Like the film " Love, Simon ", "Alex Strangelove" focuses the lens on high school life in the 21st century, but the film is refreshing for the audience. The high school students in the film are like real high school students. Some people smoke, drink or even abuse. They are not the "good students" who only live in the movie world in "Love, Simon". The film’s director, Craig Johnson, precisely controls the rhythm of teenage comedy movies
. His personal style adds a whimsical feel to the John Hughes -style comedy formula. The film is full of jokes and various romantic misunderstandings. Accompanied by retro music
, it brings the joy of youth to the audience
. The film is a film about seriously thinking about "who I am", and a self-identity film that is both sweet and painful
.

Elliot: And the shitty thing is, guys like my dad, they're giving Jesus a bad name, okay? Because from all that I know, Jesus was amazing. I mean, I don't know, he helped out the poor and sick, okay, he loves you unconditionally...
[Alex says yes with his head]
Elliot: I just think all those kids with their WWJD wristbands need to ask themselves: What would Jesus actually do? Call me a "faggot loser"?
Alex: Did your dad call you that?
Elliot: It's not really worth getting into.
