1/10 (could've been 0). Here's why:


The one positive thing I can say about NEW BEST FRIEND is that I didn't guess why and how college girl ALICIA CAMPBELL had an overdose until it was revealed. It works as a mystery in that sense, but not in the sense of making me care about the outcome before it's shown. Or after. The flashbacks aren't a study on how ALICIA went through the transition from good girl to bad girl, because that happens inmediately (so fast that it's not believable), and so the makers have nothing more to do than to show us repetitive party scenes. Meanwhile, the present scenes feel... obligatory. Like someone added them but didn't want to do it.
