    Better than what I had initially expected.
    An interesting take on romantic relations between two girls who share artistic talent. The whole endeavor to find out the anonymous tagger however seemed a tad bit predictable, and clichéd, but it gave a promising attempt to create something distinguished and unique.

    Along with the monotony of the plot, is the love triangle that is exceptionally common in teenage romance films. If this movie would have capitalized more on developing the main protagonists (Paige and Aj) in accordance with their passion for art, then would I have felt more of a connection between the two. There was just a lot of silly and somewhat forced humor bits that take away from the passion that is begging to be conveyed.

    Ultimately, I am a fan of both Rowan Blanchard, and Auli'i Cravalho, I just wished they would have focused on them more. The other characters were pretty forgettable and annoying.

    Loved it!
    Funny, charming, cute...this movie hit all the bases. Great acting and storyline. It's a shame this wasn't promoted more because it's easily one of my faves to watch on Hulu. It just makes you feel good inside after watching. Not to mention how cute Paige and A. J are together. Would love a series.
