I keep getting asked so the movie at 0:54 is *Not Another Teen Movie.* It's a parody of high school movies (mostly *She's All That* and *American Pie* if I remember correctly). It's very funny, and I would recommend it. I think it's works better as a parody than *Scary Movie,* but that's just me. I also definitely agree with everyone saying people are going easy on Veronica as well, because she did a lot of the same icky things Sierra did. I would argue, however, that the reason people aren't up in arms about it is because she get's the ending I wish Sierra had. She changes, and fixes everything.

You also forget her crying and whining "The only reason I can't get a boyfriend is because I'm fat.

I thought Veronica was going to end up with the guy because she was a dynamic character that actually changed and made an improvement. She also lost her boyfriend and friends and was even screwed over by Sierra, so I thought she would be the one to get the guy

[@trinaq]

Yes, that's what I thought as well! Unlike Sierra, Veronica actually goes through character development, and is humanized as more than a "mean girl". Honestly, the thing I found the most unbelievable about this movie was how once Sierra writes her song, everything is instantly made right again! Veronica quickly forgives her for hacking into her Instagram account, despite having been majorly screwed over by her, and she even gets together with Jamey, and is hardly ever called out on her horrendous actions!

[@jaylap.8734]

The fact that Jamie was in love with Sierra in the end, is my issue. Not because I don’t think she’s “pretty” or even because of all the bad things she did. I just don’t like it because it doesn’t make logical sense whatsoever. There have been movies and books and even real life situations in which characters find themselves in love with someone they weren’t physically attracted to in the beginning. But in all those books and whatnot this takes time. You see past their looks and become attracted to their soul. Then eventually everything about them attracts you. Even their physical appearance. But in this movie Jamie fell in love with a face and a personality. If he’d started out knowing Sierra was the texter maybe it could have been different. But you expect me to believe that he’s just attracted to her all of a sudden? With no build? No Mam. And he’s also just all of a sudden not attracted to Veronica? Even though she was the faux face of his love interest throughout almost the entire movie? This relationship between Sierra and Jamie wouldn’t last because he never got the chance to fall in love with the real her. He literally saw her words through someone else’s mouth. I feel like I’m real life this relationship would only succeed if it was long distance. That way she could keep him the same way she got him: through text and phone calls. Ain’t no way he just stops associating his love with Veronica just because it was Sierra the whole time. Technically he fell in love with both of them. I guess I just don’t like the way this movie handled his love for her. A big part of love is physical and it would’ve been more believable if we could’ve seen Jamie grow to that point with Sierra. It ruined the entire thing for me. It was basically “oh is that a song I hear? Well I guess I just love you now”. I have other problems with the movie but this was my biggest one.

If Sierra was a guy who catfished a girl for the whole movie people would have no problems seeing that it was a crime, and that catfisher and catfished should NOT end up together. But the movie makes it look like that only bc Sierra is insecure and smart she can catfish without repercussions (she didn't even apologize to her friend) and get her happy ending.

Killer D its not rape. It is sexual assault though.

[@10Paxia10]

I think this movie is super problematic in ways that it almost makes catfishing something socially acceptable for people to do that do not feel attractive enough, because they feel like pretty people don't give them a chance otherwise. I mean if you are so against beauty standards why sink so low for someone attractive you only seen a picture of and texted in the first place? This movie would have been so much better if Jamie stopped talking to these girls after he found out and just embrace the sisterhood of Veronica and Sierra, cherish the healthy relationship Veronica and Sierra developed and made a scene of them apologising to each other. I also hate how the Jamie character talks bad about super model looking girls and needs to compare them to Sierra, his little sun-flower. You can create movies about empowering women without bashing on other women. I have never felt so creeped out about the stalking actions of the Sierra character. I myself am a girl and if a man would catfish and kiss me without my knowing I would involve the cops no matter how ''sweet' he is on text! I bet pedofiles can be sweet too, that does not justify their pedofile actions. I literally thought Sierra was pretty in the beginning of the movie until the whole movie was about categorising the actress as ugly. So yeah she is cute, comes from a loving household and has almost perfect grades. Stop bitching about not being a super-model. The majority of people are not models and there can be so many other things in life that can be valuable, like loving parents, having a funny and smart friend like Dan and the choice of going to your dream university. The movie should emphasize on how much more important that is in life than being skinny. Veronica did not have that and she was a child from a disfunctional family being portrayed as hot. Instead the movie gave the curvy girl with complex the dude she stalked and catfished to make her feel beautiful instead of letting her, another child to grow as a person... yay

