Stargirl

This week's easiest comedy pick is Stargirl. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 572 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Grace VanderWaal — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Stargirl is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Stargirl from the crowd. An unassuming high schooler finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world. The chemistry Grace VanderWaal and Graham Verchere bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2020. What keeps Stargirl from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Stargirl is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Grace VanderWaal anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
