I guess slackers have changed a lot since I was in high school.

John Jacob. To me I think they were obviously lying and the realistic thing was how she really believed them without any doubt in her mind because of insecurity

This is a comedy movie, they did it for comedic purposed. This scene isn't realistic in the slightest.

Sky Raven I haven’t watched the whole movie so I dunno if they were telling the truth or not. I meant more that the kids who are seen as party animals or slackers are probably doing better academically than most people think. What the bully girl said was true-they care both about school and having fun.

Ophelia sure it was for comedic purposes but I’m more trying to say that it’s realistic that the party animals or slackers are probably actually doing better than their image projects

The dream is to get into Harvard. There no way it was that girls 5th choice lol

call of duty ghosts remember the girls called her the 1% . and we all know how they get their kids into these colleges. “Cough” Lori Laughlin “cough”.

@@kayanurshiya3778 LMAO for real, they buy there way in. Its the sad reality.

@@usaherobrine What’s crazy is that theres so many rich parents who get away with this but Lori Loughlin however got caught.

This scene is not realistic in the slightest. In reality, only Molly would be the one going to any Ivy League and these other slackers would be at community college or McDonald's. This movie is about as realistic as Harry Potter lol

I cracked there

“Don’t judge me, it was my fifth choice; Harvard” Easily my favorite line in the movie

😂😂😂😂

The fuck u talkin about lol

Adam Khid ?

What about high school musical?I’ve seen plenty more

This scene is not realistic in the slightest. In reality, only Molly would be the one going to any Ivy League and these other slackers would be at community college or McDonald's. This movie is about as realistic as Harry Potter lol. Oh BTW, where did you go to college, Charlotte?

How is it a true scene? Everyone in high school knows where everyone else is going to college long before the last day of school. Everyone in the top 20 of their graduating classes is obsessed with each other's grades and class rank. They are all in the same activities, clubs, etc. You know in advance who is Ivy worthy. It does not come as a surprise. Sure, some colleges let in losers just if they are good in sports, like the guy playing soccer at Stanford, but overall this is the most unrealistic scene I've ever seen. A totally contrived plot device.

@@MetFansince well, I guess it's true to me and 127 people who liked this comment. in my case, a lot of people from my previous school were applying to Ivy League schools and all of them were super diverse with their lifestyles (just as we see in the movie), we never really paid too much attention to each other's grades unless we were friends with that person (we were too focused on our studies), as for the clubs my school didn't have many thus it was normal to see a lot of different people in one club, and our extracurricular activities were our own private, boring businesses. I think it also might have been different for me as we didn't have a "top 20" or any other rankings, hence no rat races, at least no visible ones. i don't know about you, though, in my country, seniors leave school earlier than usual, around the time one gets their results. Consequently a person such as Molly, a book smart, who doesn't really care about anything other than studying and her only best friend seems likely to get surprised by such occurrence, especially when taking into account the opening scene of her listening to the podcast mentioning "you've worked harder than everyone and that is why you're a champion" and the "picnic" scene where we get informed about the girls' commitment of making studying their primary focus, all of that leads to Molly truly coming off as a strong individual who till know, quite immaturely believed in her superior being over others. For a few high school past years, she lived by these rules of entrepreneur-like thoughts strongly believing that if she obeys them and restricts herself to her work she MUST not only get to her goal but also seriously be smarter than others. I think that this scene and movie overall tries to tell us that being a book smart person isn't the only successful way to get into good colleges and admonish teens to live their young lives while they can, because at the end high school isn't just for studying, but also having fun, making cool memories and falling in love which I think is all-important to highlight especially in our times when following unhealthy studying patterns, hustle culture and toxic productivity gains popularity while college-age youth and ages 12-18 suicide rates increase.

Met Fan since 1968 nah not in my school. Most people weren’t obsessed with grades and I’m in Columbia right now, despite being more of a party person. Sure, I studied but never to the point of obsession.

Your country? What country is that?

Paragraphs please!

What is the rule of threes?

@@vighneshpillai7996 I assume it means the third time is the charm. I could be wrong though.

Yup agree.... In germany as well

Just because you get drunk or whatever doesn't mean you can't get good grades that get you into colleges

Kxrrin it’s not the people who get drunk, it’s the assholes who didn’t care and repeatedly tried to ruin learning for the rest of us

they did try-they just didn't wear the fact that they tried on their sleeves

Just because you party doesn't mean you don't do the work. And it doesn't make you an asshole. It's just time management.

