Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

This cheerful, honest story of friendship and romance stands out for its relatable, well-rounded characters and down-to-earth themes. You and I Are Polar Opposites shows how people with very different personalities still experience the same anxieties and hopes. The visual gags are funny, the characters are endearing, and the themes are hopeful. All in all, it's a fun watch that makes high school seem a little more manageable—if only because it shows you're not alone in what you feel.
