It was definitely refreshing and amazing to have watched this sort of a movie nowadays when we get scarcity of thrilling and unexpected comedies. The plot was outstanding because it was flexible open to interpretation and easy to manipulate like what the director and writer just did. The protagonist's performance was so smart and clever die to his ability to portray such complex character that initially seemed innocent and unsuspecting to someone more sinister and clever. The scenes were also intelligently edited because there were no plotholes and the twist was satisfying in the end. The whole anagram thing was a bit corny though.

I think that this movie is great, it has become one of my favorites. The cast is absolutely amazing, they play off each other so well. Joe Keery as 'Baron' has got to be one of my favorite performances from him. I also loved seeing Camila Morrone as 'Marmalade' after seeing her in Daisy Jones & the Six, she's got such range. In the movie, all of the emotional beats hit and (almost) all of the comedy was great. After watching the trailers, I thought this was gonna be more of a 'manic pixie dream girl' situation, but I was so wrong. The movie really makes you interested in learning more about Marmalade and her past. If you think the movie sounds interesting, then I'd definitely recommend you watch it. <3.

This one was definitely a fun watch from start to finish. I really don't get surprised by movies very often, however I genuinely thrown off the trail of the true tale of the film, and every time I thought I had it figured out I'd be proven wrong. It draws a lot of inspiration from a few very famous films, and gives you a few blatant tropes that at first make you roll your eyes a bit, but it all feels so deliberately just enough to make you confident in how wrong you are about the plot. I am looking forward to watching this one again, for sure. All of the acting is fabulous, better than it might seem at first glance. It's a deceptively fabulous film. Don't judge this one on the surface alone, it's a great ride.

I thought I knew Panic Pixie Dream Girl before this movie but all other Panic Pixie Drean Girl tropes pale in comparison to this movie. It was so painful to watch. Good cast but terrible writing. The Marmalade character reads like a character written by a 13 year old boy who had never interacted with a real girl in his entire life. It had potential but the pace of the story was so agonizingly slow. It has a normal runtime of around an hour and a half but feels like four very long hours. I didn't care for it at all. I could not look past the Panic Pixie Dream Girl on steroids. Every scene with Marmalade just got worse and worse.
