Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, a Netflix special, came out on September 7th, 2018. The movie focuses on Sierra Burgess, played by Shannon Purser, who’s a studious Stanford hopeful, and Veronica, portrayed by Kristine Froseth, a cheerleader who bullies the people that she thinks are losers. It all begins when Jamey, portrayed by Noah Centineo, walks up to Veronica in a restaurant, in hopes of getting her number. She instead gives Sierra Burgess’ cell phone number to him instead of her own. Later that night, Jamey texts who he thinks is Veronica, but in reality is Sierra. Sierra is confused by this mystery man texting her, but goes along with whoever he is. Throughout the movie, Sierra has to decide what’s important to her: grades or a social life. Will everything eventually work out for Sierra? I found Sierra Burgess Is a Loser a decent movie. It is definitely not something I’m going to watch many more times, if at all. I did like the actors/actresses chosen for this movie. It still has comedic touches within it, as well as the basic motifs: romance and friendship. The storyline itself was difficult to watch because at some points, it was outright boring. The movie seemed to drag on during some scenes or there wasn’t enough pizzaz to keep my distracted eyes locked. It was the predictable love story with a cat fight between the two main characters. It’s a cliché that you see in every teenage love story. However, I did really enjoy the soundtrack of the film. Overall, this movie is a three out of five.
