Addison Rae, best known for her dancing and variety of content on TikTok, has been working towards becoming a triple threat. Her version of dances piloted her onto The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and she released an EP titled Obsessed.

The poster and theatrical trailer for the film have been circulating online, and are being criticized by netizens. Both the trailer and movie poster have been shared on Instagram by user defnoodles and have received a total of 540 likes at the time of writing.

One user stated:

"HARD PASS."

Another user commented:

"It's Addison Rae... it won't live up to the original, the original is a classic."

The negative comments on the poster outweighed the few excited to see the movie when it is released.