[@katana7977]

[@funkydude8196]

Also the film tries to make out she's 'fat'. The actress isn't. She is actually a normal size if not a very very VERY tiny bit chubby. She's honestly a beautiful girl, and her excuse for a lot of things is 'I don't look good' when actually that's a lie.

[@nicoisabutt]

Veronica is my girl. Legit, I loved her storyline with her dysfunctional family, the fact she's forced into this conventional beauty. This movie had an amazing soundtrack, an amazing antagonist redemption arc, they just can't write a likeable protagonist. Also Dan deserved better 👌

[@fatumamamamamama]

I agree completely and they missed a really good opportunity to discuss "beauty" and why it even matters so much. I'm tired of girls and women in movies and shows who are so insecure about how not beautiful they are and then someone says they are beautiful but like??? What if they're not? SO WHAT if they're not? I understand the intention, beauty is subjective and there's no one way to be beautiful, but why does anyone HAVE to be beautiful? Why is it valued so much? Why do we have to make sure every girl and woman feels that they are when they can live just fine without it???? DISCUSS IT, HOLLYWOOD, YOU COWARDS.

[@Bren]

I liked this movie until the super unrealistic ending. Why does she have to end up with the guy at the end? Not only is it sooooo far-fetched (seriously, he would HATE her), but it’s also so cliché and makes me feel the writers think to be happy you gotta get the guy… Would’ve been better if the dude just stormed off at the game and never talked to her again, and instead the ending was about her mending her friendship with Veronica. Way better to be single when you go off to college anyway!

[@ThePlumfield]

Bren - she ended up with the character because the plot of this movie was taken from Cyrano de Bergerac a play from 1897 where an ugly guy uses a hot guy to speak to the beautiful love of his life until she finds out it’s the ugly dude but she overlooks that “fault” to accept him. That’s why Sierra’s character got the guy.

[@thisisavivistanaccount7866]

ThePlumfield but in Cyrano, he doesn’t end up with the girl..he dies alone. Roxanne(the girl) only ever saw him as a friend/cousin. She was disappointed that Cyrano lied

[@ThePlumfield]

Literally Rei - you’re right thank you for that correction it’s been about 25 years since I read the play but you’re correct he does die from an injury after visiting Roxanne in the convent for 15 years... so sad that on what if I recall their last meeting she realized it was him writing the letters all along... such a tragic story.

[@ilmusicx3]

Bren makes people think catfishing actually works. It’s wrong and it will always be wrong. Sierra didn’t deserve the guy and to be realistic, the two probably would’ve never ended up together otherwise.

[@thisismyusername3277]

Bren I 100% agree with you.

[@Sedw123]

Veronica should’ve been the main character in the film. She had a far more developed character and a more interesting perspective to me than Sierra. Being the person who is the ‘dream girl’. With the antagonist-turned-protagonist narrative latched onto that, it would’ve definitely improved.

[@krixkhaos]

Yes! I also kind of enjoyed the visual representation of her character arc through her hairstyles. She starts off with neatly styled and structured ponytails, and as the movie goes on and she softens to Sierra, she starts to wear her hair down more. I just thought that was an interesting way to show how she develops. It's probably not unique, I'm no film/media buff or anything, but it's just something I noticed.

[@elijahpickard3942]

Would have been more interesting if Veronica was the main character.