@Luna Saito MIT doesn't do legacy but yeah hard agree with the rest there

By the way pips, just so people don't get the wrong idea, I don't mean that people who smoke, get drunk, get high or have copious amounts of sex can't get in a good school. My point is just that I wouldn't have given this girl a chance to make me feel stupid and I would have walked out. I haven't watched the movie but unless they showed me their admission letters, I would have remained skeptical.

And then see her in Yale. Still not giving a fuck. The bully didn't fail.

@Luna Saito its not about that it's about kids with good time management who can party and get good grades

@Luna Saito i mean yeah but its unfair to compare people that occasionally party and drink to girls that take Molly every weekend like in that case I def agree

Ikr ! That's the worst part

Melanie Martinez! LUNCH BOX FRIENDS?

The part where she looks at the black boy in K-12. Like she's flirting with him and slowly lifts her head up?

Coaster_Kid 07 wow, so true.

If this doesn’t describe me down to a T i don’t know what does :/ and I didn’t even go to an ivy league

Okay, that makes me feel better about myself 😂

But the handjob girl had a good SAT Test result and the one guy got awesome job....you didn´t get moral of the story, did you?

tintin D outside America this doe happen because school usually in the subcontinent gets off at 2pm which gives time for having good grades and a social life

Yeah I thought it was a bit of a stretch in terms of realism but in terms of being a plot point it was fine

That kind of bugged me too, no way are that many kids from one school getting into such top tier schools lol. But aside from that it was a great movie, and a much more realistic high school narrative than you see in most.

This is a comedy movie, they did it for comedic purposed. This scene isn't realistic in the slightest.

also some people are just smarter.

@Aiyaluna Yourke yeah because "coding" is for dumb people right?

The "popular" girl literally says in the scene that she got a high score on the SATs. And the boy who failed 7th grade got hired by GOOGLE for his coding skills (the hiring process for Google is also famously difficult). Accept what the movie says, these kids were both having fun and studying.

@@puffball5329 there is a difference between coding and programming, even I can code it's not really a big deal. Programming is an entirely different thing that actually requires problem solving skills

@@puffball5329 😂 Beautiful👌🏾. The point is that he was smart enough to learn a skill that gets him to where he is satisfied with his achievements. Ivy leagues are great schools for those that benefit from it. He might even be so great at coding that he could teach at an ivy league one day and be able to say he enjoyed his adolescence. This scene is spot on though🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

tbh i know alot of people in my school who got straight A's get denied by their colleges of choice bcs they weren't active in any orgs, clubs, or any extracurricular. Universities look for well rounded students who both get good grades and are active in organizations too!

I like how Gigi is still calm despite being shouted at.

Very true.

What I didn’t like is that if someone doesn’t like partying they’re missing out? Like some people genuinely don’t like partying bc they’re more introverted or prefer other activities and that’s ok. But here they are portrayed as losers who are not fun :/ but honestly it just perpetuates the idea that extroverted pastimes are somehow superior.

marvel096 yeah, I think as long as ppl do things they enjoy, and occasionally push their boundaries (safely, of course, nothing illegal or dangerous) and try new things, then they’re not really missing out on anything. They’re just living life-amazingly, too. Since they have that balance b/w working/studying and being active/having fun.

Amen

@@marvel096 yeah i don't agree with that part. I think the whole point is to just try and find balance between school and things you like doing.

Same!!

What does he mean by that tho?

@@palaciospalacios9319 Rule of threes means you'll succeed after you try it three times. He failed the 7th grade twice and passed the third time, that's why

13strong I completely agree! And yes, Queen Gigi 😭

*Fifth*

@@kerenacosta7966 thank you, apparently, I can't spell :)

Arizona state

NASA or something

hogwards

I’d go for that

nice--it's gotta have detective jj bittenbinder though

you would be suprised ...

Except Gigi. Everything turned out perfect for her 😂

John Mulaney would definitely have to be in that movie

NewAgeTelevision you say that cuz your probably at a community college 😂😂

@@rayjohnson2768 it's actually the truth

Ray Johnson There’s nothing wrong with going to community college.

Most people today either go to escape their parents, for the lifestyle/aesthetic, or because their parents pressured them to go.

Christopher Rognalsen Great post

Same here I was neither that great in studies nor I did party.I am only good at one thing I am too lazy

Yeah I don’t like that they painted party I no as the only way of being cool. That part was very cliché.

​@@marvel096 That's not what the movie was saying at all. Also, let's not glamorize the idea of not trying. Do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, but also show up for yourself. Work hard and smart. Otherwise where are you going in life?

Chibbykins yeah obviously but this just keeps perpetuating the idea that if you don’t like to party you’re a loser or your failing in some sense and that’s just the idea of extroverted of having a good time.

