Bad Influence

Blood is thicker than water - is that just a pun/cliche or something that holds true most of the time? When it comes to movies, you should at least expect some cliches of course. Like you get here - but very well played by those involved. Well played as good as one can expect for a movie of this "magnitude".

Take this with a grain of salt, suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the ride if you can. Because this is as predictable as it gets. With over the top twists to add to the flavor. Except maybe the ending - there is something sinister in there ... or maybe not - maybe you feel differently about it, having looked it in the eye (sorry for the pun)

A dumb premise. No real explanation for the main character's behavior. The third act really comes off the rails in the most ridiculous of ways. Wouldn't recommend.

I don't know the name of it but the song was so good. Can someone please put the name of the song that the girl was singing? It would be so helpful please.

Title tells it. A teenager becomes influenced to behave negatively towards her mother due to a new friend in her new school. The single mother takes notice of this change in her benevolent daughter and investigates this new girl that has aggressively befriended her and what she discovers shocks her to the core.

The script is not the best and the acting falls easily into a Hallmark show.. I personally am always happy to see Jeannie Garth in things. She always commits and it shows. She is easily the best in the character department, however, there isn't a lot given to work with, depth wise. It is an easy watch and perhaps if you've teenagers that are easily swayed by others to behave foolishly, this movie will serve as a "see what can happen if you do not think for yourself?" and " Bad company corrupts good morals".

The daughter Lily has the most random outbursts and gets mad at the dumbest things. She needs therapy to be honest.

This movie is ok. It's the best and certainly not the worst. You can get through it.
