The premise is a noble one, boy popular bullying unpopular boy. Popular boy gets into trouble. Unpopular boy is super responsible, in this case a talented cook, and good student. Popular boy gets suspended. Principal launches anti-bullying campaign. Popular boy will have shorter suspension if he helps unpopular boy. Yada Yada Yada. Although the characters are developed, the plot is shallow. There are a million and one inconsistencies and improbable scenarios that unfold. The theme of bullying turns into a PSA reminiscing the good old 80's and there 'Just Say No' egg crackling, brain on drugs commercials. Of course, in the end everything is fine. They're are no consequences for the wrong doers. But the boys are friends and that makes it OK, right? The only reason for the higher rating is because my 11yo daughter enjoyed it and extrapolated the intended lesson. Of course, she's not a bully, lol, she's a philanthropic girl scout. But she is empathetic and instantly aligned herself with the underdog in the story.
