Made-for-TV movies have somehow managed to get even worse.
Also, to the reviewer who compared this to reality TV shows, and used them as a reason as to why this isn't too bad ... how can you compare two completely different things?
Do not use your disdain for reality television to defend this cliched trainwreck.
This movie Jumped the Shark for me when the stepmom's sister shows up at the funeral. To show that she is "wacky", they start playing oddly out-of-place bouncing-ball music reserved for comedic effect. The whole tone of the movie was altered, and any tension that was building up was destroyed.
shareagree. she should have brought an appetizer or something.

I have to agree. The scene with the teen who wasnt breathing was just horrid. No one seemed to be paying him attention. Then he starts yelling to come here, gather round, that whole scene was weird.
Then when the stupid father was acting as if he was really doing something by grounding her, I just had to laugh. Same scene he lets her babysit his step daughter. Next scene he's telling his wife tHat his daughter was put in the nut house. To which the wife didnt seem worried for her own child, KNOWING that this teenager resented them. Just a stupid movie all around.
Yeah that scene was stupid. Haha. The kid seemed to yell out like 6 times "help, he's not breathing, call 911!" before anybody around even reacted to it. Like really?
shareI came into the story about halfway through, watched about 20 minutes of it, and gave up. The writing was terrible and the acting even worse. I should've known better than to bother trying another stupid "Lifetime" movie, but occasionally they do surprise us with something halfway good. This stupid thing, however, was not one of those. I had better things to do with my time than waste it finishing this dumb movie.

What did you do instead
shareEverything about this movie screams "Trying to hard" they tried to put everthing in this movie. The emo/goth voodoo witch chic, the I'm prettier than you model jetset drunk sister, raves. It was just a hot mess of stuff thrown against the wall let's see what sticks. First the stepmom and that wonky eye of hers distracted me, the sister that overplayed the drunk plus she has an accent she tries to cover. The nerd boyfriend that let this chic put him in a vest and tie a scarf around his head looking like he walked into the wrong movie set. That 70's show or Brady remake is 2 sound stages over. And the made fun of model dude looked more J Crew model ad than ever going for a goth chic that talks like her jaws are wired.
