I hadn't really heard much about this movie so I didn't know what to expect.
Since it was in Disney Plus I wasn't sure if it was going to be a Disney channel original or like a cinema release type of movie.
I think it falls in the middle. It has the squeaky cleanness of a DCOM but the production is more a cinematic release.
It was perfectly fine and isn't as bad as say a Netflix teen movie. It was a bit cheesey at parts but it had a lot more heart. And I think that is this movies strongest asset, that it has heart in buckets full.
I love a outcast "weirdo" story and I appreciate that for people who feel the same way it can help them feel validated but I found this characterisation a little too caricature at Times not to say the lead was bad I thought she was really good. It was more the screenplay that made the character do like cartoony actions that I just don't think ring true.
I also think the movie should have focused more on Stargirl and not on the male lead. This should have been her movie but we only follow her through the eyes of him. He could still be in the movie but it should have been focused on her and her life and have her be our main character.
It's perfectly fine so if you have Disney plus you could watch it but i wouldn't buy it solely to watch this.
