Despite the occasional funny one liner, this a pretty slapdash effort. Ross Lynch took a break from this kind of role when he starred as the young Jeffrey Dahmer. He was great in that film, and I hope he makes similar moves away from this repetitive teen nonsense. He and we deserve better.
cliche fest, but im a sucker for this kind of movies =)
I’m going the opposite way of the other reviewers. I’m a fish out of water story fan. I expected this to be completely trash but I wound up liking it a lot. Despite being cliche and predictable there are some very funny moments. It’s also a better produced film than I expected. Low expectations probably led me to like this a lot more than I otherwise would. But it was very funny in parts.
I watched this in like 20 minutes (skipping) and that says it's pretty awful. Its super cliche making you feel like you are watching it for the 13000th time. I love Ross but dude wtf??
Ok I liked the people chosen for this movie larg cast would have liked it to go a little longer. The story is good and I liked the songs along with the ending. It's along the lines of can't buy me love only slightly different. You won't cry but you will laugh and feel good at the end. It's a teen movie but hey your lying if you haven't watched and enjoyed them before.
The movie has some heart, but is undercut by its attempt to be funny. The 'comedy' is a mishmash of slapstick/raunchy/stupid and it just doesn't work. The performances by Lynch and Holt are good and almost save this film. Almost.

'Big' Meets 'can't buy me love' , but not as good...