[@callies8907]

No, it wouldn't have. We have, like, a million examples of "hot girl is mean but only because her home life sucks" stories. You know how many stories about fat girls who get conventionally attractive romantic partners there are? Like, two.

[@Sedw123]

Callie S You could still have the ending where Sierra gets the guy in the end with my perspective. It’s only because Sierra’s character development was far less developed than Veronica’s that it would’ve made more sense to have her as the main character. If they had given Sierra’s actions consequence (rather than let her be cruel to Veronica when she accidentally kissed him because of her own insecurity) it could’ve made more sense for her to be the main character. Nothing wrong with having an unconventional character getting the guy, it’s more about what they do with the character themselves that matters.

I hate the whole ‘ugly/nerd/outcast’ in love with the ‘jock/school babe’ thing regardless of how it plays out. It’s been done to death. Why do the losers always get crushes on the unobtainable? Why can’t they crush on a regular student for once? For people with insecurities, they sure do feel entitled to have the best partner they possibly can, without putting in any of the work. That hot girl probably puts a lot of effort into her appearance. Make up, skin creams, hair care, clothes that flatter. No one is born knowing all this, it’s something you learn. The hot guy works out, dresses well, etc. Of course sometimes luck plays into it - some people have acne, some people have more or less money and so on. But I know for a fact that it’s the people that make the effort into their appearance that are more likely to have success. No matter how naturally cute you are, we all look like shit without effort (google ‘celebrities without make up’). These losers don’t think they should have to make the effort to get the hottie, and that’s what stinks. You’re not perfect just because you’re nice. Up your game if you want the best out of life.

[@mthuang1997]

Fuck you, appearance doesn't matter only rich people get the hot girls in real life, people should try to develop skills and make actual money than wasting time on appearance, which becomes totally irrelevant after your old. "Hot guys" and girls just Become shallow idiotic flower vases when their older because society works for people who have real intelligence and skills not just idiots who can only talk.

[@christopherhicks9944]

ErERrOr 1101 You probably shouldn’t complain about not being desirable in a superficial sense if there is no effort placed in outwards appearance. Heck, superficial appearance is even massively helpful outside of getting a suitable mate. When you walk into an important meeting or job interview, I am not going in wearing ripped jeans or sweat pants. I am wearing slacks and appropriate clothing for said occasion. If you work with people that you are in direct contact with, you are probably going to do better if you have clear skin as opposed to untreated acne. Sure some people are naturally at a disadvantage, but that is life. Ask nearly any person of color, myself included. When you are at a disadvantage, don’t sit there and complain about it without actively working to improve. Go out and refine yourself until you are the best person you can be. That is likely the main point of the original reply here. The “super hot cheer leader” isn’t just 100% attractive all the time. They likely put effort into appearance and it pays off. Intelligence also happens to be another thing that pays off. Contrary to how movies like to portray, a lot of people generally are pretty attracted to smart people that actually try to look nice. You can be good at multiple things at the same time after all.

[@colecoke6996]

Female hypergamy

[@rbartx1690]

I agree. Movies are a visual medium, so I think it's easier to simply characters into types of pretty/not pretty, even if most of the time real-life and stage appearance is fabricated. I think it's just supposed to be a wish-fulfillment fantasy, since all of us probably wish we could be with someone "out of our league" at least once, especially in high school when our self-evaluation is low. Almost every ugly/nerd/outcast character gets a hot partner, man or woman, in a high school movie -- and, I think that's just one of the annoying tropes of wish-fulfillment we could probably do without once and a while, especially in a film that's trying to be so...progressive? as this.

I was in the band, science club, student council, academic team, etc., very studious and quiet, often sat alone or with just one friend at lunch, had no sense of style, wore braces and glasses. Anyway, I knew who he was (cuz everyone did) and was totally intimidated by his gorgeous looks and popularity so I always avoided walking down the same hall he was in, and so he never knew I existed. But a couple years after graduation, my friend mentioned that Hot Guy was his cousin, and I had "glowed-up" by then and gained more confidence and asked my friend to bring his cuz to a bowling alley where I played every Monday with my Bible study group. He did, and Hot Guy defied my expectations that he would be a player or arrogant jerk and instead was super sweet, affectionate, kind, and loyal. Now we're happily married!

