I think the movie made the point that kids are under estimated. Personally all my life I felt like I was an 'old soul' because I was always more mature than others in my age group.
I can see how people see it as being "overrated" cause when ever you hear a big hype about something, it usually gets ruined for you. But to me, it's my favorite movie ever, from the cast to the soundtrack to the message.
I just strongly related to it because that was me in high school, that quirky awkward girl who liked 70's rock music and B rated horror movies (I still do). There's also a quote at the end about how "normalcy isn't their thing", same goes for me and my SO.
Plus, it's probably the most original "romantic comedy" I've seen in years.
