Jackson is the centerpiece, and physically, he fits the brand’s mold: athletic, boy-next-door, with an easy smile. However, “getting by” feels like an apt description of his performance. He’s enthusiastic but tentative, often looking to off-screen direction for cues. For a title that promises him “getting by” (interpreted here as taking the lead), he spends much of the runtime reacting rather than driving the action. Fans looking for a dominant breakout will be disappointed; those who prefer a shy, earnest newcomer will find him endearing.
As is standard for the studio, the lighting and camera work are polished, emphasizing the physical contrast between the two leads.