She didn't experience that much character development. All she did was write a damn song & is forgiven?? Seriously? Veronica, Jamey, and Dan were only parts that I liked. At first Veronica was annoying, but she grew out of it. Jamey deserved better than Sierra. Dan was carrying the whole dialogue and I appreciated when he stopped talking to Sierra when she did that BS to Veronica. Realistic. But the ending was so unrealistic! Veronica getting hated because she was dumped? Jamey forgave Sierra completely? Sierra didn't deserve a happy ending! She lied, manipulated, and other shit. Then she plays the victim.

i think the ideal ending would have been no one ends up with Jamey but both Veronica and Sierra apologize to Jamey for deceiving him. I would have cut the whole Sierra cyber bullying Veronica and made it so Jamey catches Veronica and Sierra hanging out and talking after the football game and he is confused because Veronica is the girl he went on the date with, but Sierra is the voice of the girl who he's been talking to. Jamey doesn't end up with either girls, but it's okay and Sierra and Veronica go to Homecoming together as friends. This movie could have put a heavier emphasize on their friendship and Sierra could come to the realization that she'll find her perfect guy one day, one that loves her for her and one who will never make her feel insecure about her physical appearance And Veronica comes to the realization that she'll find her perfect guy one day as well, one that sees beyond her looks. Also a few things in the movie could have been addressed better like how random was the whole "Sierra writing and singing a song"? If the directors were going to make Sierra's song the key to bringing everyone together, it should have been addressed better. We should have had more knowledge that she not only enjoys to sing but is really great at it and is something she wants to pursue. She should have been singing more and writing more or talking about music at the least, but it's just brought up one time and that's it. Also, whatever happened to Sierra finding her "is" it was literally in the trailer so it seemed important to the plotline but correct me if i'm wrong but she never found her "is". It was never addressed. She didn't do one thing that made her stand out for college yet she was accepted into Stanford even though her counselor recommended that Sierra do more. If it was going to be overlooked, that whole plotline should have been cut. And the director/writer made a mistake by having Veronica go to Jamey. She ended up the hero and recieved nothing in return when Sierra got everything for doing nothing. That single act made Veronica the hero and stirred the audience away from rooting for Sierra.

she didnt know his brother was deaf when that scene happened I think

[@dr.d000m]

I read how the girl who played Sierra said the point is for people to not like Sierra for her actions. But it was poorly delivered. Also their text conversations were next level cringe

[@haleylj9999]

(Update wow thank you guys for over 700 likes😮😍) I agree with you I wished they would have had Sierra apologize more like she barely apologized to anyone and still got a happy ending it was very unrealistic. I thought Veronica and Jamey would end up together tbh I was shocked when Sierra and Jamey ended up together.

[@priscillaruiz687]

Omg same, I thought maybe Sierra would end up alone... Like she kinda deserves that

[@wonderlust1308]

Me too and I was all for it the moment the video chat scene happened

[@priscillaruiz687]

@@wonderlust1308 yeah I probably should've come to that conclusion at that scene but I came to it after the kiss scene... Yikes

i thought we were all saying it lmao

[@lalisastaestykookies9773]

Is it just me or Veronica’s face reminds you of Maddie Ziegler mixed with a young Margot Robbie. Anyways, stan Veronica

[@demonhellkittycat]

reminded me of margot robbie !

[@krabbykat9918]

Lalisa's Taesty Kookies she's somewhere between Margot Robbie and Maddie Ziegler

[@Ember-b7f]

She reminded me of Amanda Seyfried

[@albertjacobosantana6985]

Honestly she kinda reminds me of taylor swift and Margot robbie

[@emilyadkins768]

I thought that was Maddie Ziegler at first lol

[@peblezQ]

Your happy ending options are so good that it baffles me these professional writers couldn't come up with it themselves :/

[@slugzilla4560]

this is a shit movie. i actually like veronica though

[@victoriavenegas6407]

Veronica carried this movie

[@jineapple]

Vernonica had the best character development hands down. To me, she was the real main character.

