Good writing but bad acting.


The writing was good for a tv movie but the acting was awful.

i came on here to say the exact same thing. I haven't seen such horrible acting since my little brothers 3rd grade play.....and even THAT play was better

bad bad bad acting. it ruined the movie for me. I can't pick one actor/actress that did a good job

Alexandra Paul - BAD!

Greg's MOM - The worst!

Greg - eh....they couldn't of found a better looking dude?

Carly - nothing special

Lexi - mediocre

Carly's dad - hated him. horrible horrible

Jared - forced and not believable

Shane - The only actor i'll give a somewhat positive compliment. He outshined the cast but wasn't stellar by any means

The acting was great! Were you watching the same movie?

Contrary to popular opinion, the writing was formulaic, flat and unimaginative, and the actors were doing what they could with the emotionless source material.

Lol, I agree with you. The writing was so flat that it made their acting look even worse than what it could've been.
I think the brother did okay, the mom did good, the killed sister and her boyfriend did okay with what they had.
Everyone else seemed very bad, especially the boyfriends mom, so emotionless and cold, she almost reminded me of a robot.

I thought the acting was just fine.

Well I always thought Alexandra Paul deserved an Oscar or two (Christine, Dragnet). lol

The acting AND writing was terrible.

Sorry but the writing was worse than the acting.
