At first THE HALF OF IT fools you into thinking it’s going to be just another quirky teen romcom. It is so much more layered than that – the story of an over-achiever (Leah Lewis) switching up her homework-for-cash business to helping out a jock (Daniel Diemer) with a love letter goes in some interesting directions. It’s refreshing to see a small town dramedy that doesn’t mock Christian beliefs – religion is very important to this community, every major character goes to church on a Sunday and while their views may be conservative, they don’t seem so small-minded that they would go in with pitchforks if what has gone on with their young people came out, that they would forgive eventually. Don’t expect a happy ending with a bow on it, but rather a hopeful hovering question mark. SSP
