Overview
- The Netflix-exclusive feature, which debuted Friday, is now streaming globally where the service operates.
- The comedy-drama follows two college freshmen whose fast friendship frays into passive-aggressive conflict on a crowded campus.
- Produced under Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison banner and directed by Chandler Levack, the release has prompted conflicting reports over whether Sandler appears on screen.
- Critics from Variety, Tom’s Guide and What’s on Netflix praise Sadie Sandler and Chloe East but fault a distracting dean’s-office framing device, sharp tonal swings and pacing that undercuts momentum, with some comparisons to Mean Girls and Heathers.
- Coverage also highlights a heavy 36-song soundtrack featuring Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo, The Killers and Mac Miller alongside an original score by Ryan and Hays Holladay.
