Seriously Annoying, Seriously Bad.
3 January 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

So the people that made this film obviously had all of the original reviews removed to make themselves look better, too bad I can just keep making reviews. The truth about this movie is that it had a good premise, all that it was missing were decent writing and actors. This movie starts out looking like a film student's first shot at a full length feature and leaves you wondering why you ever thought watching it was a good idea. The two main characters are just plain annoying and have little to no creative acting ability. I found myself thinking that if I wanted to be bickered at by my most annoying ex-girlfriend for a couple of hours, I could have just made a phone call instead of paying for the ticket to this movie.

I hate having to be this awful, but I have to say that Summer Bellessa has no business in front of a camera. She's pretty, but really, I don't see how anyone can listen to that voice without going brain dead. What really took the cake as far as my bad review goes were the actions and reactions in the last 25 minutes of the film. Any random moron off the street would have made better decisions than these main characters, that is what really shows that the writers just either phoned this in, or should not be writers.

In a nutshell, amateurish, poorly written, insufferably annoying, and poorly acted.
