Honor Student

Yet another in the unending flood of colossally terrible Canadian movies, a waste of thousands of feet of celluloid which might better have been used doing a documentary on clams or preserving the dental x-rays of all the prime ministers. The plot is stupid. It's worse than stupid. It's dumb. It's absurd. It's unrealistic. It's clichéd. It's moronic. And although they haven't ceded British Columbia to the United States yet again, as so many of these trashy tokens of Canadian content do, they sure have not set their ridiculous story in Canada. There was that one reference to "flying to Seattle" just to assure us all that this was good old American BS. The wimps who spliced this junk into a thoroughly dreadful movie --- one which should make all Canadians cringe in shame --- did not even have the guts to use the Canadian spelling HONOUR in the title. Why do we keep trying to make movies? Leave that to other more talented nations. Like Botswana. Maybe we can just make the popcorn. We make pretty good popcorn.

Watched this years back & again,a few days ago.. God the wife is annoying! I get we should hate the psycho student from prison,however anytime the wife entered a scene it became just about her.

I get her spouse wasn't perfect but,her expectations would of drove me anywhere beyond her.

It was a typical style Lifetime movie,full of clichés & plotholes that in a reality wouldn't happen.

It was cast ok.. Except for the wife,acting average but again,Lifetime!

At least unlike over the recent years they have people living in realistic homes,not huge mansions for their professions.

Don't understand why they had to not only kill but show chickens,that were to look dead it added nothing worthy of doing it.. Would of been just as compelling if the home got robbed or trashed,to make a point of revenge to the teacher/author.

Ok to watch,but not a masterpiece!

This suspense film looked good in the trailer so my husband and I watched it. For about 90% of the film, I would have rated it a 6. It is a typical female stalker type thriller and the stalker actress (the 'student') is pretty damn scary.

However, the ending of this film bumps this down to a dismal 2. I literally screamed at the TV. It's like the network or director decided to go for an upbeat ending at the last second, and changed the last two pages of the screenplay. Nothing that comes before makes the ending credible in any way. Horrible. Truly horrible. It would be like Fatal Attraction ending with the couple engaged in a happy polygamous relationship with the Glenn Close character after she'd killed their bunny and everything else.

No. Just no.

Teresa Smith is one of the inmates attending Nicholas Howarth's writing class. Nick draws out a story from her which turns out to be the murder she committed. He uses that story and writes a best selling book. Five years later, he's happily married to Lana. She's newly pregnant but reluctant to tell him the news. Then Teresa comes back into his life wanting recognition and half of the money for her story.

Nick is such a pathetic character that he makes it hard to sit through. Teresa is a good psycho character but there are so many issues. At least, Nick eventually goes to the sheriff about the ex con stalking him. It's almost salvaged until Teresa hits herself with the ketchup bottle. It is one of the silliest staged event. The movie cannot recover and then the story nosedives in one of the most ridiculous endings. Talk about writer's block. I've never seen it portrayed in that way although originality is no saving grace in this case. This is really bad.

Josie Loren is the cutest person I've seen. It's great watching and looking at her!! That's about all the good I saw in this mess. This is one of the dumbest movies that I've ever seen!! The law enforcement is the usual LMN dumb and couldn't find his rear with both hands. The whole thing goes from absurd to Twilight Zone absurd. The ending is really something from another planet and this isn't science fiction. I thought it would be good but was shown a different story that I thought especially when the law enforcement refused to do anything. I thought filing a complaint for harassment was sufficient in our current country of residence. Watch it if you want to see Josie Loren. She is pretty.
