User Review

Disappointed

Rating: 1/10


I was 100% disappointed with this movie. I am usually a fan of the
cheesy girlie movies, and Hilary Duff. Unfortunately the acting in this
movie was not there. It seemed more like a movie done between the Duff
sisters for fun. You could tell they were acting, not very believable.
I'm one of the people who don't normally notice these things too! The
plot wasn't that unique and it was so short with nothing really
happening, and it was predictable. Yuck! I'm sure they had fun making
it, but I didn't have fun watching it. And I don't think anyone else in
the theater did either, instead when it FINALLY ended everyone just
kinda hurried out of their in silence (nothing good to talk about). See
it yourself if you want to, I'm just trying to save you your time.
