During the summer before college, Auden meets the mysterious Eli, a fellow insomniac. While the seaside town of Colby sleeps, the two embark on nightly quests to help Auden experience the fun, carefree life she never knew she wanted. “Along for the Ride” isn’t a great movie. Nor is it a particularly memorable one. But as far as disposable Netflix teen romances go, it’s better than it needs to be.

Along for the Ride ends with Auden reading a postcard from Eli. He tells Auden not to let their quest end just because she has college homework. Maggie teases her for reading the card for the hundredth time. Auden smiles, and they leave their shared dorm room together.
