Diablo Cody wrote Lisa Frankenstein who you probably know from Juno, Jennifer's Body, and Tully. The film has a great flow from scene to scene and keeps a logical consistency. The characters feel grounded and fleshed out. The director is pretty young with Zelda Williams. She had done The Legend of Korra and some other, never heard of, movies but as an actress.
Kathryn Newton of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania fame plays the main character. I didn't like her as Cassie Lang in that but here she's good as well as her performance in the Detective Pikachu movie. Her in-character step sister Liza Soberano performs much better in her likable role as the loveable cheerleader.
The film is funny and got a few laughs out of me. My wife enjoyed it and we had a good experience. I wouldn't ever watch it again though. Result: B-
