Plot

Regina, the once popular girl has to make new friends at her new conservative school. Problems arrive when she becomes enemies with Lívia, the school's queen bee, and falls in love with Márk, a musician. If these weren't enough, she decides to organize a cheerleader team.

Why It Shouldn't Become Popular and Deserves Two Thumbs Down

  1. The movie desperately tries to look like an American teen comedy, but it makes it more laughable.
  2. Terrible acting. The main characters are annoying as much as the writers wanted them to be. The acting of the main hero's dad was so awful, it became a meme in Hungary.
  3. During one scene, the windshield of a car is plain white due to the missing polaroid filter on the camera.
  4. The film has a cliche "How an unpopular girl gets famous in her school" story.
  5. Awful camerawork. During some premier plan, the center character is too blurry.
  6. Pointless scenes where the heroine is in an awkward pose, like the scene where she is grabs a soda from the machine and during that the camera shows her panties.
  7. Awful soundtrack.
  8. In one scene, the steady cam operator slides through the scene in front of the camera.

Popular Qualities That Got Two Thumbs Up

  1. The acting can be unintentionally funny to some people and make you have a good laugh.
  2. While this doesn't really do the movie any justice at all, the movie can be unintentionally "so bad, it's good" to some people.

Reception

Álom.net was widely panned by viewers for its poor writing, acting, problems with continuity, and cultural inaccuracy, among others. 444.hu wrote that it is "the worst movie of all time, and that’s why it became a cult film". Furthermore, 24.hu and Index.hu each named it the worst Hungarian film ever made, and it gained international notoriety by becoming the lowest rated film on IMDb's Bottom 100 list in 2011. British film magazine Total Film named it the fourth worst film ever made and FMC.hu included it on their list of the ten worst films ever made. Origo called it "one of the worst Hungarian films of [the decade]".
