BuzzFeed had a chat with these funny ladies, and here's why they think you should see their new movie:

1. It understands that you need to get back to your roots.

"It’s never too late to get back to your roots, and find the person you wanted to be," said Mamrie.

2. It'll make you laugh, like a good Valentine should.

3. Because this trailer will make you very pumped to watch the movie - kind of like flirting before going on a date. Y'know, visual foreplay*.

(*"Visual foreplay" may or may not be a thing.)

4. It'll get you exactly what you want, instead of a lame-o teddy bear.

5. You can eat AMAZING camp snacks during it.

Follow the movie's Tumblr and Twitter accounts to stay on top of other sweet treats.

(We've been told to watch out for tater tots in the film, so, maybe have those ready to go.)

6. Laughter from a date is the best gift of all. It's also the least riddled with STDs.

Mamrie said it "won't give you chlamydia," and you should probably believe her.

7. It's a way to spice up your relationship with other movies. Don't get stuck in a rut!

"(Because) you already wore out your 'She's All That' DVD," said Mamrie.

Bonus: watch the movie with Mamrie and Grace here, here and here.

8. Seeing true friendships on screen will inspire you to make true friendships off screen.

Some scenes were "very natural, like they're actually friends, or something," Mamrie said.

"And they were supernatural," said Hannah, "because we fly in them!"

9. HUGS.

10. You can tell this movie is beloved by its parents, which is a good sign.

"The entire cast and crew was so positive, and nice and pleasant," said Grace. "Long work days didn’t feel too long."

11. You already know a lot about it, so you feel comfortable jumping into this date.

Thanks to Grace's old behind-the-scenes vlogs, you can get a little bit of the secrets behind shooting the film.

But you should go follow her current channel instead.

12. You can bond over your shared fear of boom mics.

Bless behind-the-scenes footage.

13. It won't be afraid to make dirty jokes around you. It knows you can handle it.

14. BECAUSE JESSICA ALBA'S HUSBAND, CASH WARREN, LOVES IT.

15. Do you miss experiencing real human emotions and feelings? Because this film can give them back to you.

It gave the cast the chance to "connect like humans used to connect millions of years of ago," said Hannah. It was filmed in practically a real live desert, you guys, with basically zero cell reception. It was a "welcome break from Candy Crush," according to Mamrie.

16. And because we all could use a relationship from camp back in our lives.

Honestly, it's the "closest you'll get to an actual date" with any of these ladies, Mamrie said.

You can still pre-order the movie, check out the adorable care packages, and get ready for the best way to spend Valentine's Day: at camp!
