Critics Sentiment
Ben and Jamie discuss their relationship and share passionate kiss
Jamie confronted by childhood bully seeking forgiveness
The film recovers from its weakest middle section to reach its emotional peak when Ben and Jamie finally confront their relationship dynamics and share a kiss.
Critics found Sweethearts to be a mixed effort that started promisingly but suffered from pacing issues and unfocused storytelling in its middle act. While many appreciated the subversion of romantic comedy tropes and the chemistry between Shipka and Hiraga, the film was criticized for spending too much time on side plots at the expense of developing its central relationship. The ending's affirmation of platonic friendship was generally well-received as a refreshing take on the genre.
