Firstly, the dialect of the film is definitely unbecoming from any Disney original movie I've seen. Which is probably why this movie was a breath of fresh air.
I gotta say I was very surprised that as set in her ways as Mandy was, she throw away her future for some ween. Lol.
Mandy is very hard to like (surprise surprise for a main protagonist trying to achieve their goal in a teen rom-com) when she slashes and burns everything around her to achieve her goal. (Justice for Ben.)
Ben's character is like some derivation of Duckie from Pretty in Pink. Not a compliment since John cryer was annoying in that film.
Margaret and Wendi were hilarious in this film. The Goldbergs definitely prepared her for the archetype of overbearing mother wanting to control some aspect of her kids' life. Margaret's natural comedic ability proves she could dish it for premature audiences too, and not just for adults.
