Tripe, terrible tripe., 4 February 2006
1/10
Author: Madam Bomb from New York, New York USA

Despite it's good intentions this movie is completely pat. It's writing is absolutely obvious, and the "surprises" are utterly tragic attempts for moral or social or cultural redemption or something, or nothing.

It's just a piece of . . .

The writing at times devolves into such cliché that it is almost unbelievable that the actors could say such lines with straight faces. The actors, by the way, are the best part of it all, poor things. My heart goes out to them for having to suffer through the dialogue. They should be given awards for making this "After School Special Movie of the Week" seem life-like. Sadly in the end it just doesn't work, it's dead on arrival. Avoid this one at all costs.
