So, 'Backup Boyfriend' is a quirky little comedy from 2015. You've got this college guy who's dealing with a typical heartbreak after his girlfriend jumps ship for the local football star. The tone is light and a bit absurd, but it has this undercurrent of genuine emotion as he tries to navigate his feelings. Pacing is decent; it doesn’t drag too much, which is nice. The performances are a mixed bag—some moments feel pretty genuine while others are more on the cheesy side. It's all very relatable if you've ever been in a situation where you just want to get back at someone but also maybe just figure your life out. The practical effects are minimal but effective in the comedic context. It’s definitely a watch if you enjoy college flicks with a twist.
