Storyline
Incoming NYU freshmen and childhood neighbors Naomi and Ely have been in love with each other their whole lives, even though Ely isn't exactly into girls. The institution of a "No Kiss List" has prevented the two from rifts in the past, but their bond is tested when they both fall for the same guy. The once inseparable pair must figure out if their friendship is strong enough to get past such an epic predicament as they struggle with the realities of growing up. Victoria Justice and Pierson Fode star in Naomi + Ely's No Kiss List, based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist). The film is directed by Kristin Hanggi (Broadway's Rock of Ages) from an adaptation written by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer (Step Up 3D). The film is produced by Alexandra Milchan (The Wolf of Wall Street), Lesley Vogel, Emily Gerson Saines ("Temple Grandlin"), Hanggi and Bob Abramoff (Detention) and executive produced by Skip Klintworth.

Movies like these usually aren't my thing, but I actually enjoyed this film! Both Naomi and Ely were relatable, both as individuals and as best friends, which made the film even more interesting. Even the situation between their parents was realistic. I really admire how real they made everything seem, making it easier for the audience to understand and relate to their own lives.
Things between friends can get pretty sticky sometimes, especially when the friends are growing up, figuring out their identities, and trying to find their way in the world. The film really showed how hard this transition can be for young people of this generation, which was really cool. With the complications that come with school, family life, and the transition from being a teenager to becoming an adult, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and lost in the changes. But this film teaches the importance of embracing life, learning from mistakes and messed up situations, and moving forward.
Overall, this movie teaches young people a great lesson on love, friendship, and growing up. Good writing, good actors, good plot - good movie!
