Why watch this film?

A mix of "Mean Girls" with "Fleabag", seasoned with the dilemmas and pains of Generation Z. That's how you can sum up "Honor Society", a Paramount+ original movie. Starring Angourie Rice (Betty Brant from the new Spider-Man movies), the feature tells the story of Honor - a super smart girl who wants her principal, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse (that's right, McLovin from "Superbad" is now the school principal!), to recommend her for a spot at an important university. To do this, she manipulates everyone and everything, forever changing the lives of the other classmates competing for the spot. Now, don't be fooled: it's not a dark comedy, but rather a fun coming-of-age story. It does get tiring, though, with the excessive breaking of the fourth wall, with Honor talking to the viewer a lot. Either way, this problem fades away with Rice and Mintz-Plasse's great performances. Special mention also goes to Gaten Matarazzo in his first big role outside of "Stranger Things".
