Don't Say Good Luck
Why we love it ❤️
Sophie Birenbaum trying to nail her big musical moment while her entire home life is falling apart is such a specific and real teen experience and Sunny Sandler plays it with so much heart. Melanie Lynskey and Max Greenfield bring chaotic parent energy that feels painfully familiar if you grew up watching adults pretend everything is fine. This is giving classic high school musical movie but with way more emotional texture than you expect going in. The stage drama and the home drama collide in a way that makes you root for Sophie even harder. If you were that theater kid holding everything together with glitter glue and stubbornness, this one will hit close to home. Watch it for the chaos, stay for the way it sneaks up on your heart.
