2010 * TV-14 * 1h 34m For some reason, I've been seeing a lot of excellent teen movies lately. Maybe the algorithms have been pointing me in that direction. Anyway, this is one of those "Rebel with a Cause" type films. It was somewhat predictable, but I thought the acting and writing was above average. Very entertaining little flick.
Eddie "Gonzo" Gilman Ezra Miller) is a smart young upstart. He works on the school paper which is run by the super jock Gavin (Jesse McCartney). Gavin doesn't like to make waves and runs boring articles. When Gonzo has finally had enough, he starts his own radical paper. And what a stir he makes. He teams up with Evie (Zoe Kravitz) and runs the paper with a bunch of misfits, who are totally into bucking the system. They run articles about the school and its bullies that soon get the attention of the principal. As you'd expect, it gets Gonzo suspended. Then he takes it a little too far and he manages to make enemies of every single classmate.
Does he end up learning a lesson? You'll just have to give it a watch and see for yourself!
If you're looking for a fun movie with a bunch of young stars on their way to making it big, check out "Beware of the Gonzo."
Streaming for free on Kanopy and Hoopla (with your library card), Tubi, and Freevee. Also on Plex, Peacock, Pluto TV, and The Roku Channel.
31/2 out of 5 stars
