snatched yo “i’m not like other girls” ass real quick!!!

This movie had no business being as good as it was. Go watch it. 

Noted

The thing about this too is that both girls had seriously good points.

Bethany called out Martha for why she is judgemental (more out of fear of not actually being liked so she pushes away), but she also agrees with Martha’s point that Bethany and her friends are somewhat treated like objects by their peers. 

Bethany likes being on camera and taking pictures of herself because she is super confident in herself, she enjoys being social, and she enjoys connecting with her friends (as many of us do), but she also understands Martha’s point about how the reasons why she does these things is not the same as the motives of the responses her peers have. 

Additionally, this film shows how the Popular Girl character isn’t actually a bitch that has to be taught some sort of lessons before she has an epiphany and changes how she acts. No, Bethany is actually really sweet. Throughout the movie she tries to support and encourage Martha’s confidence, teach Martha how to flirt, etc so that Martha herself grows more comfortable in herself and confident. Additionally, when Bethany makes her point, she isn’t in her face about it or makes it into an argument, she is calm and has a reasonable discussion to get at the root of what Martha is facing and understand it so that she can help, which is why Martha is able to confront the idea herself. Bethany shows a complete flip of the popular girl character. 

Seriously this movie is actually so good, especially the dynamics between these two characters and their character growth based on each other. Please watch this. 

Also I forgot Jack Black wasn’t a woman while watching this so there’s that

All completely true! Bethany is a great character and peak Jack Black because he isn’t completely OTT.
