You Get Me

"You Get Me" is a 2017 American teen comedy film directed by Brent Bonacorso. The movie revolves around the life of Tyler (played by Halston Sage), a charming high school student who gets caught up in a complicated love triangle. After an argument with his girlfriend, Ali, Tyler finds himself in the arms of the beautiful new student, Holly. Tyler's life is turned upside down when he gets to know Holly, a girl from Los Angeles who has recently moved to their small town in New Hampshire. Despite their instant attraction, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Ali wants him back. However, things get even more complicated when Tyler discovers that Holly is a free spirit who is determined to be the center of attention. The movie begins with Tyler and Ali having a heated argument at a diner. They break up, and Tyler finds himself at a party, where he meets Holly. The two share a night of passion, and the next morning, Tyler finds that Ali is willing to take him back. But, as things turn out, Holly is determined to win him back, and she starts pursuing him. As the love triangle between Tyler, Ali, and Holly becomes more and more complicated, the movie delves into the themes of love, relationships, and high school drama. Tyler is torn between his love for Ali and his growing feelings for Holly. Meanwhile, Holly is desperate to prove that she can be a better partner than Ali, who she perceives as being possessive and clingy. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that both Ali and Holly have their own motivations for pursuing Tyler. Ali is desperate to hold onto him because she feels that he is her soulmate, while Holly sees Tyler as a fun adventure and a chance to break free from her mundane life in Los Angeles. Through the movie, the audience is shown the complexities of high school relationships and the different ways that people navigate love and heartbreak. The movie also explores the themes of insecurity, jealousy, and possessiveness in relationships, which are common among high school students. One of the key themes of the movie is the danger of assuming what others want or need. Holly, for example, assumes that Tyler shares her feelings of excitement and adventure, but she fails to consider the fact that Tyler may have deeper emotions and desires. Similarly, Tyler assumes that Ali wants him back, but he fails to consider the fact that she may need time to process their breakup and figure out what she wants. The movie also highlights the superficiality of high school relationships, where people often prioritize excitement and drama over genuine emotional connections. Holly and Tyler's relationship is based on physical attraction and a desire for excitement, rather than a deep emotional connection. Meanwhile, Ali's relationship with Tyler is based on a desire for security and stability, which is more meaningful but also limiting in its own way. As the movie comes to a close, Tyler is forced to choose between Ali and Holly. In the end, he chooses Ali, who is able to provide him with a sense of security and stability. However, the movie ends on a note of uncertainty, as Holly's determination to win Tyler back remains. Overall, "You Get Me" is a fun and relatable teen comedy that explores the complexities of high school relationships. With its witty script and charming performances, the movie is a delightful ride that offers a glimpse into the world of high school romance and drama. Despite its lighthearted tone, the movie offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, highlighting the insecurities, jealousies, and conflicts that often arise in relationships.
