Adopted

Ignore the naysayers completely.

This was hilariously fluffy all the way, while the tyrannical psychotic little kid delivered in Spades.

Sweet as apple pie on the outside...and an utterly rotten apple inside.

This was well plotted and paced and the shocks and hits just keep coming one after another, and those on the naive clueless delivery end step into it all very nicely so to speak for this kind of film.

Think of a Chucky in the flesh who is cuter, funnier, far more charming...and who is certainly as self-centered and chillingly ruthless. Again, ignore the naysayers... If you like these kind of films, then this is one you'll certainly remember.

The kid nailed it...

OK, from the outset, it was clear that this was a low-budget, indie pic, so I watched with grace to see what the end product would be. The plot is clearly not original--which is OK. The premise and backstory were clear from the outset, although I'm not sure making the adopted child's backstory so blatant in the very beginning hurt or helped. The script was OK, better than the acting. The acting...? Well, this is, as mentioned, an obviously low-budget project, so I won't comment beyond that. The pacing was fine. The direction was...well, everything about a film is ultimately the responsibility of the director. I appreciate the director's commitment to this film. The film's score wasn't bad. Everything mentioned thus far can be forgiven and even appreciated in a way. But the ENDING...many-a-film has been totally destroyed by its ending. And the last two or three minutes of ADOPTED falls into this category. The decision made by a key character at that point was entire moronic and served only to setup the entirely unsatisfactory finish, that's it. It otherwise made no sense whatsoever and insulted the intelligence of the viewer.

Kudos to Jayden Aguirre, who played Dylan. He managed a performance that was truly chilling at some points. Better direction would have helped at point where he didn't deliver.

I have a fondness for low-budget indie films. I watch a lot of them, in fact. ADOPTED, I can gladly say, is not on my list of worst films. And I can truly appreciate the effort behind it.

This is the worst movie of 2024. I am not kidding. Drew Sidora must be desperate for roles. This was terrible. More people need to start telling the truth about Tubi movies. Bad acting is unacceptable.

Speaking of bad acting. This movie has alot of it. The adopted boy could not act to save his life. No type of range. Just the same preppy, cringe tone. Drew Sidora also sounded preppy and cringe with no range. The adopted girl could not act worth one red penny.

The plot also was comical. A little boy goes around killing people and getting away with it. That doesn't make sense. He's a kid. Not a trained assassin.

Do not waste your time with this movie. Unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. This is terrible.

This movie is a joke.. but the only problem is it's not supposed to be!

The Good Son meets Chucky, meets Orphan... lol...

The ENTIRE plot is pretty much given away in the trailer.. though it is so formulaic and predictable you would've guessed it anyways!

Its only redeeming quality is that the production value is actually not bad for a movie likely filmed on an iPhone. The acting, is INCREDIBLY bad, especially that little kid, who is easily the worst child actor I've ever seen in a movie! I have seen scraped together YouTube movies that have more of an interesting plot and better acting than this movie. I even noticed they use YouTube devices like the BOOM sound effect when someone says something "dramatic".

It is actually entertaining in a way... In that you're laughing continually at just how bad this movie is!

This movie was'nt all that bad .But the acting was terrible and the dialogue was cheesy. For starters the parents that adopted the young boy in this film were so corny i could'nt wait for the little boy to off them myself . Plus it seemed a bit unrealistic the main character whose supposed to be 10 years old is a calculating psycopathic killer and a crack shot with a hand gun. Especially the part where he shoots his original parents both between the eyes and then burns down the house in broad daylight ? What nobody in the area saw that ? A bit hard to believe. My hats of to the main character playing the child psycopath character Jayden Aguirre . I actually gave it 3 stars because i liked the scenery the California sunshine and all that.
