Hormones are running wild at Buchanan High. Animal obsessed student body president Alex Truelove is an awkward teen looking for true love. He falls hard for Claire and they become video partner best friends. Eventually, they get into a relationship. Claire lets slip that Alex has been preventing her from devirginizing him. They decide on a hotel rendezvous to do it for the first time. Then he meets openly gay Elliott.The crass friend Dell does something crass to prove a point. My move would be less crass but still somewhat crass. Dell is more than a simplistic idiot sidekick. This is a good sexual confusion movie. I do have a presumed idea of where this movie is going but this takes a different road. I expected the hotel to be the climax. It might be better to structure that way. It may not be as sweet but it would be more dramatic. After the big emotional explosion, it can't really get that big again. Emotional tension kinda drift slowly down. Even his big reveal can't break that level again. Honestly, she has a bigger emotional arc than he does. Maybe, the coming out story is thankfully no longer shocking and this should be her story instead. Of course, there is a comparison to the other recent teen coming out movie, Love, Simon. I think they are both very compelling and slightly flawed in different ways. They could be a solid double bill.

From the director of "The Skeleton Twins" comes one of the latest movies by Netflix and even before it came out has found its first major obstacle, the rather recent release of "Love, Simon" great teen movie on the LGBT theme, unfortunately the comparison it is almost spontaneous and "Alex Strangelove" does not stand that. Unfortunately, the film is not very involved in developing the LGBT theme that quickly falls into the background as well as all other more interesting or creative ideas (such as the extravagant editing and the curious direction appreciable in the first part but that are lost with advancing of time) that gave him a more bizarre personality. At the beginning also seems to be able to clear several aspects usually circumvented in films of this type but in the middle part loses some 'of his courage and gets lost in the easiest and fast route becoming a trivial teen movie without any particular peculiarity due of a limping and somewhat superficial script, especially when touching the key of homosexuality. In the last few minutes it resumed but now it is too late to make a great film and in conclusion it is remembered as a banal but light and carefree movie that would have served greater maturity and depth.

This movie was badly written and badly acted. worse, it attempts to portray a fairly serious topic with humor and levity. no gay person acts the way did, and actually have a real struggle with coming out. he had only stereotypical straight boy problems, most likely written by a straight person. watch Love, Simon instead.
