Sierra Burgess is a loser, Jamie, Veronica, review
#Netflix - ZĂĄbava
i didnât know that was a real frog for half the video
update: itâs not a frog
Iâm - laughing

đđđ
@@SerenaSkybourne Iâve literally seen him in another video but I thought he was a frogâŠand then he slid down the thing Iâm like đ€Šââïž thatâs not a frog đ
Sierra's arc should've been realizing that not being conventionally attractive isn't an excuse to treat people like garbage. It would've been very interesting to see her realize that she's actually the villain in this situation and that the world doesn't conspire against her.
đŻđŻ
And also, the world doesnât owe her anything.
I would have loved if she learned how nasty she was and focused instead on her friendship to whatâs-her-name...
It makes absolutely ZERO sense for Veronica to be completely ignored by the entire school for the public dumping. In reality, people would be more likely to take Veronica's side, and call Spence an ass.
So true
@Shana Vaid Especially because Veronica is a popular, socialite cheerleader and the culprit is a described a weird loser!
@Skarbie Well True, to be fair my high school experience was a Carrie situation and thankfully I was only their for a year or so. So I donât have that much experience. đ
Tv Tropes??
@Skarbie Well yea but that's way different. People make fun of mental illness and people with them all the time. That's the real reason those psychos enjoyed her breakdown (I was like 5 when it happened soo no I didn't enjoy it or knew it happened until after) and this is coming from someone who has a disability. Also reality doesn't work like that look at Jeremiah starfish, the Paul brothers, hypochrissy tiegan, and any other cancelled influencers they get some backlash but overall they're still around if not thriving after cancellation so if you have the following you'll still be on top. And they described Veronica that way.
I will never get tired of ppl dragging this movie
obviously one of the biggest problems (as you touched on) was that this film was meant to be us sympathising and idolising a girl who isnt conventionally attractive. But what the film did was make her a nasty person and leave us (once again) rooting for the pretty skinny blonde girl.
Like what???!!
If your gonna make us idolize a non conventionally pretty character you canât make them a nasty person you have to make them nice or talented
alsooo to me she was conventionally attractive, like i don't buy that shes meant to be the "ugly" girl HAHAH
@@chrissy3875 Yes! She looks like an average pretty girl to me
The only thing that I remember from watching this movie is Sierra kissing her crush without his consent and him being under the impression that sheâs someone else yikes đŹ
Precisely, it's played off as romantic, but it's clearly sexual assault, since he believed that he was kissing Veronica, and not Sierra. The poor guy is just a victim in Sierra's manipulations.
Poor guy
"I'm not like other girls because I don't focus on the way I look" "I look too ugly so I'll catfish the boy I like"
She should apologize to the sunflowers. They didnât deserve to be involved in her vanity
đđ these comments are killing me
she isnât conventionally attractive, but she never gave me âloner ugly girlâ vibes either. Just because sheâs plus size and plays the flute doesnât give us a lot of room to feel sorry for her. It wouldâve been more interesting if everyone we saw being awful to her was just her perspective of how sheâs being treated instead of reality, with her overcoming her own internalized hatetred.
This is literally the difference between me when I was young and regretfully catfished my peers.
I grew up the weird loud 4ft wheelchair user with a craniofacial disorder.
I did it because I was harassed by everyone, I had no friends, literally no one at my school actually bothered to get to know me, and my mind set was âif I have a different appearance theyâd respect me.â And sadly⊠I was right. Same personality, same stories, just a different image and everyone wanted to be âmyâ friend.
However when I came clean because I couldnât lie anymore, rightfully so they hated me even more.
Feeling the need to catfish (not for financial scamming purposes) comes from a very very very dark place of self hatred within the soul. My 12-14 year old self was embarrassingly miserable and full of nothing but self hatred.
With Sierra youâre never shown WHY she has all the self hatred. She just has it, and then blames everyone around her but herself.
By age 14 I was able to realise that I was HELLa in The wrong and was able to right my wrongs With some people who realised they had judged me too hard in the beginning and gave me a chance. Sierras supposed to be like 16 or 17 and thereâs a big gap between the mind of a 14 year old and a 16 year old.
The whole time I knew I was in the wrong, not exactly how much but I knew what I was doing wasnât entirely right, where as you never see her even acknowledge she did something wrong and that honestly is the worst part for me.
