  • Banana Split serves up a sweet comedic dish that serves as a delightful calling card for co-writer and star Hannah Marks.

    What truly zings about Banana Split, though, is that it's a Gen Z romcom actually written by a teenager, with all those accompanying imperfections. That and its ending totally hits the sweet spot.

    Because the movie is so well-cast ([Hannah] Marks and [Liana] Liberato give very convincing performances as opposite women who become fast friends), it makes ... well-worn teen-comedy tropes enjoyable to watch.
