Lame movie about twin girls who don't get along: one is a blonde while the other a goth. There's a strange neighbour which both get involved with. The goth girl tries to form a band while her sister hurts her own neck. The parents have gone away for six weeks so they organise a party. Not exactly original and even less good. It's very bland and the characters are boring. The only good one was the blonde girl's Love Island boyfriend. I could easily list the Irish movies this effort has copied: summer of the Leaving Cert (Last of the high kings), goth who stands out in South Dublin (This must be the place), local teens starting a band (Sing Street), the house party (Stitches) and the dropout kid forced to go to college by his stern father (practically every Hollywood teen movie from the 1980s). What also annoyed me is that the neighbour said he had an old Moog music keyboard yet they didn't show it. Why? Because the filmmakers didn't have one as it's too expensive. Even better, everyone in the movie says the name wrong: it's pronounced moag not muug.
