Explosive teen comedy

I liked it. A welcome tongue in cheek high school comedy-ish (a black comedy, moreso) about seniors Mara and Dylan, who finally begin to date after their classmates randomly begin to explode. It sounds like a horror feature, but it's really not. It's more like a nod to the old hippie song "Live for Today," because the kids aren't promised a tomorrow, so why not do what you want today? I say kids, but the rest of the senior class is mere window dressing; our story is firmly about our featured couple, luckily played with great fervor by Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer. We're not looking at great depth, but it's a sweet romance, mildly thought provoking, and nakedly honest look at young adult awakening, and life is general. We could all remember to enjoy more of today, and worry less about tomorrow. Recommended.

Some depth to this, very good watch.

How would you feel, if one day there was a chance you could just spontaneously pop, that's how life is for Mara and her fellow students.I really did enjoy it, talk about a crazy combination of genres, it's shocking, funny, romantic, goofy, but there's also a bit of depth to it, I really liked how it concluded, it delivered some knockout emotional blows.A definite 80's high school vibe feel about it, it's well presented, nicely made, and well acted.Ambiguity can sometimes be irritating in films, it wasn't here, the point of the film was the effect on Mara, not the actual spontaneous popping off.How good was as Katherine Langford as Mara, I thought she was excellent as the lead, I loved how natural she was, and just how the character behaved.Enjoyed it, 8/10.
