This college feels like high school, and for me Technicolor is the main character, everything feels more fun because the colors are so vibrant
Stella Purdy is gorgeous, and her clothes?! OMG

Not really the laugh out loud comedy I expected, and that's honestly a good thing. Cartoonishly entertaining and yet somehow manages to have quite a strong heart. Better than I thought it would be.
