I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical about seeing this movie. I mean, the reviews were so mixed! From saying that it was a great movie to see with your BFFs to saying that the acting was terrible and America Ferrera stole the show.

Although I didn’t go with a friend, as everyone else in the theatre seemed to, I went with my little sister, who liked the first movie, but would only watch it once or twice.
