Goofs

At the end when Nina (Selena Gomez) faces Rick, after the feathers have floated down on all, the one caught in Nina's (her left side) hair, changes position and 'lodging' between each's reverse shot view (from that when shot from her behind view to Nat, and her face on view.)

User Reviews

Having good actors in the cast unfortunately doesn't save a really bad movie

The movie start like a normal rom/teen/comedy and after like 10-15 minutes become pure nonsense.

There are a lot of good actors in this movie for some reason, so much good potetial, lost in a terrible terrible project.

This movie is simply badly made, so badly that they even get the timeline events of the story wrong, probably during the editing.

It could have been an average comedy but they made too much errors. This should be put in a manual as an example how not to make a movie. Bad writing, bad directing, bad editing....... this movie is really bad.

Do yourself a favor and search elsewhere, there is nothing good about this one.
