Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's TMDB score (6.2) is artificially inflated by teen boys who saw themselves in it. The actual critical reception was brutal, with most noting it mistakes 'loud' for 'funny.'
Loren Gray's casting as Katrina was pure TikTok stunt casting — she has 55 million followers and approximately 12 lines. The algorithm ate better than the script.
