We stan Alex Gaskarth, but otherwise this movie was not good. But did anyone really expect it to be?
I remember watching this back when I was in high school because, like probably 90% of its viewers, I heard it had All Time Low in it. And as soon as I even heard the concept, I thought "Oh wow, this is going to be horrible." Because I couldn't stand the quirky, fangirl-y, "emo smol bean" thing that plagued the fanbase of every band I loved, and I knew this movie was just gonna be the embodiment of that. And I was right.
But like I said, I still watched it for Alex, because I can't imagine anyone watched this for any other reason.
Anyway, I just wanted to write this review because some people think this was just an ATL promo, and that is not the truth (they were asked to be on this because the creator's daughter loved them irl). Though I'm no longer in high school, I still love this band and their music, and I just did not want this unfortunate narrative representing them. It would be so unfortunate to have people thinking that they had any actual involvement in this cringe movie outside of just showing up.
