    Similar to a Wes Anderson movie

    If you like Wes Anderson films, you'll enjoy this funny movie. It has similarities to cinematography and comedy, but stands on it's own. The story is a bit predictable and simple, but that also makes it good because it doesn't distract you from the main story.

    Light-hearted college comedy

    It's a light-hearted college comedy with some romance elements. There is one really cringy love scene and I felt the balance between the silly humor and the romantic subplot was a bit off at times, but otherwise it's entertaining enough. Not bad, but only slightly above mediocre.
