Synopsis:

"How to Lose a Popularity Contest" (2026) is a romantic comedy directed by Stephen S. Campanelli, premiering on Tubi on January 16, 2026. The film tells the story of two unlikely high school students, Nate Reed, a rebellious student, and Ellie Pearson, a perfectionist, who team up to make Nate the student council president. They form an unexpected alliance and discover unexpected feelings along the way.

Reviews of the film are scarce, but based on the trailer, it seems like a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy. If you enjoy films like "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" or "The Duff", you might enjoy this one!

This film stars: Sara Waisglass, Chase Hudson (Huddy), Graham Verchere, Lillian Doucet-Roche and more.

In my opinion:

Perhaps one of my favorite romance dramas is the one with a teenage romance theme. Yeah, for me, the rebellious and carefree teenage vibe is more appealing than the stiff adult romance life (Just my opinion).

The storyline of this film is not stereotypical of typical teenage love stories, where someone tries to get the attention of their crush, only to realize the love was right in front of them all along.

I love the character development of Nate and Ellie, where Ellie discovers Nate's natural talent, who's handsome and cool but known as 'dumb' and rough. And, as fate would have it, Nate also makes Ellie realize that the world isn't as rigid as she thought.

So, it's a story with a clear direction and enjoyable to follow. Without excessive interference, the main characters come to realize their mistakes. I'm sure those who watch it will be curious about the ending. Hence, I won't give too many spoilers.

In terms of visuals and cinematography, it's good. The audio, soundtrack-wise, is great to my ears. I feel it fits the film well.

A sweet film. Congratulations!

For me this one is 7.5/10.
