To Pop a Cherry is an intriguing mix of comedy and drama that dives into the awkwardness of teenage life, specifically through the lens of Lisa, a 17-year-old navigating her sexuality while in a wheelchair. Cristine Berglund does a commendable job balancing humor with deeper themes of friendship and self-acceptance. The pacing is spot-on, allowing moments of levity to coexist with more poignant scenes. Performances are genuine, especially the chemistry between Lisa and her best friend Elsie, who is both a support and a source of comedic tension. The film avoids clichés, diving straight into the complexities of adolescence without shying away from the struggles Lisa faces. It's refreshing to see a narrative that embraces discomfort yet manages to stay light-hearted.
