The A-List

About This Movie

So, 'The A-List' (2015) is this quirky little film that dives into the high school experience through a rather unusual lens. Eric Schultz, the stereotypical popular kid, gets roped into completing a set of whimsical high school fantasies by his guidance counselor, Sylvia Martin. It’s got that offbeat vibe with a mix of comedy and drama that feels a bit nostalgic. The pacing is interesting—sometimes meandering but it allows moments to breathe. The performances have this genuine quality; you can feel the awkwardness of teenage years. It's not flashy, but there's charm in its simplicity. The themes of self-discovery and the pressures of popularity really resonate, making it distinctive in a sea of teen flicks.

Unique take on high school tropes · Strong performances from the cast · Interesting blend of comedy and drama
