Sadly Over-hyped

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I am not a movie person other then I watch them and my girls liked and I thought it was well worth the $5.00 at Walmart, bought worst for more money.It was kid friendly with no bad language or inappropriate scenes. Sure was a green a lush state they filmed it in and actually great to see kids that are more normal in personality and looks.I thought some of the kid actors looked familiar and thats why I came on IMDb so we could find other movies with them but this most of been the only movie they were in.Oh another thing we really liked the music but cant seem to find it any where which is a shame so if anyone does know it would be great to share it.

Okay, YES the acting is horrible, for a movie, in fact, this is definitely the worst acting I've seen in a movie. But the acting isn't horrible all around. I felt like I was watching a bootlegged recording of a stage presentation. I got the feeling that this would have made a really good play and the actors were probably all stage actors or drama students. There's a difference, stage actors tend to over act in order to add a little flair to the stage, movies don't need that extra umph because they have production budgets that fill in the holes.However, since the budget on this movie was so low, it's understandable why it turned out this way. I wouldn't say it's a horrible movie, the story line is decent if you can get past the acting, just don't be prepared to expect too much.

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

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.