This movie Made me feel better about the things I did in middle school and NOTHING should ever make someone feel better when they did what I did. No matter my reasons, still completely unjustified pretending to be someone I wasnât.
And thatâs my biggest problem with it.
And like, since when is playing the flute a bad thing? I play the flute myself and people are either neutral about it or are actually interested bc it's not as common as other instruments like piano. I remember watching this movie and wondering why the writers would think it's a "loser's" thing. It's a minor thing compared to the whole disgusting plot but it genuinely surprised me.
Sierra pretending sheâs deaf was so disrespectful. When I watched it, I felt mad and miserable. Which writer thought it would be a good idea? And which producer agreed? (same goes for the kiss scene)
This movie infuriated me.
"It sounds really annoying and obnoxious because they'll be having a normal conversation, and then he'll say this line from a book. And I would hate it if I was trying to have a conversation with someone, and they were trying to seem smart all the time by quoting pieces of literature."
I'm looking at you, Spencer Hastings. đ
i was thinking of spencer too LMAOOO
That was my first thought lol
đđ
Basically every Riverdale character
my first thought was the couple from a cinderella storyđ¶
I jusk cant understand why that guy ended up with her. She catfished him, she sexually attacked him and was even mean to Veronica who was trying to be her friend. This movie is awful and I dont even know what was the message - like it is okay to catfish when u ugly and want to date handsome guy? Seriously, Veronica should have ended up with that guy, not Sierra.
I really wish that Veronica was the main character and have it be about her learning to look beyond appearances and also about her home-lie. It's also a good representation for teens in neglectful households bc the reason why she is so obsessed with looks is bc of her mum pushing the idea of beauty over brains on her daughters.
Sierra's dad is PLL's Spencer quoting literature all the time đ€Šđœââïžđ
đđđ
@Skarbie Well you do realize we're talking about a fictional character, yes? My concern is that your father is talking about Hitler all the time. Big difference from quoting literature đ
@Skarbie Well your fatherâs favorite author is hitler????
The only time i would accept "other people may not find you attractive, but I do" is when I'm being all sad and mopey and insecure and basically alluding to "why do you even like me, im not attractive." That's literally the only scenario I can think of where I'd take that as a compliment. If someone just RANDOMLY told me that, it's for sure a backhanded compliment.
We finally get a unconventionally attractive girl and they had to make her a disgusting person. Can movie makers at least try to hide the vilification and hatred of "ugly" people.
Ikr, as someone who is overweight and finds it hard to lose weight due to hormonal problems and suffers with depression and feelings of being "ugly and not good enough" it's getting tiring seeing movies where the horrible people are constantly Hollywood's standards of unattractive.
@@marie.naturallysims2179 maybe one day weâll get the representation we deserve đ„”
I agree
These types of movies are villanizing fat/ugly people, then they beat us with a stick saying "you don't deserve something just because you feel bad" and then the conclusion is pretty much "don't make things harder for pretty people just because you're subpar and ugly". Like yes I know Sierra is a horrible person and the movie gives her a happy ending, but what a normal person watching takes from it IS "holy shit girl you can't do that" which then does lead to the stuff I mentioned above.
The movie could have really made great points with some self-awareness. I feel like the movie understood what Sierra did was wrong, but only on the surface. The movie could have really gone into detail on why catfishing is wrong and call out Jamie (and the audience in general) on looking beyond the surface when getting to know people. And also keep the SA out of the movie. Great vid as always!
It was going sooo well until Sierra got her way đ
My friend and I have a Netflix original drinking game. Shot of whiskey every time the main character displays toxic and or abusive qualities that are glossed over and will be forgiven. You can get a decent buzz
Y'all okay over there?
Don't do that with the Kissing Booth trilogy. You'll get cirrhosis of the liver.
This movie is enableing this kind of behaviour. "Boo hoo I am ugly so I have to catfish people and get away with it". It's gross.
This movie enraged me and still does. It truly baffles me that not one person writing the script had any amount of self awareness to see how problematic it all was. Itâs not just a quirky romcom about misunderstandings. They deliberately manipulate, assault and catfish a person. On top of that she hacks into someoneâs account and releases personal information about another person as an attempt to humiliate her. And in the end she does not at all suffer any consequences for her actions and even wins the guy and her friend. Itâs garbage and makes that type of behavior seem acceptable. Which is so concerning because itâs clearly marked towards teenagers.
