A Netflix RomCom That's Set In Chicago Comes Out Today And It's Just About The Most Unrealistic Thing Ever

I watch a show every Sunday that has dragons in it and it’s still somehow more realistic than this. I mean I don’t know the backstory of these kids upbringings, and where they’re going to say that they’re from, but I’m not willing to accept any town pretty much other than Winnetka or Barrington just based off of that trailer. Truth be told though, I don’t even know if that fits the description because there’s no way they’re taking the El or a good old fashioned yellow cab.

Who the hell even had a High School experience that was romantic like this shit? It doesn’t happen this way, right? Show me a bunch of kids slumming it up in someones basement at 1pm drinking Mickey’s. Show me the party in some kids garage that had about 100 people there because when there’s a spot to drink you swarm it like flies to a light post. Show me the kids ripping some cigs watching a 16 inch game at the park.

Don’t show me kids being all serious and shit in their last Summer with High School friends.

Anyway, now that I got the hater all out of my system about its depictions of Chicago life I will try to give it an honest shot. Maybe it will be good? I try not to be too harsh of a critic, but it’s just that teen movies used to be so damn good. The Breakfast Club, 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That, and I can keep going and going. Even if they would sometimes miss their mark they were all light-hearted and fun. I just have no idea when these movies started getting so serious like the tone of this trailer.

Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll be filled with great one liners and bits though? I’ll watch this weekend and report back next week.

P.S. – How the hell are they gonna get someone who looks so similar to the kid from Rookie of the Year?
