This movie based on an old time classic was really updated with a diverse cast of great actors. Well done!

Plot summary
Cyrus Nollen is a teenage computer genius and legendary joker with a "nose for trouble" at Bergerac High. He's smart, sensitive, funny, and madly in love with his friend Roxy, but painfully shy because of his large nose. Unfortunately Roxy tells Cyrus that she's interested in the new kid in Cyrus' Biology class, Chris Newville. Chris is nervous about speaking to Roxy, so Cyrus sends a few charming witty texts to get him started. But Cyrus gets more and more involved, living vicariously through Chris, revealing in this chance to tell Roxy how he feels without fear of rejection. Things spiral out of control, and Cyrus has to keep the illusion alive by taking over all of Chris's social networking, to make him seem smarter and deeper than he is. In no time at all, Roxy is head over heels with someone who technically doesn't exist, and the two have to scramble to keep from getting caught. Cyrus Nollen is Cyrano de Bergerac for the cyber age, a fast, fun adaptation of a classic is the vein of Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You.

Seen it before
Been there, seen that, nothing new. Wasn't a terrible movie if you could get past the cheesy part. It reminds me highly of those middle school aimed movies where everything is overdone.
But more than anything, why? Why does he have to have that nose? Takes it completely out of a teen movie into a painful to see parody. Its ridiculous for no reason.

Comes just short of being a parody of itself
Imagine every "movie made for teens by 45 year old white guys who don't understand teens" cliche you can think of: internet hackers. Pop punk theme music. Half-assed "high school sucks/just be yourself" messaging. And of course, the goddamn hashtags. Do baby boomers think everyone under the age of 21 is so obsessed with social media that hashtags are just "how the kids talk nowadays?"
Anyway, this movie is all of that, mixed in with low rent acting, goofy and at times pretentious writing, an arrogant, shallow protagonist you're actively hoping gets killed off by the end of the movie, and flat cinematography. All the kid actors are terrible. Danny Trejo is slumming it as usual. I want to know who in the boardroom came up with the idea of a teen-centric movie based on a kind-of-above-average rom-com from the 70s based on a classical French play everyone pretended to know about in the first place. I'm not mad, I just wanna talk.
In any event, if you're looking for a so bad it's good movie, here's you're next fix. If you're a lonely teenage boy looking for something to project onto and stroke your Randian power fantasy about how the whole world isn't smart enough for you and how that girl from your Mod Civ B class would totally swoon over you if only she knew the vast scope of your expansive intellect, this is right up your alley. Hopefully it'll keep you occupied long enough to keep you from shooting up your school or something. If you're not either of these people, I can't say you'll be getting a whole lot out of watching this.
