The three girls are great charters. They come across as real with the normal ambitions of young teens. Down ti earth and fun with enough pathos to make the happiness real.

    A lovely feelgood film

    With excellent acting throughout. Great music and a warm and fuzzy sense of humour. No idea why people keep referring to Julie Bowen as being the "aunt" - how wrong can you be? If you want to block out the world and all its current angst curl up and watch this - it's the prefect antedote.

    It's fine

    I'd give this a 6 if it was a theatrical release. But for a streaming film I give it a 7 which I feel is slightly above average.

    As a person who was about the same age of the main character at the same year in time it was fun to see, even if most of the rest didn't really mimic my life. Perhaps I would have been more critical if it wasn't so suited for someone of my age. But I also was never into punk rock and never lost my parents or was raised by a non-biological parent. So some people could relate more to those components.

    It seems like a good film to put on with a family with people of many ages. And it's nice to have movies like that available on Netflix.

    Mixing it up..

    Although nothing oscar worthy or very original,did enjoy this & even laughed a time or two.

    It was cast & acted ok,overall storyline & cinematography decent.

    Maybe it was geared more towards teens,but something a family could watch together.

    A weekend popcorn flix,worth checking out!