Agreed. She should have fallen flat on her face with that behaviour, learned from it, changed and be rewarded with Veronicaâs friendship. Leave the guy as a device, not as the price and end the movie with the focus it was on most of the time - interaction/ dynamics between the two girls
She just looks like a normal person? Like why does Hollywood think that every person in an American high school is a stick thin supermodel?
I do love how how pretty much everyone ever is like.... NO. None of this is cute, this is an awful character, we're not having any of this. It's giving me life
Sierra is the nice guy of females. And if Sierra were a guy then this would have been a thriller. Sierra Burgess isn't a loser but a manipulative sociopath. Why do people think that only popular girls are mean. You can be both unpopular and mean. Just because you are not cool doesn't mean you can't be cruel. Like Janis Ian from Mean Girls.
Me too I wish the movie was about Veronica and not Sierra. Like in Tall girl, her pageant sister "killing" her competition would have be way more interesting than the actual movie.
Hated this movie. Never watched it but the trailer gave it away. Hated how they excused fat shaming/bullying someone by making the victim out to be obsessed with some guy. They could have showed Sierra Burgess dealing with weight and feeling unattractive then changing in the end and being comfortable in her own skin. They could have easily had Veronica and Sierra being bully/victim at first then being stuck together with a school project where they have to spend time together other wise they'll fail the year which gives them a chance to get to know each other. They could have easily been friends with each other after seeing the struggles the other goes through and could have helped each other become comfortable without any guy involved or they could have had Sierra talking to an unknown guy online that she thinks likes her for her but the guy turns out to be a creep and they could have had Veronica helping Sierra out as well. In other words they could have showed two different girls with insecurities and becoming friends from enemies and building each other up, helping each other out, they could have showed young girls that you don't need a guy to feel attractive, that beauty is within, there's not many movies like that. It would have been better and would have been relatable, instead of making a movie that justifies sexual harrassment, fat shaming and bullying.
When the movie first got released, it got so much press and people talking about it because of the actress who plays Sierra. Before âsierrra burgess is a loserâ, She was in Netflixâs stranger thing who her character died Abruptly in s1 and everyone was upset about it and wanted justice for her character. So when this movie came out, i feel like people wanted to give her recognition.
What I love about your videos is that I can actually listen to them without looking at them. What I mean is that at the end of the day my eyes are quite tired and itâs difficult for me to enjoy watching CZcams videos as I did before. I love to listen to your videos while resting my eyes, taking a bath, cooking, doing some house cleaning⊠So thank you for your work and keep it up !
aww thankyou and i know just what you mean! sometimes its nicer to listen to the audio because we can get sick of too much screen time
The funny thing is, Sierra complains about the fact that guy's don't like her, but she doesn't want to put out the effort to look presentable, because "she's not like other girls". Girl you have to give people something to like about you, and not saying to change who you are, but at least put out some effort to improve.
got distracted by how cute your little pocket dragon is đ„ș
đ„°
@@SerenaSkybourne Sierra should apologize for being a ginger đđđđđđđ
this movie is the epitome of people taking "personality over looks" too far
This is an awesome video and soooooo accurate.
However I do believe Veronica was touched by Sunflower song because she felt guilty for bullying Sierra about her appearance and that she was in the mind set of âif I never called her fat maybe she wouldnât feel this wayâ or something, idk.
This movie triggered me because Iâm a dwarf who uses a wheelchair and I have craniofacial deformities and have been bullied and harassed by my peers my whole life but when I was 13/14, I made fake facebooks to befriend my school bullies, for a while I didnât understand why they couldnât just see past my appearance and honestly itâs one of my biggest regrets that I did shit like that but because I did I was able to see Sierra for what she truly was. Horrible. Disgusting and literally someone who sexually assaulted someone (Iâll be honest tho it never went further than a phone call with my situation it was never that bad but still inexcusable) but like the difference between myself and Sierra is that I KNEW the people I was talking too. The reason I did it was because everyone hated me and harassed me so badly and I just wanted FRIENDSHIP because I literally had no friends and I wanted and honestly needed someone to be nice to me and as much as I regret doing it in some aspects, it made me realise that my bullies despite all they did to me, they we dimensional, they could be kind, funny and caring. All the issues I discussed were my own and they always responded well, but if it was me because I was me they would of laughed so also I guess it makes me realise they were worse than I thought.,
Sierras motives were completely to manipulate Jamie, she was willing to go to the most fucked up extremes to keep her secret and still NEVER APOLOGISED.
