Overview

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life-dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge-he follows. After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues-and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.

Viewing Notes

Mostly enjoyable HS flick with likable characters and an okay mystery. Plays more like a nerd fantasy for outcast teens. Yet the most unbelievable thing is the bus ride back to Florida that seemingly gets our protagonist back in time for prom. I call bullshit. Bus trips are excruciatingly long. I speak from experience.

All in all a decent movie that will make you feel old.
