You are apparently not an 11 year old girl, LOL. I liked it alright, but my kiddo loved it.
It has its charms, including some very catchy tunes, it hits on a subculture (or two or three) that's becoming increasingly prominent in the west, and it checks a lot of the right boxes for broad popularity, including being kinda light and accessible. Many of the storytelling weaknesses (which you are absolutely right about) are also perfectly set up as loose ends to tie up when making a franchise, which I'm sure they'll now do.
Oh, I'm aware of the irony of reviewing this as an adult male, haha.
