Terrible


There were so many things wrong about this movie. It was like an itchy sweater I couldn't take off. (Yes, I could've turned it off, but I wanted to give it a chance...& wasted nearly 2 hours of my life. It was a snow day.) And it's a shame, because these are good actors. Though the premise of the film is admirable, the script is mediocre & the direction isn't great. There's a laundry list of issues I have with this terrible mess, but I don't care enough about it to go into detail. I don't have serious hate, but merely frustration/annoyance, so those on these boards who are showing hardcore venom, relax. It's a crappy movie, not the end of the world. And those creepy people who find a baby-faced teenaged girl putting on her underwear remotely sexy/hot...it's just gross. Stop, really.

And then I ask the question, "A Girl In Progress to accomplish what"? I saw one scene and read the the Wikipedia synopsis then saw the last 15 minutes. The mom is in a relationship w/a married guy (Modine) and believes he's the guy for her. She's wrong and mom has a 14 yr old daughter that needs attention. As a subplot the daughter is asked to write a paper on coming of age. The music and movie were very dry and in need of something to give it a boost. That boost happened when the mom and daughter board a bus and the movie ends.
