I enjoyed every minute, it's a warm evening sunday movie to finally end the reign of sad queer movies. Something light and fun for teenagers to identify themselves.

Fresh air on queer movies
A perfect movie that knows it's audience and delivers
I don't often use the word perfect when it comes to a movie but this one comes really close.
This movie is meant to be a lighthearted sapphic romance and it does it's job admirably. You can tell that the writers have spent a lot of time on sapphic Ao3 because they nail every beloved trope perfectly.
The cast is wonderful as well. Auli'i Cravalho is a revelation. I have rarely seen someone representing pining so well Mega Mullaly is hilarious and plays such an amazing mom. Rowan Blanchard does a fine job of playing a gay mess
An especially great thing is that there is zero homophobia in this movie. Not unlike Schitt's Creek queer people here are just allowed to be without having to constantly represent the everyday day they face
Of course this movie is not for anyone. It's meant for the queer community and if you are not part of it a lot of it might go over your head or make you angry(the way several borderline homophobic reviews have already shown).
SO WELL DONE!
I didn't have the highest expectations for this movie, but they were surpassed in every way. I did not expect Disney to so openly tackle a film of this sort. I fully expected them to shy away given the subject matter. However, the way this film tackled coming out, and same sex relationships was just beautiful. The story came together so well and the ending leaves you with butterflies. Great job Disney!