SHE PRETENDS TO BE DEAF AND MUTE TO AVOID HIMâŠâŠâŠ.
I eventually when someone began to confide in me, I couldnât keep the facade up anymore because I thought they deserved to know, before they told me things they didnât want ME to know. I couldnât let them spill all their secrets.
I learned so much from my mistakes because I had repercussions because it made people hate me more rightfully so, where as Sierra GETS THE FRIEND, AND THE BOYâŠ.. so unrealistic.
I know this is an old comment but I'd still like to say something. Your motives were 1000% more understandable than Sierra's. I'm not saying it was right, and I think it's very mature of you to have learned from it, but I hope you're not too hard on yourself. Unlike Sierra, you had been pushed to some extremes and just wanted some humanity... something basic everyone needs. If the film was a out you, I think people wouldn't have hated watching you, at least I wouldn't. Sierra has only entitlement and no empathy, no self-awareness, taking no responsibility for her actions. I respect that you outed yourself to this person, even after all the cruelty they showed you. It was very brave, and shows you have integrity even when you stood to lose so much, when you had so little. You're a much a much bigger person than them, and Sierra. â€
It's so sick how people can laugh at someone and be so mean. I've been bullied as well, by boys, though obviously not for as long as you were. It was enough to get a serious taste of how it can really fuck with your sense of self. I hope you're doing better today and that you come across some people who aren't shitty kids like the ones who were cruel to you. Adults can be shitty too, but generally more of them know better than kids do. Stay true to yourself, you've clearly got a good head on your shoulders, and a good heart as well. đ
I guess one way a sequel for this movie could be good would be if they showed all of Sierra's relationships failing because she's still a terrible person and people can't really trust her anymore after what she did. They could show how she hurt everyone (including her own parents) and make her try to become a better person to actually deserve their trust. The message could be that her struggles are because of her personality and actions instead of her appearance. Because, yes, bullying and not being conventionally attractive will make your life harder, but it doesn't give you the right to be a jerk. I highly doubt they'd do something like that considering what they came up with in the first place, so thank god this disastrous story is complete.
15:51 I fully agree with this tho lol Not many people talked about this probably because by then they completely, rightfully, hated Sierra and sided with Jamie but it was a pretty shitty line, it feels like a consolation prize: "nobody likes you, but I (kinda) do".
It especially feels shitty because no, she isn't his type?? It's not like he liked her appearance and then purchased her like he did with Veronica, he liked Veronica's type. You can further see this when he meets the "real" Sierra (how real can she be if she's pretending to be deaf but ok) and he doesn't show any romantic, heck, not even friendly feelings for her.
I would never give Sierra a chance (not because of how she looks) but because I'm seriously concerned I might end up in a bodybag. Wtf.
âŒïžâŒïžâŒïž
đđ
Literally. She victimises herself; expect emotional abuse and gaslighting,..
This movie like âRoxanneâ from 1987 is based on a play called âCyrano de Bergeracâ.
I wish the writers had written Sierra as intelligent and quoting literature like Cyrano. Instead of passing actual positive traits richer dad. If Sierra ended up romantically with Veronica. Veronica could have learned appearance isnât everything. Sierra could have learned that intelligence isnât everything. Itâs more important to be honest and is necessary for true intimacy. It would have been an unexpected modern twist, and a more enjoyable movie.

Whatâs wrong with Netflix and their awful protagonists with selfish attitude without acknowledging their mistakes instead playing as the victims and canât be the wrong one but everyone else is the problem?!
Daphne from Bridgerton

Sabrina from the chilling adventure of Sabrina

@@stefanmakara373 ikr!!! đđThe she is so selfish never cared about her roommatesâ problems even when they talked her about â like Terra didâ and made the conversation about her, she almost attacked them and even though they decided to help her despite that â which doesnât make any logical senseâ she didnât even bother to apologize or admit she was wrong to them wowđ
This movie was really good until the end because I thought it was gonna be about her realizing "she is a loser" with her terrible actions and learns from he rmistakes. But nope. The final act of the film ruined it for me.
Kamikaze lizard is a mood (aaand I hated the movie too! Veronica best character).
