Not a "Bianca Fan" (don't know her stuff) or "Bianca Friend" here so this is an example that yes, people do give this movie higher reviews without quasi-nepotism. I admit, I was struggling between three and four stars, but decided on four stars because the budget for this movie did not come easy. Crowd-funding and extensive promotion helped to fund it so it was that effort that raised it to a "4".

The good:

Most of the acting was good.

Kept my interest w/o dragging.

Costume design was super.

I loved the idea of the progression of the "storm" prediction in comparison with Bianca.

A good film for the hard-earned budget.



The bad:

Some of the writing that was trying to be funny came out "absurd" - but the bad sort of absurd.

IE: The "diarrhea" joke was overdone and as a "running gag" it did not work. It was very predictable for the VP to have been given the lax-laced chocolates at the end in the manner she received them. As an alternative: VP snags the box in the beginning as a power struggle. The box gets passed from character to character with each almost eating them but circumstances interrupt it. At the end of the cycle, the coach snags the box, writes Bianca's name on it, and intends to give it to her as a gift. The greedy VP snags it again as a power struggle and gets her "just desserts." It could have been an underlying running gag that stretched the length of the movie with a serves you right you greedy nasty B end.

I am not sure the bees worked either. However, a "Gentian violet" bomb in her purse at the end would have been great. -- It's real stuff that dies skin purple for a really long time. Sounds like a Drag queen name too. (A co-worker used to say it would be his drag name if he ever did drag). Something like that would have stuck with the "school/ learning theme" of the movie.
