Social media is rife with criticism, with some audiences pointing out Percy White's alleged physical appearance—calling him "ugly" and unfit for the romantic lead. Others remain skeptical about the film's potential success, especially since it is scheduled for limited theatrical release and will likely end up on streaming platforms instead of wide cinema distribution.
Some fans have expressed disappointment over her apparent choices, arguing that Jenna Ortega has star power that could bring viewers to theaters or streaming services. However, others believe her participation signifies an attempt to move past the allegations, regardless of the project's criticisms.