I just love listening to you speak about anything. I'd love to see your opinions on the Kissing Booth
I know the third movie is coming out soon! đ
@@SerenaSkybourne Iâm looking forward to it. I enjoyed the movies
This movie doesnât work as a romcom but it couldâve worked as a story about female friendship and not judging a book by itâs cover. Sierra is this NLOG and judges Veronica because sheâs the pretty popular girl (and also cause sheâs mean to her but letâs cut that out for this hypothetical rewrite) but then the rest of the movie happens, Sierra starts scamming this guy and in the process gets to know Veronica and realizes that theyâre not that different and she actually like Veronica. So that should be the emotional core of the movie, these two girls who form an unusual friendship, have a falling out because Sierra is the worst but then sheâll make up for it in the end and apologizes and then thatâs the movie. She shouldnât get the guy cause she absolutely doesnât deserve him, she catfishes, scams and violates his consent, so he should just be out of the movie after the big reveal or maybe she can also apologize to him at the end but still not get the guy, in any case he should not be the one to have to do a romantic gesture at the end.
On a side note I wonder how actors feel when theyâre cast in a role based almost entirely around how unattractive they are lol
That is a good question since that must be a really complicated position to be in
This is basically what everyone thought about it, including me. I couldn't root for Sierra. It's great to hear your thoughts on this movie.
I think this is a difficult story to adapt largely because of values dissonance and tech differences. Cyrano de Bergerac didn't have a smartphone, so he could get away with a disguise here and there. There are also a lot of things that people (meaning men) got away with in the past that people now (women, but thankfully also men since we are making some progress) aren't okay with. Like, they obviously considered how to put it in a different time/place context, and to some degree they understood that they'd have to make the main character female because of the social context. But they didn't think of the _whole_ social context long enough to realize that it's no better for a woman to sexually assault a man than vice versa, and a person of any gender sitting around whining and complaining is not fun to listen to.
Honestly this movie could have been really good if they just gave it the right ending, and that's the main character not getting what they want and actually facing consequences for their actions. Really goes to show that an ending and it's message can make or break a movie.
I cant believe how stupid this movie really is đ these videos make me realize stuff i didnât notice as much before. Ofc i knew this movie was trash but you make so many good points that make me realize this even more
Great analysis like always. :) What I really like about your videos is that it's understandable and everything makes sense even when I haven't watched the thing you're talking about. You're really good at presenting your train-of-thought! :)
Thankyou sm
This was a great video and honestly a really great analysis of the film. But omg the drama of your lizard was so entertaining. perfectly summed up the feeling of watching the film. Confusion and need to escape!
You could do a complete examination video of the whole To All The Boys Trilogy...I think that it would be very suitable with your channel's aesthetic. Also great work, keep it up!
thanks George! xx
Would love to watch your thoughts on the Hulu series Dollface, for some reason it feels so cringey to me. The girlboss undertones, the lack of gender representation, the overt classism of it, its kind of a lot yet has no real substance imo. Love your videos as always
This movie just made me so mad. It was creepy not romantic.
it was so gross
veronica was the real star of the movie
I'm so glad other people felt the same about this movie!
Sierra was honestly one of the worse protagonists I disliked her so much. I was actually rooting for her not to get the guy I felt like he kind of deserved better.
Y'all should really watch young royals it's literally an amazing show with only 6 episodes. I think it came out a week ago.
SERENA PLEASE TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW I LOVE IT
Never heard of it but thankyou sm!
I agree this show is absolutely amazing! It's one of the best queer romances I've ever seen. It would be awesome if u could review it
I loooove your videos and have my alerts on for new uploads haha.
I wanted Sierraâs friend to actually go to Veronicaâs side way earlier and apologize that he was a little complicit in this scheme as well and should not have been treated badly by Veronica. I think they could have been nice friends.
If this were a romantic horror film, it makes sense to have both sierra and veronica be the protagonists and showing how their paths get intertwined. There could be the same character development with veronica and sierra will be portrayed as the villain.
I felt SO bitter while watching Sierra get with Jamie.
I understand what they tried to do BUT sadly Veronica stole the show. It would've been so much better if Veronica got over her toxic ex and stayed with Jamie, while Sierra worked on her inner demons and learned to appreciate what she has.
I hate when writers decide from the jump who is going to end up with who, and then no matter what and how horrible the other character is they stay together.
Ahhh this is my new favorite channel, I love all your videos đ
Me too!
