A high school student's secret romance with her best friend's brother becomes a whimsical, earnest comedy.
Romantic, with wholesome humor. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
Nothing past what a PG-13 promises: some innuendo or implied sex and mild language.
Rated PG-13, but by what is on screen our estimate is fine from about 10.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
