The characters are opacque and stereotypical of course, but rather good in doing their job. The camera work is okay, sometimes a little bit too close, especially in moving shots. A nice thing are the filters used. They have a very warm and ...late 90's, early 2000's feel (which I love) that fits the southern California setting.
The music is okay too. Forgettable, but fitting. Stilol one of those movies that gets ruined by the end. The majority of problems does not get solved on-screen, but in narration withing the last minutes of the movie, as if they had to rush things to get the movie over with. Would have been nice to see an implementation instead.
Overall this was rather okay and fun to watch. At least it was way better than the 2008 remake with Selena Gomez, but we'll come to that at some point. It was fun to watch, but stereotypical and the story is old. Certainly not a game changer though.
I think this thing deserves a good 6 out of 10.