Thanks Liana đ
Hi Serena!! Nice to see you talking about something I actually watched and also hated :P
A lot of love from Latinoamérica girl
Love you!
Okay I was one of the people who watches all your videos, but didnât subscribe! Tbh I completely forgot I wasnât since youâre always in my recommended!
Haha no worries hun â„ïž
I love your videos so much! You had some really great points and I wanted to let you know how great youâre doing. Ily đ€
Ily!!
Two thoughts: 1. congratulations on making it through such garbage đ I can never be grateful enough for you making this videos you just saved me the time watching it. And 2. since it's Netflix we might be punished with a sequel đ„Ž
I always thought that the bf dumped veronica after they had sex (at the party one of his "friends", or a guy who knows him basically says she'll put out) and Sierra exposed Veronica being taken advantage of by an older guy, which...? Super fucked up?
Maybe I was half asleep tho idk
I remember I had to stop watching this movie half way through bc it was so bad, I was so annoyed with Sierra the entire time and hated the way it ended. I really like the video!
Also literally the only one considering against Jamie IS SIERRA
wait did you watch it halfway or finish it LOL
I love the hair, get that volume hun
Yassss
Any movie recommendations for me? â„ïž
You have to watch the Netflix movie work it
Thoroughbreds on Netflix!!! I NEED your review of that movie!!
Dumplin and the chair
When you said that you have noticed that we watch your videos but don't subscribe, I realized that I've watched all your videos about pll yet haven't subscribed so... here i am, now a loyal subscriber :')
yassss queen!!
The worst about this is that Allie X' Sunflower song was used for the movie cause it's such a bop
Almost all of the CZcamsrs I watch say their viewers aren't subscribed. I'm guessing that comes from subscribed viewers sending certain videos to friends. Those friends all watch and don't subscribe because they only wanted to see the specific video.
Can you talk about the film F the Prom? I need another person's perspective on it and which relationship should've happened
I just liked Veronica, especially with then character development. Why can't a girl be smart and pretty? Why is she only smart or beautiful? Not accurate at all.
Loved the video! And your hair so so gorgeous btw. Like a Disney princess đđ
Thankyou hunny đ„°
Sierra is the nice guy of females. And if Sierra were a guy then this would have been a thriller. Sierra Burgess isn't a loser but a manipulative sociopath.
aww that little lizard jumpđ„șđ„ș
They really disrespected Barb lol.
It sounds like this movie is a badly done adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac
Hey Serena, did you watch Gilmore Girls? I would love for you to do some videos on that show. Itâs also so funny that itâs the same set as PLL. I know itâs a little older but I recommend if you havenât watched it!
never seen it but always wanted to!
How do you literally NEVER MISS
I don't like these kind of of movies . Don't bother to watch.. But I adore you work that's why i watch your videos . Great honesty about everything :) Thanks Serena
Ty! I do my best
If you watch any crime sort of show you should review Bones. I have been watching ur videos for the last few weeks and I have had a couple thoughts about the characters
It would have been better for Sierra to be set up as an anti-heroine who has to repent at the very end. She could have redeemed herself just by being self-aware. But the movie isn't self-aware. It's like the script forgets which character was which.
If Sierra had r@ped him while he was asleep, or attempted to force him to elope with her, could she still have redeemed herself?
I don't think, or at least I didn't get the impression, that Veronica was giving serrias number just to mess with her, I think it was more of âoh I don't like this guy or want to give him my numberâ and I think she knew sierra liked him and thought she wouldn't catfish him and shed get rejected right away it would've embarrassed her. Like he wouldn't have given her two thoughts if she didn't catfish him. And that's not a dig on him catfishing is so fâd up.
Oh god I hate this movie so much xD It is difficult to be the ugly girl in school. It is horrible. You feel so helpless. No matter how good a grades you get, and how good you are at art, or how you speak 3 languages, how you have extensive knowledge for music and video games and film, how you are a loyal caring friend yet all the guys just want the girl with the big ass and treat you like youâre âone of the guysâ. Yes itâs horrible. But the reason we feel bad for girls like this is because they are amazing people who are funny and witty and smart and no one seems to care about that but Sierra was not this character. This movie almost excuses everyone who doesnât want to go for the ugly girl because well⊠sheâs bat shit crazy. It was horrible and made a mockery of the message it was initially intending to make. Man it was so bad people are still hating on it 3 years later hahahahaha
âRoxanneâ with Steve Martin is a much better modern retelling of âCyrano de Bergeracâ and is sweet rather than creepy like this
I think the whole reason this fails as a Cyrano adaptation is due to Sierra trying to win Jamie for herself. In the original story, Cyrano might have been in love with Roxanne, but he put those feelings aside to help her and Christian (who both had feelings for each other) get together. He was a selfless protagonist and Roxanne and Christian were also good people who didnât take Cyrano or feelings for granted once they realized them.