[@waderulez748]

and her best friend heath- i mean makenzie

[@issacalleyne8665]

nohay mano yeah, and she became a better person by the end of it; unlike Sierra she earned our forgiveness.

[@jmoa5758]

Yeah she actually has a character arc and grew as a person. Honestly just makes her even more beautiful and attractive. Meanwhile the ugly girl, just gets more ugly. Good job movie.

[@Anusha-fv8tz]

I heard she tricks him into kissing her and pretends to be deaf and mute. Like wtf that's sexual harassment, ableism and manipulation all in once? Do people even root for this character? And I have major respect for y'all that could make it till the end of the movie👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@moonmelodies8974]

how is pretending to be deaf 'ableism'? is it an american concept? sorry, but I'm from scotland and I found it kinda funny. very cringey, but quite funny.

[@Frooti.loopz23]

@@moonmelodies8974 It's Ableist to make fun of deaf people by pretending to be deaf because being deaf is a disability.

[@Frooti.loopz23]

@@moonmelodies8974 The anime "A silent voice" goes into more depth of why what she did is kinda fucked

[@infinitymixtapes9562]

Bruh, this movie was so unbearable because it’s like they wanted me to side with her after all that. A song don’t change shit

ok but, can the «popular» girls actually wear something trendy or cool?? like shisters always lookin like a more mature and simplified version of jojo siwa

True 😂

This just tells people that you could be horrible and still get the guy. NOPE.

[@Areens]

after I watched it, I felt somehow wrong, and I had bad feelings? but I couldnt understand why and because of what /, but now I completely understand myself and YES I FEEL THE SAME (ps/ i dont know why? but her face after she stand up for herself in front of veronica/// like betch u better know me and treet me better/ just her face was with total vilan thoughts)

[@ashleya2835]

Areen I felt the same way

[@nicholina6692]

What's all the slashes for

[@epow29]

Yes

[@simonsims2998]

Same hated Sierra and shipped Veronica en Jamie

[@Nightbunni]

Quick thing protagonist doesn’t necessarily mean that the character is good it’s just means that the character is the main character. A character can be a villain and still be a protagonist

[@victoriavenegas6407]

That's not the main problem. The problem is that Sierra was boring and untreatable(something most teens want). Veronica had better character development which made her more interesting.

[@XLightChanX]

if you have an antihero as the protagonist, the movie should treat it that way. instead, sierra is treated as the nice loser girl other people are supposed to root for or relate to. which just isn't the case. she is the bad guy, but the movie actually intends for her to be the good guy.

[@thelovestruckhatress2301]

no shit. The problem is that the movie dosen't treat Sierra as an anti-hero or even a villain, it makes her out to be this poor girl who we are supposed to root for, but she does all this bad things and the movie justifies them all with "oh but she's ugly and insecure so its ok for her to do that". The movie wants us to believe she's in the right and justified when she really isn't

[@Nightbunni]

Wow thanks everyone for telling me Sierra is a shitty person and character but I know that

[@izzaghassani7187]

The writers became lazy towards the end. The movie was okay to me at first but the ending is IRRITATING.

[@Jophie10]

Goose I totally agree because she starts out badass and has so many great qualities to begin with but once she fucks up she drops all the cool things and just makes her more unlikable

[@lornmoulinie7103]

It's bad at the beginning the teachers were unrealistic, the skinny pretty girl is stupid and mean. It plays on EVERY stereotype and then sierra herself turns out to be horrible.

[@hanna9286]

BHAHAH OMG ONE OF THE TWITTER COMMENTS SAID "sierra burgess is a loser because she fell for a guy with an android"
