The Last Summer

5/10 - somewhat entertaining, but several random storylines and a lack of focus made this one not very memorable

A superficial look into teenage youth, The Last Summer offers a glimpse into the lives of teenagers, which should be interesting, but ultimately falls flat. The characters from the beginning aren't interesting enough to invest any emotion in. The Last Summer is another typical Netflix teenage drama, utterly unenjoyable.

Setting unrealistic expectations of young love and romance to the younger generation.

Maia Mitchell was her typical self. Great acting. The rest of the cast was beyond terrible. At times it was hard to watch. The writers don't know teens at all. I'm a 22 year old grad student (definitely not a teen), yet I felt my eyes rolling into the back of my head over how out of touch this script was. It was like how a nerdy 35 year old man would write a movie about what he thinks the cool kids were like in high school. If I hadn't drank an entire bottle of wine while watching it, it would've been unbearable.

I don't know why this movie is rated so low. It's a romantic comedy with teenagers as protagonists - what would you expect from it? It delivered what I expected and more. For this type of genre - it's a 7 for me.
