That was a huge pile of dogshit
Ben platt should not have been playing a high schooler.
The story is overall just not very good then again that’s just a problem with the original story.
Most of the songs are forgettable apart from two that I enjoyed but that’s also a problem with the source material
Goes on way too long, there is no reason this movie is 2 hours and 15 minutes long.
No one cares; this place is abandoned anyway. But I wanted to share what I thought because it also reminded me of this amino. Bleh

Imma be real, I tried watching the movie and then stopped less than 20 minutes in.
Also I have no clue what’s canon in the movie and what isn’t.
needed more self awareness, especially if you’re going through with casting a 28 year old as a 17 year old.
No you're so real, movie was fucking ASS
I just watched it tonight, it was very ass
Also wow someone actually was here to see this, very proud

Dude I had the misfortune of watching it opening night in the movie theater, total train wreck and it was even harder to take Ben Platt's performance seriously.
Also! Oh yeah, I get notifications for this amino all the time if there's activity. I also saw the name Michael Mell and it awakened something in me like a sleeper agent

I feel so bad for people who liked this musical, because I ed this amino just because it was in that similar genre of angsty teen musicals like be more chill but watching the movie in 2025 was the first exposure I had to the full story of dear Evan Hansen.
And I’m not really even a fan of BMC anymore but I’d def be in the theater opening day of the movie if that ever happened. Even if they casted a 28 year old Jeremy.
But I feel bad for the people who liked the musical because this was completely butchered. It would’ve been tolerable had they just casted a guy that looked like he shouldve been in high school. But no, 28 year old Ben platt.
The worse scenes were whenever he was about to cry, he looked like a struggling opioid addict, especially at those points.
The emphasis on social media was also really dumb. Not dumb in the decision to include but they way they presented it all. Especially the backlash scene, showing Reddit comments saying “id kill myself if I was in that family too” made me laugh when obviously it shouldn’t but mainly just because it was Reddit :skull:
