It would be wrong for me to say I really disliked this movie. Yes, the acting was weak, and the characters seemed painfully flat at times(Evie's self-ascertaining speeches were terrible-it reminded me of teenage Shakespeare readings, only with worst dialogue), but the movie never really gave you anything to hate. It was a flick, and as a flick it did its job fine.
Some parts of the film were just outrageous; Evie's friends were so stereotypical that, unfortunately, they weren't even believable as real people. Defining supportive characters as stereotypes can work really nicely sometimes, but I think the directors in this movie went a little overboard. Either that, or the weak acting failed to portray the characters effectively. It's a toss up, I guess.
Now, don't get me wrong. Like I said above, it's a great 'flick'. I couldn't relate to the characters at all, and the relationship between the two girls seemed so unrealistic at times.
If you're bored and curious, then please, go ahead and watch this film. It's cute and simple, and sometimes that's a nice escape from other more serious films.
