Overall the story is good, and the plot is believable, but other than that it seems to have been produced by amateurs. Writing was horrible at best.
Acting is well, obviously pushed. Who played Lindsay's brother. Really? That's the best they could have done? And her mother? I am guessing she has zero acting history. Chemistry was not there.
But with a low budget you rarely get quality talent. In some of the scenes I don't think they even used a sound engineer. The echo and background noises are right there.
I wanted to write a better review, but just couldn't lie.
Dialogue was awful from the start. Sound editing was beyond bad – I don't know if it was mic placement but one moment you would hear the actress talking, and the next it was as though you were across the room.
Tack on the poor soundtrack and this one isn't just a no – it's a hell no. I've seen better dialog, mechanics and acting on the Disney channel.
I am sure that the filmmakers had good intentions here, but there's nothing worse than a rush job or a job done in an amateur fashion. That really seemed to be the case here.
The perfect inaugural movie for "Bad Movie Night". I gathered my film-making friends, opened the bar, and we enjoyed a fantastic evening mocking this terrible cinematic creation.
For a movie this bad, it's hard to know where to start. Plot holes large enough to drive a grip truck through, a lack of any recognizable acting ability, the substandard script, the redundant (borderline obnoxious) soundtrack, the under-mixed audio, the typo-ridden credits… the list is long. Truly awful. And there were no bonus features on the DVD – I was at least hoping for a director's commentary to laugh at, as well!
As one of my friends said: "I laughed, I cried, I want my money back." And it was a free screening.
to the girl from Canada… it was made in Minnesota.. that is also where the actors are mostly all from.
The reason the movie is such bad quality is because it was made by a bored millionaire who literally woke up one morning and thought "i think ill make a movie" while i agree the movie was done badly.. some of the actors could actually act… it is just the fact that the ones around them couldn't which made them look bad. And the quality of the movie itself did not help either. Obviously the main girl could not act but Alex and Samantha acted their parts out very well. It is just unfortunate for both of them that their names will always be tied to this film
