Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
SnoopyStyle Abigail Grey (Quinn Shephard) reluctantly goes back to school after some troubles. She is bullied by mean cheerleader Jennifer (Trieste Kelly Dunn) and her group. They call her Sybil and slut. New drama teacher Jeremy Woods (Chris Messina) assigns the Arthur Miller play 'The Crucible' to the class. He notices the bullying and gives an important role to Abigail relegating Jennifer as the understudy.This starts with a bit of Heather. It's going on a predictable but still compelling path. Then it goes away from the path. First, there is the classroom scene where Abigail turns the table on Jennifer. It leaves Abigail as an unreliable character. It would work if it fully commits but it simply left me questioning her with no resolution. Next is the journal entry. I would think any girl would take a picture with her phone. The rumor could spread and the plot moves forward. Instead, that plot sorta stalls until the climax. Also the climax introduces something which is left hanging. Overall, there is a lot of interesting work from young new filmmaker Quinn Shephard but it's not quite sharp enough with too many loose threads and not enough payoff.
Aktham Tashtush The story is just not connected ,, the script is scattered all over , i believe it was a total waste of one and a half hour.The story is repetitive and not has one single element of originality, and the screenplay was not engaging at all.As for the cast , i really love Chris Messina back from The Mindy Project, but now he was like WTH !!! , the other girls were over-acting so you can easily see through the whole scene.Final thought, Just don't watch it , 3 stars for effort i think.
igbogirl27 I'm annoyed that I sat through this movie with no real pay off at the end. The story was very slow moving and extremely boring. I knew 30 minutes in that it was a boring mess but still kept watching with hopes that it may change but it did not. All three characters are irritating and one dimensional and the teacher is an idiot. There's nothing complex about them nor particularly interesting. This felt like a Lifetime Movie. Very forgettable film.
ivsteal The trailer is extremely misleading first off (.) Had this film been presented in the way it should have, it would have had a better review. Yes it's a slow burn, yes it's a coming of age film, but the content is so much more. In a digital age we are all guilty of looking for instant gratification and scandal. We sometimes forget life it's self is messy. Every love ballot or tragedy was not written by Shakespeare rather a real person desperately trying to navigate the muddy waters the surround us all.
