    Started off good
    I had high hopes after the first third, a mean girl getting what she deserves and then the one who she wronged acts dumb and especially talking to a nosey cop who as a law student should know not to talk to them without an attorney. I feel bad for Alex though because Sara is a typical goody that was ruined but Alex helped in many ways. The ending is way too typical and annoying.
