I saw Edge of Seventeen recently, and I give it a 4/5 stars. As someone on the edge of seventeen myself, I'd been wanting to see this movie ever since I first saw the trailer. It was pretty much everything I expected it to be--which was part of the reason I couldn't give it 5 stars. It was extremely predictable--the main character has a screwed up family life, and is constantly compared to her perfect older sibling. She has a falling out with her best friend and feels lost and alone for awhile, but they make up at the end. The guy she likes is a major f***boy and she ends up with the nerdy awkward guy who's been pursuing her the whole film. Basically, it was your typical teen movie. It was cute, and at times relatable. I think everyone has felt a little awkward at times and has wanted to change something about themselves, especially as a teenager. The ending was what I expected, but not as satisfying as I hoped. I knew she'd make up with her best friend and her brother, but I hoped they would show more than her just saying "have a great day" to the both of them. Overall, I really liked it, and would absolutely recommend it to a friend.
