cringe

I can always appreciate something made with good intentions and a genuine desire to tell a good story, but it is just so cliche and the whole thing feels like a giant anti-bigotry advertisement for preteens. The characters are given whole speeches preaching equality in a way that wasn’t just unrealistic, but made me cringe so hard my teeth nearly fell out. I don’t like feeling as if a story is trying to teach me a lesson, which this one made abundantly clear over and over again. It probably could’ve had something when it came to the plot, but the characters were utterly unlikeable, and the dialogue was ridiculous. There are ways of pointing out bigotry and making social comments against it without shoving it in the audience’s face like the author is assuming their readers are idiots that can’t interpret subtext. Overall it feels childish and cliche. Just my opinion, obviously, but not worth reading unless you want to feel like someone is preaching about anti-bigotry to you for 30 minutes. To each their own.

    I’m not sure where you got anger from, but my review is really just pointing out the things that I didn’t like and expanding on why. It’s fine if you liked the story, but there’s no need to assign anger to my review just because I didn’t like it. I’m very critical of the things I read, and I like posting my opinions in case other people might agree. Like I said, I can appreciate good intentions and I understand the story was trying to convey a message. I just think it was executed poorly. It’s okay if we disagree.
