I thought the film was a sweet and funny coming-of-age story. The characters were relatable and the plot was engaging.
Sunny Sandler gave a breakout performance as Stacy. She was charming and believable as a young girl navigating the ups and downs of friendship and romance. Samantha Lorraine was also good as Lydia. The two actresses had great chemistry together.
The supporting cast was also solid. Adam Sandler and Jackie Sandler were witty as Stacy's parents. And Sadie Sandler was a scene-stealer as Stacy's older sister.
