What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Includes mentions of common apps or platforms, but no heavy product placement.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild profanity is plausible for this PG-13 romantic comedy, but the supplied passages do not document specific words or frequency.

LGBTQIA characters1/5
Why this rating?

A character is described as being in a polyamorous relationship; LGBTQIA prominence is otherwise unclear from the supplied material.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

Saint Valentine is discussed in a history class, but religious ideas are not a major focus.

Romance4/5
Why this rating?

Romance is central, involving mistaken identity, attraction, kissing, breakups, and eventual declarations of feelings.

Frightening scenes1/5
Why this rating?

Not a scary movie; focuses on comedic misunderstandings.

Sexual content & nudity2/5
Why this rating?

Contains romantic tension, kissing, and mentions of polyamory.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

Alcohol appears to be incidental in social settings rather than a major focus, but the supplied passages provide no scene-specific substance details.

Violence1/5

Includes minor accidents, such as a student being hit by a soccer ball and a bicycle collision involving a car.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience2/5
Why this rating?

Zoey faces embarrassment, rumors, relationship confusion, and social consequences, eventually speaking honestly about her feelings and mistakes.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Zoey invents a matchmaking app, applies analytical thinking to relationships, and builds a website for Jam Fest. These show meaningful inventive problem-solving without making creativity the film’s sole focus.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

Features an ethnically diverse cast in a collegiate setting.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

The film includes computer science, app design, web development, and a history-class discussion, but education is not its main purpose.

Kindness & empathy3/5
Why this rating?

Empathy and care are central to the protagonist's development as she helps the injured lead.

Positive messages3/5
Why this rating?

Explores themes of honesty, integrity, and the idea that romantic love is more than just algorithmic compatibility.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

Zoey is intelligent and creative but lies about her identity; she later takes responsibility, apologizes, and repairs relationships.
