The movie itself is decent, average, not really keeping you at the edge of your seat. Basically can be summed up by the following: "a teen girl is going through her senior year of a Catholic high school, not seeing eye to eye with her mother she wants to study at a lib arts college in NYC. She ditches her friend for the popular kids, then reunites with said friend. In the end she graduates high school, gets into college in NY and moves there." and that is more or less it. Very unsophisticated story. Boring at times. Actually made me wonder how is this movie different from half of the stuff they show on Lifetime or Hallmark. The film is funny from time to time, but also makes me wonder about the reality of what is presented. The family of the protagonist is struggling financially despite her mother working double shifts and the father having an MBA from UC Davis. Granted it's not Harvard or Stanford, but an MBA typically does make your career prospects increase. Her brother, a math graduate from Berkeley, can't seem to find a job, and it's because of the piercings in his face. Is that a big surprise? Has no one told him beforehand? Maybe the parents should have shed some light on the fact that you must look presentable whilst going to a job interview. Completely unrealistic. The acting itself was enjoyable. We can see in Ronan a rising star, although I actually preferred her performance in Brooklyn. It's a movie possibly worth seeing if you have nothing to do in the evening and feel like going to the cinema.
