a sad attempt at a knockoff of a story done so many times before

so... like many of these movies lately, this had PLL knockoff written all over it. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD TWO OF THE GIRLS ARE NAMED HANNAH AND ALLISON! anyhow, beyond that, I knew who truth&lies was about 5 minutes after we first met him... the only reason i kept watching was to discover his motive.

I knew that he was getting rid of everyone around her so that he would have her to himself and that he was faking receiving threats, (just like Mona... PLL) as soon as those stories arose. The way he kept pushing them to accuse Brandon was also quite telling. Honestly though, the whole movie was written in a very telling fashion... so...

anyhow, it was interesting because i sat and commented on how stupid the characters were being, but it was not thrilling or suspenseful... at least to me.

Yes, yes and yes. I laughed so much at the names use; Alison and Hannah .. Did you also notice Hannah's mom was sleeping around also? Like Hannah's mom in PLL lol

I will give it this. I never got the killer until late on. It was different enough to maintain my interest. So this formula can work. Good teen thriller.
