Do you like Zendaya?

That's all you need to know. Zendaya is in this movie. If you like Zendaya, then you'll like the movie. If you don't like Zendaya, then... wait. Everyone likes Zendaya.

This has every essential ingredient of a teen movie: the new girl in school, the loner guy who seems aloof and doesn't care about high school hallway politics and popularity contests, the mean girl who for no reason at all takes a strong disliking to the new girl, the odd friend, the challenge, the moral lesson... It's all there. You could watch any teen movie from the 80s, and it's not much different except for the smart phone.

There is dancing in this movie, and it's pretty good. Z's character tries out for the school dance team, and the mean girl tries to prevent Z from making the team, but she hooks up with the JV dance team and competes against the elites.

At the end of the day, there's not a whole lot about this movie to make you want to give up an hour and a half of your life except Zendaya.