Please don't be sad and too hung up about it. I suffered the same thing you did , i barely had any social life during my teenage years and was too caught up with school and getting good grades that i missed out on a lot of fun events, eventually all the popular girls went to prestigeous colleges and now i'm stuck in a rollercoaster of problems including health problems and really shitty school. So yeah, i am now suffering from terrible anxiety and panic attacks due to extreme stress and i really regret wasting my youth on being a total idiot who closed off the world just to get good grades. Sorry for the rant.

khouloud AIT HSAIN khouloud AIT HSAIN everything will work out. There’s still plenty of time to find yourself and become the person you want to be. Your still young

This happened to me too. I was a good student but always had bad grades. I have a mix of every letter grade in my transcripts. I guess never judge a book by its cover

This was me too. I missed out on a lot of fun as a teenager and early 20s and went through many cycles of anxiety and depression. In the past few years I'm finally finding my footing with a job I like, hobbies I find fulfilling, a nice partner and fun experiences. They require dedication and patience but I'm finally learning that and finding the balance that works for me. It's messy and imperfect but it works for me. I no longer regret all the time it took to begin to fulfil myself. Now I have the perspectives of both sides, and can relate and communicate to people who are struggling in the same way I was without judgement, which you have to have walked in those footsteps to understand. A lot of the deeper aspects of our personalities are formed by our pain, and by our struggles, not our successes. Never wish to be someone different. Just be patient and work towards fulfilling who you are. That's all I have to say. This movie looks hilarious.

Those of us who emulate authority and shun peer-influences stunt our own brain development. Partly because authorities never show there full selves to us. So we are imitating limited less human role models. But also because no adult enjoys being surrounded by teens. Those who do, get crushed by having to deal with uncaring and unintelligent school administrators. Good teachers leave quickly. So by definition the authorities who remain are those adults who failed so hard at life they had no choice but to settle for the hell of taking care of us. These adults are not the best and brightest society has to offer. Emulating them is a guaranteed dead-end.

could you explain this comment?

Same. I’m in college now, and I wish I partied in high school. I shouldn’t have taken high school so seriously. I could’ve been partying and getting drunk and making memories, but I just didn’t so my whole experience was so boring.

How does GPA and SAT scores coordinate to paying for college?

Francesca Bailey i think they’re talking about how the good grades and test scores will get u scholarships

@@miammarie ok that makes sense

U R RIGHT!!!!

maybe it was sampled

Yessss... I was so looking for this comment.

Yes I noticed that too

Siddhant Tripathi yessssssss!!!😭

She's great in the show JUSTIFIED also

Dude, YES. The one you're talking about is unbelievable, yeah?

That’s all you THINK they do, but usually these kind of kids work incredibly hard in silence

You’re probably not going anywhere after Columbia, as people like you usually end up as worker bees after college. Although your lifestyle may of benefited you shortly, those “overachievers” are still the ones who will be your CEO’s and bosses. (That, or this all is just a really fucked up case of survival bias.)

@@c-lexis8747 CEOs sounds like an inherited job ngl

@@c-lexis8747 CEOs were usually the popular kids and/or bullies in HS, honestly

what about connections

Hogwarts was my backup.

Ew

amazingabby25 the numbers

@FilmGamer Google controlled your mind into stop working 😂

Arrianna Tate tbh it just shows how when you’re uptight and demeaning people because you’re ‘smarter’ just comes around. I think that was the most realistic scene in the movie. Don’t judge people and expect people not to judge you either.

It’s called life

@@mikaelagomez3430 yeah I forgot that it makes it all ok

She didn't let anyone but her best friend be nice to her. She talks shit about them too and talks down to and bosses around everyone. They were just blowing off steam and felt bad when they saw she overheard them, probably would have apologized but she wanted to fight. They started being nice to her when she let them.

Bc movie logic

The track at 3. 25 is copied from a song called ' Humma Humma' by A R Rahman. ( From the 90s) . Listen to it. Its fun.

EXACTLYYYY

oh my god yes it is

So can anyone tell me the name of the song?

@@manujanardhanan1878 The Humna Song. The new version which was released in 2017.

@@manujanardhanan1878 double rum cola by fata boom

Yes. Her name is Beanie Feldstein

@@_stuartmanja Thanks, I didn't know that. She's awesome ❤️

It actually is dude!

My friends and I would literally LIE about going to study in the library so we could meet up in the student commons to play video games or ditch school to get lunch so HEY KIDS you don’t need to study all the time and be a great student to get into a good school

The only good scene in the movie

This movie was about the privileged kids, unlike Lady Bird
