Rating: 🏆 most excellent
Three soon to be sixth graders skip school to learn how to kiss before attending their first kissing party. But things take a turn when they lose their drone while spying on their neighbors and they accidentally come into the possession of drugs.
I was so impressed by this movie. They perfectly encapsulated all of awkwardness, fear, and excitement that comes with growing up. This movie has a lot of adult humor, so if that’s not your thing I would pass. But it also had some incredible things that I wasn’t expecting. This film showed a new generation of boys and girls that are learning the necessity of consent, and I’m living for it!! They also had diverse representation of ethnicities and sexual orientation. More importantly than making me LOL about every 2 minutes, this movie gave me hope for a better, more inclusive world.
