Critics' Reviews

In writer/director Adam MacDonald’s movie adaptation, a group of high-school-aged survivors takes a break from an ongoing zombie outbreak with a game of Never Have I Ever. The players dutifully take a drink whenever they have previously experienced one of the suggested prompts. It’s a tidy, but lifeless exercise in post-“The Breakfast Club” style adolescent solidarity, so of course it ends with the characters all sitting quietly once the prompt becomes, “Never have I ever been in love.” This encapsulates the film’s attempt to blend teen drama with zombie horror but ultimately highlights its lackluster execution.

Sloane
Olivia Holt played a pivotal role in the movie 'This Is Not a Test,' bringing a fresh and compelling energy to her character that resonated well with audiences. Her performance was praised for its authenticity and emotional depth, setting her apart from others in similar roles. What made her portrayal unique was her ability to balance the film's intense, dramatic moments with a surprising layer of vulnerability, which added richness to the storyline. A lesser-known fact about her involvement is that she performed many of her own stunts, including a challenging rooftop scene that the crew described as quite dangerous but executed flawlessly by Holt, showcasing her dedication and fearlessness on set.
