Reel Review: Tubi’s How to Lose a Popularity Contest is a Young Adult Classic
Tubi’s all-new YA romance How to Lose a Popularity Contest offers sabotage and chaos tied into one quirky story!
The film stars Sara Waisglass and Chase Hudson as Ellie and Nate. Ellie is your typical average girl; focused solely on school and grades. Meanwhile Nate is the classic jock and popular guy; getting through high school one party at a time. When one class president election threatens the course of Ellie’s life, Ellie and Nate are forced to form an alliance.
In order to get into her dream robotics program, Ellie must show some form of leadership skill. Desperate to do anything, she finds herself aiding in Nate’s campaign to run for class president. Ellie soon finds that there is more to Nate than the laid-back slacker she thought she knew.
Nate originally runs for class president as a popularity contest, but soon realizes with Ellie by his side, he might have what it takes. Together Waisglass and Hudson offer a new take on the nerd and jock aesthetic. Offering fun twists and turns, the story teaches you to look beyond the surface of a person.
After the success of Tubi’s Sidelined: A Quarterback Bad Boy and Me, the platform has reached to create even more YA romances. How to Lose a Popularity Contest offers a fun story and an easy comfort watch. And we definitely wouldn’t be disappointed with a sequel in the future!
How to Lose a Popularity Contest is available to watch on Tubi now!
