Chema's earnest quest to date Claudia is filled with awkward moments that many can relate to, but sometimes it feels a bit formulaic. The film has its charming scenes, yet there are instances where the pacing drags, and certain character arcs feel underdeveloped. While the performances are generally solid, they occasionally lack the depth needed to truly resonate. It's a fun film for a casual watch, especially for younger audiences navigating similar experiences, but it may not leave a lasting impression for everyone. If you're in the mood for a light-hearted romp through high school romance, Who's a Good Boy? will suffice, but don't expect a groundbreaking narrative. Show less
