"Men want a nice girl who's bad only with them... women want a bad boy who's nice only with them." One thing streaming movies you'd never otherwise be watching is that there are a large number of very talented, young actors out there you can then get an opportunity to see. Three of the leads in this film are in this category.. most notably Brittany Snow. When there's a short-list for an upcoming project, there's a very good chance she'll be on it. One criticism of the film... the only scene didn't get by well, was one of the more important ones. No way they don't get busted, with all the noise they were making in the next door bedroom. And one reviewer mentions, Caleb is just a 'good person' who happens to fall 'in love' with his brother's girlfriend. Sorry, just can't buy that one, good people don't continually sexually pursue the girlfriend of a sibling they purportedly love, just to have a one night stand (that ain't 'fallin in love'). Caleb acts more like a remorseless, self-centered jerk, with serious issues, that just can't get his life together, or keep it in his pants. And some reviewers were questioning where the ending leads. There is only one direction.. guilty as he is, she comes to realize a bit too late that her impulsive, self-destructive behavior has cost her dearly... and she departs knowing there's now only a dead-end future remaining with this problem riddled family. This is top notch film making, worthy of much greater recognition.. one of the better films of the year.
