One of my all time favorites.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Lifetime does a lot of movies warning kids of what can happen if they aren't careful, and most of them present a realistic story that might actually happen that way. This movie isn't one of those. Still, the message is right and the story is interesting enough, even if it is totally unbelievable. Also, the acting and directing are decent enough. While I feel the father could have been just a little more devastated than he was presented, the portrayal was far better than the usual rabid angry dad most such movies would have. The main problem I have with the movie that I cannot believe the story presented would ever happen that way in real life.For parents: The subject matter is a gang rape ... enough said.Several issues I had with the plot:1) A girl pours gasoline over herself and lights a lighter, setting only her arm on fire. And, her ex-boyfriend tackles her and somehow puts out the fire without even a blanket? Gasoline is far more volatile than presented. Don't try this at home, kiddies.2) The girl is released from the hospital on some contrived-sounding explanation that her suicide attempt was some sort of temporary PTSD and the Doctors know it won't happen again? It sounds so made-up, it would have been far better if they simply didn't bother to explain.3) It is stated or implied that video evidence was posted to the internet, and somehow the culprits were able to retrieve it before the police could get a look at it or copies. Once it's out there, it's out there.4) The victim just happens to voice an objection which, by clipping the beginning and what comes after, can be made to look like she was consenting to be gang banged? I do not believe a girl confronted with that situation would say NO that way. It came across as a contrived piece of lazy writing.5) The culprits made video evidence? This was an absolute clear-cut case of gang rape, not some other form of sexual assault foolish high school kids might think was minor. Not one of the several perps objected to taking video of their crime?6) She screamed like a banshee. There were several people downstairs, and the music wasn't all that loud. Why didn't someone burst in on them?7) She was conscious through the entire event, and can remember none of it? Alcohol can cause some memory black-outs, but the whole thing? At no point did anyone say she was roofied. I don't recall the cops even checking? Date rape drugs remain in the hair until it grows out to the point it's cut away. We are talking a couple years the evidence would remain.

Forever predictable film where high school jocks go wild after a game and gang rape a high school cheerleader who had just broken up with her boyfriend.The girl was very much drunk when the crime was committed so who in heaven's name is going to believe her?The girl's widowed father seems to be sedate during this whole affair until there is definite proof of what has occurred.I know that we have technology and blogs to show what is occurring, and yet more and more of these tapes keep appearing throughout the film.Film proves that guys can't get whatever they want and that coincidentally the high school coach's sister is investigating the case and will not give her brother any slack for essentially claiming that young guys shall be young guys.

Dressed as a cheerleader, an attractive young woman walks tearfully onto a high school football field and sets herself on fire. Fortunately, she survives with only minor arm burns, thanks to handsome football player Pierson Fode (as Reed Johnson). In the hospital, we discover more about our heroine - specifically, cute 17-year-old Makenzie Vega (as Samantha "Sam" Gleason) reports being sexually assaulted by a football player. Later, "The Assault" allegedly involves more players. Kind and exceptionally sympathetic police detective Khandi Alexander (as Jodi Miller) is assigned the case. She views Ms. Vega as a brave young accuser, but realistically notes a prosecution will be difficult as Vega was drunk and doesn't recall the incident...If it were any more predictable, a video of the gang-rape would turn up and prove the victim's case; it's also possible a flashback could be employed. Writer Jennifer Maisel makes Vega more interesting with single father Gary Weeks (as Dan) and director Jason Winn adds hints that her childhood friend Amy Bruckner (as Frankie) may want a same-sex relationship - but neither really lifts the drama above ordinary. Malik Yoba (as Tim Miller) plays the conflicted coach and Christopher Foley aka Cristopher Knight Roberts (as Christopher "Chris" Burch) tackles the main villain role well; both have effective scenes with Ms. Alexander. Photographer Brian Crane favors intimate over-the-head-and-shoulder scenes and John Stimpson edits them nicely.***** The Assault (9/20/14) Jason Winn ~ Makenzie Vega, Khandi Alexander, Gary Weeks, Christopher Foley

This was one of the funniest films I've seen in a while. It had everything one would expect from and love about a Lifetime movie: lead actors who can barely emote, terrible dialogue that oftentimes makes no sense, a heavy handed message that they hit you with harder than a football player hits his wife, homoerotic and incestuous undertones, misunderstandings of technological innovations, and I could go on and on about the great features of this film. It starts with the lead character (let's call her Cheerleader, who can remember the names of these people?) setting herself on fire at a football game and it just gets better from there. At the hospital the doctor tells us she was "sexually assaulted" which we can all tell means she was brutally gangraped by the whole football team. Eventually Cheerleader becomes BFFs BleachBlondDyke and they start sleeping together and they work with HeroicBlackPolicewoman to solve the case and everybody lives happily ever after. And it ended with a blatant lie of a statistic which is always fun.
