Goofs

While Jamey (Noah Centineo) is playing games with his brother, he has the XBox controller on his lap. On that specific controller, the light would be on if the console itself was on. The light is off when it's on his lap. Meaning they cannot be playing video games while the XBox or his controller is off. See more »

Quotes

Jamey: For the record, I think roses are the bitchy super-models of flowers.

Sorry Sierra, I don't buy it!
7 September 2018 | by sidharth-banerjee25 – See all my reviews

The whole mistaken identity plotline is something as old and retold as my grandfather's story of his father being in World War 1. And yet I would listen to that than watch this movie again. The performances are good, the Sunflower song is hummable and nice but apart from that the story is just unbelievable. The conflict of Seirra being a total arse of a person is resolved as quickly as Usain Bolt runs the 100 metre sprint, though not even remotely as entertaining. Not comparing with the other movies available on Netflix, even standalone this film lacks pace and has hardly any moments that would stay with you. An utterly average affair.
