As soon as the opening scene began, you could tell this was a low-budget film solely based on the design and cinematography. That's before a single character was even introduced. And then they introduced the characters and it somehow got even worse.
The attempt to not only develop but even introduce characters for the film were cliche at best. At worst, some of the actors couldn't even decide who they wanted to be. The step-son, supposedly from California, dresses like a member of a biker gang with a leather jacket and bandana. His personality, however, depicted by the movie, is that he is a ganster-like gang member who talks in urban black-culture lingo. And then the actor's actual voice is very hick-like, which contradicts the entire premise that he is a California kid moving to a small, gumpy town. All of this was apparently not important in casting...? This is just one example.
The overall acting is what makes it the worst movie I've ever seen. I can't really put it into words, so just please take my word for it. There is no attempt at any dialogue flow or scene transition. The adult actors might even be worse than the kids.
I'm assuming a lot of the reviews for this film were done by members of the staff, because no sane viewer would give this more than a 3 star rating. Ignore the reviews of how great and inspiring this film is for young viewers. It has profanity and verbal abuse throughout. There are thousands of better options for your kids.
Please, for the love the God, don't watch this attempt at a movie.
