#2. You Get Me // Grape Movie Marathon.


Tyler's crazy in love with his perfect girlfriend Ali but when a big fight makes him and Ali break up, he lands in the arms of Holly who shows him a night he's gonna remember. The next morning he finds that not only is Ali taking him back, but Holly is a new student at their school and is dead set on her new man.

I found this movie while browsing through Netflix and it sat in my list for a while before I finally got around to watching it - how I wish I hadn't. 

I feel like this is a plot we've all seen before, a one night stand turns deadly when the girl gets obsessed and the boy, who already has a girlfriend, isn't interested. Now as we've seen this plot before, if someone else is going to have their go at it then they need to at least bring something new to it but this movie didn't get that memo. Instead, it just copied and pasted the plot then slapped a new name onto it. Did they think we wouldn't notice?

You've got all the typical cliches and nothing new. Nothing about this movie surprises you, you most likely know what is about to happen and maybe you'll even question some of the actors choices. Such as, why don't you call the police when you see your crazy lover has your girlfriend? Why not even get them involved when you find out something like this has happened before?

Even the soundtrack tried to warn you.

Unfortunately, the acting didn't bring anything that could salvage this movie either. Bella Thorne, most likely being the most known name within this movie, fit her role of crazy lover well but not enough to stand out. Everyone else, even the main characters, failed to make me feel anything other than boredom. 

Overall, I was left feeling disappointed with something I felt would at least be an average teen flick to waste an hour or two watching.

I rate it 2 out of 5 grapes.
