The premise of Honor Society is an overachiever student taking down her competitors to get into Harvard. It's not groundbreaking, but for the most of part, it's fun. It's witty, well paced, well acted by the main actor, and strangely, there is little to none cringe lines and no excessively annoying characters, considering it's a teen drama film.
Lots of plot twists and turns, some of the humor are (semi)-dark and heavy, but they covered it in glitters so it's pretty to look at. Everything is great until the third act and this is the main issues with this film. It started as this 'dark-witty-comedy', and it ended up as a wholesome friendship-is-the-real-treasure-all-along type of film.
I guess it's not a problem for some people, but for me it's a bit out of balance, kinda lame, minor pc agenda that a bit too much, and somewhat defeat the purpose of the premise. Overall, it's a good watch.
7.5/10.
