No it isn't great, not even B category. It's your usual angsty teen flick where the characters are caricatures. Everybody possesses one personality trait that is inflated to absurdity; Wednesday always hates everything - wears all black, her roomie always loves everything- wears all white, there's an always stupid guy and an always angry bad girl etc. I cannot overemphasise just how bad is Wednesday of a main lead. She's boring and annoying, but most of all she is not interested in doing anything other then obnoxious stuff! She is always being dragged by everyone surrounding her to do at least something of importance. She does not "make" the story, it's the story who is begging her to do something interesting. The plot itself is a pile of stolen cliches and plot devices. We have a rip off from Harry Potter, previous Burton's movies and numerous Netflix teen comedy shows.

Tim Burton, what happened to you buddy? I still can recognise his familiar style but just barely. A pale echo of what he once been. Sad.
