I know, suspend your disbelief when it comes to movies. I can do that with a lot of movies. However, the thing that makes highschool slice of life movies good is them being relatable and believable. This movie, not the least bit believable. Maybe it's just the highschool that I went to, but the "Jesus freaks" were largely underground because militant atheism was the "cool thing," and all the gay kids were "out and proud," and even when there were rumors about kids having sex no one really cared (some laughs maybe if it was a weird paring, but otherwise uninteresting). And here's the thing, I was in highschool when this movie came out. 2010 was my junior year, my friend's honors English class watched this as part of their Scarlett Letter unit in 2011 when the DVD was out. I was the target audience, and it fails to speak to me.
