Sick Girl

How do you take a controversial idea & then produce a heartwarming story of self discovery. Answer you hire Nina Dobrev to play the lead. From a desperate lie, guilt ridden Wren successfully rekindles friendships from years long past. While I enjoyed the film you are left feeling it could have been so much more. More meat on the bone was required to understand why these friendships were so important. Yet it's still fun & at times extremely awkward. What we are ultimately left with is a classic story of redemption. I guess we can all relate at some level. Supporting cast all did a good job with limited material. Sick Girl could have been terminal but Dobrev's charm never fails to draw you in. I guess she always has the cure. Still waiting to see her in a role worthy of her extensive talents. 7/10.
