Kids were good.. but plot was unrealistic
21 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This movie had the potential to be a really good film. The kids who played Phoebe, Jamie and Phoebe's sister were very good. The basic plot line was good. However, there was so much about this film that was unrealistic. First of all, In the film, (here is the spoiler) Phoebe is diagnosed with Tourettes and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). However, Phoebe has halucinations, depression and even jumps off of an upper part of the stage to follow her imaginary friend. These all cannot be explained, and therefore fixed, by exclaiming that Phoebe has Tourettes. Also, the way the school was handled was unrealistic. What school leaves a group of 10 and 11 year old students alone in a play rehearsal as they go to fire the teacher? What teacher allows students to call another student a killer in the middle of their class? What school allows students (multiple students) to hang out on their roof? There was way too much that was so out-of-the-box unrealistic.
