Characters were underdeveloped, the climactic point wasn't developed enough either. It just left me hanging at the end. If the movie had been given more time, it could have been truly excellent, but there were too many characters who had conflicts/things to settle with the main character, Pearl. These never got resolved at the end. At the end I was thinking, "What about the struggle with this person? The issue this person has?" Well, you don't get to know what happens to them. So although the movie could have been great, there was about a half hour or more that seems to have been cut off at the end. The movie does draw an important point: Americans are greatly spoiled, and Pearl was a great example of this. Maybe the writer was thinking in that same spoiled mind frame, not taking to account what happens to the other characters. Hence, I give it five stars for some good parts, but really that made it all the more disappointing when a couple of main characters/issues were, for lack of better wording, just thrown out the window.

I'm sorry but the writing is just not good. I think the acting would even be much better if these people had a good script. These actors may be of less experience, but I think they probably know the difference between a good dialogue and an unrealistic bad one. Just poorly done...for the first ten minutes, which is all I saw but that was more than enough to see this isn't worth watching. That's just me, though. See for yourself.

...but the writing was poor, the acting needed some serious improvements, and it was overall hard to watch without cracking jokes.