Here, as the video points out, Sierra is just all about herself. :\
@@Rose-yt5hi I agree, when you take out the fact that it originally was a romantic comedy of errors of sorts and turn it into a selfish purposeful deception you lose the charm and it just gets sketchy
@@zane3947 Definitely. The sad thing is that they could have made this such a good story AND maintained the whole âyou donât have to be conventionally attractive to be lovedâ message if they had just followed the original roadmap a bit more faithfully.
I agree I donât think Sierra should of got the guy in the end. It basically undermined the entire point of the movie and the message they were sending. It was meant to be about being yourself, being honest and unapologetic about who you are, donât lie and deceive people. Beauty is skin deep and inner beauty is more important.
The end is meant to be Sierra learning that lesson and having consequences. But instead she gets the guy anyway!? Itâs ridiculous!
All I got from the movie was, catfish everyone, lie, do hurtful things to others because your insecure about yourself, but donât worry, you still get to have a happy ending even though your a piece of s***. Like really movie!?
Itâs such a trash movie I actually hate it.
I'm half sure this a bad remake/adaptation of an old film with Uma Thurman and Janeane Garofalo...'The truth about cats and dogs': it wasn't that bad.
Loved everything about this vid lol. Nothing but facts.
Thanks youâre awesome â„ïž
her hair is so pretty here!!!!
đ„°đ„°
Sooo i watched this despite all these warnings. And, its pretty sus. Sierra please take a seat. Can you explain these chat logs?
Instead of a sunflower he should of recommended her therapy. I have autism and go to therapy like i think his younger brother had (nonverbal) autism so hes prob atleast familiar with therapy. Isnt her dad a big author. He could make it seem like therapy is not a big deal (because it isnt whats wrong with getting help? Nothing) Then she could work on herself and then MAYBE some OTHER boy can give her a sunflower. Because she worked hard and genuinely became a better person hed like to date.
Off topic, but your hair looks gorgeous here :)
thanks boo :)
And Sierra is not even that ugly -_-
Not me being jealous of Serena's wardrobe
yes bestie, she is! i love you and your vids
Ily!
I never watched this and Iâm glad I didnât tbh. It seems like a good idea but of course Netflix has to destroy those and make it cringy and try so hard to make it funny to where itâs bad. I donât understand it, like same with the kissing booth. The first movie was okay and could have gone somewhere but the other movies- Jesus lmao
Sierra seems like such a creep
I love your channel
good video
Thankyou đ€©
Totally agree đđđđđŻđ
Hi Serena.
What animal is this? In your video
I have to disagree, I don't think we need more movies playing devil's advocate for the bully, I'm personally done with it, tbh.
I am also increidlby frustrated that in a movie where they could have showcased a lead with a different body type and made her into a fully fleshed out character, everyone ended up liking more the thin, conventionally pretty girl, because she is "misunderstood" (I mean, both are conventionally pretty, anyways).
Edit: Also, I don't know if I loved that they sent the message that the only way a fat girl could get with a guy (whether he is attractive or not, Idk) it's through catfishing.
My issue is that the movies with "bully has problems too" are making bully's problems a victim's problem. It pretty much says "hey kid, Ik you're being abused by this kid, but you should pity them because they too are getting abused. They aren't really bad, you are just their punching bag because they have frustrations!".
Bully's problems are the TEACHER'S problem. If a kid is lashing out and abusing others, their parents need to be called in and their home life looked into. Kid should be given therapy. But what happens in real life is that the victim is just told to deal with it. And then movies come along and give a charade of excuses, all directed at the victim.
@@stefanmakara373 This ^^^ It's guilt tripping the victim to not complain and giving the teachers and parents an opportunity to wash their hands off their responsability.
It's so frustrating, I still remember my teachers doing that and it's painful.
Anyways, sorry for the rant, but thank you, your worded it perfectly.
Exactly my thoughts. How can this movie be so bad?
