Key opinion
This American remake is widely criticized for being an unnecessary, uninspired copy of the 2008 French original that lacks the emotional depth and charm of its predecessor. While the soundtrack receives consistent praise, the film is largely faulted for its flat performances and a failure to effectively adapt the source material for an American audience.
| Score | The film's soundtrack is a consistent highlight, offering an engaging collection of songs that elevates the viewing experience. | |
| Acting | Demi Moore delivers a sincere and professional performance that stands out as the most credible acting contribution in the film. | |
| Adaptation | The screenplay is viewed as a derivative, scene-for-scene copy of the French original that adds no new ideas or unique value. | |
| Acting | Miley Cyrus is widely considered miscast, with critics citing her performance as artificial and failing to capture the youthful vulnerability required for the protagonist. | |
| Emotion | Opinions on the film's general appeal are divided; some viewers find it a light, nostalgic watch suitable for teens, while others dismiss it as a superficial and empty melodrama. |
