Good concept but...

The idea behind the narrative is honestly very interesting, however, Disney's execution did not live up to its expectations. Extremely 2-dimensional characters with stereotypical character arcs. self-obsessed, pretty, popular girl is actually nice and considerate. the nerdy boy is fun, cute and ends up making friends & a girlfriend. An unbelievably annoying and self-centred protagonist! Seemingly everything she did was aggravating, not to mention her extremely boring superpower (which she hardly ever used throughout the entire plot). Feels like they were trying so hard to make her character stand out and be 'cool' but it just didn't land. The only thing likeable about the protagonist was her taste for certain bands, which are visually represented through bag patches and posters.

Best part of the entire film was watching a 15 year old girl get absolutely flattened by a very large tree, while another teen (with absolutely no strength-like abilities) effortlessly lifts said tree to help her friend. All the while, a fully grown man gets pushed over, thus injuring him so much that he is hospitalised for the rest of the film. Probably the most entertaining scene I've watched in a while so i do give them credit for that.
