Ratings and reviews

A good story to be watched by the whole family. Has lots of lessons for both parents and kids. Ben Platt did a wonderful job with his performance in this movie, acting all scared and naive... I really admired that. The good selection of music and voice performances made this a worthy watch, highly recommend this.

I love this movie. The best advice I can give you is go to see it. Please ignore the reviews and ignore what people say about it cuz that's their own opinions. Movies are being ruined by entitled fan base and really bad reviewers who somehow made it their life's mission to not only destroyed a film but make sure that nobody else go see it ignore them. You have a right to like and dislike a movie. But everybody else has the same thing so please don't feed those people who wants to ruin the show.

This movie isn't perfect and I know a lot of people have complaints about it. However, it's really good, and heartfelt, and sensitive, and real, and as a high-school age boy who struggles a lot with mental health, it means a lot to me personally. I recommend watching it.
