Did anybody involved with this film actually like the project? Every single aspect of the movie (acting, writing, directing, music, lighting, props, etc.) felt like it was just a bunch of employees going through the minimum effort in order to make a marketable product. Nothing felt genuine about it.
I usually like Netflix's teen drama originals - they're typically light and simple and treats the viewer with some level of respect, but Along for the Ride was too phoned in.
I believe it is based off of a competent novel, but in the film the story comes off as if someone got ahold of a 15 year old's Wattpad drama and found the most detached people to make a movie about it. Badly butchered. I hope the author never sees it!!
The mom actor was the best performance. Her baby wasn't crying in that one scene on the couch - the ADRing was an all-out tantrum while the kid looked perfectly content.
I felt embarrassed for the actors and writers in almost every scene.
