god it's probably just me but i really thought that sierra and veronica were gonna completely forget about jamey and get together by the end of the movie

Okay, first I was liking Sierra, yes she was a dork but she was strong. She respondend to her bullies and that part of her was great.
Then the catfishing thing.... there is no excuse for that. And then she even betrays her friends. She showed that she is just a mean, self-absorbed girl who thinks is a victim all the time.
So I hated Sierra's character, simply a stupid girl who got what she wanted but definitely didn't deserved it.
This movie was predictable and made no sense. The boy should never accept it and in real life he wouldn't. Who would want a lier, manipulative bitch?? In the end we realize that the "Mean Girl" of the movie, Veronica, is way better person and more honest that the protagonist.
This movie failed miserably in being a romantic comedy... Just horrible.

I loved it !! This is such an adorable movie, and yes, my favorite part is hands down the relationship between Sierra and Veronica, which I noticed right away in the trailer. Yay for subverting the popular girl-mean girl trope and for having such a beautiful, positive female friendship take the stage!

And I know people are saying they wish Sierra hadn't gotten the guy at the end, but nah man, I love me some cutesy romance.

There are so many problematic things in this movie! How is any of this okay. From catfishing, to non-consensual kissing, to the transphobic/homophobic jokes, to faking a disability, to cyberbulling... the list just goes on. We should not romanticize any of these things. None of this is empowering for women or for people who are overweight.

Adorable and predictable adaptation of "Cyrano de Bergerac". The relationship between Sierra and Veronica is the real love story of the movie.

Yup Sierra Burgess really is a loser...and a manipulative selfish bitch. Don’t ever catfish people okay, it’s bad and terrible. No matter how you put it or turn it into a romantic comedy film like this it’s just wrong and messy and it hurts people’s feelings. Don’t do it.

U i would usually throw some decent joke here, but fucking Marla from Boston Public? Even if the rest of the movie sucks, I rate it
"teach me how to act" out of ten

Kinda hard to give cat-fishing a positive spin at the end, why this movie failed miserably. I needed a happy ending for Jamey without Sierra to be honest. Dan was a better friend than she deserved too. I liked Veronica’s character development though. But Sierra, just nope.

I actually really enjoyed this netflix original movie! It was the right combination of comedy and romance!

It's a very cute movie featuring a great main character who is a horrible person, a secondary character who was supposed to be a horrible person but goes through a believable positive development, and their lovely friendship. The soundtrack is great too, as expected from a piece with such a John Hughes influence.
I knew Shannon Purser from Stranger Things, and I was kind of expecting Sierra and Barb to be similar, since they are from the same outcast mold, but they could not be more different. I am impressed with Purser for being able to play such different personalities into the same stereotype. Also, Froseth is so pretty I do not think she is human... maybe she is from an advanced alien race, taking a vacation on Earth?
But going back to "Sierra is a bad person but a great character", oh, wow. I do not think I have ever disliked a rom-com heroine this much, EVER. Specially in a teen movie! Still, it was cute and entertaining, and Noah deserves a main role, soon. Here, it felt like he was there for decoration, which is sad, because he has a lot of charisma on-screen.

Yes, it's a cute movie, and yes, it is a bit of a wish-fulfilment thing. But the catfishing thing does leave a nasty aftertaste, despite the Cyrano/Roxanne pretensions. Still, if you don't take it too seriously, you might enjoy it.

If I could give it zero stars I would. It’s worse than anything else.
