The Hazing Secret

While the theme of hazing is extremely serious and problematic in the college environment, this movie missed the entire mark. They really had an opportunity to take the subject matter and expose it in a meaningful way. Instead, this movie was unbearable to watch. I've seen high school plays that had better acting than this movie. The plot was jumbled and some of the characters were not well casted. It was worse than a bad B movie! Watching the movie you lose brain cells because it's that much of an insult on the intelligence. Don't waste your time... I turned it off before it could finish! Glad it was on cable and I could just turn the channel.

After a hazing thing gone wrong a girl suffers from that condition where she loses her memory every night after going to sleep. The short term memory thing has been done better in other movies. At a reunion she starts to piece together what happened.

The acting is sub par even for this kind of movie. I don't understand why Shanae Grimes acted the same throughout the movie. I blame the director she could have acted scared without whimpering constantly. She acts alright on 90210. Keegan Allen of Pretty Little Liars is unconvincing as a psychiatrist and delivers his lines woodenly.

The little twists and turns of the plot and the half baked red herrings are so silly I don't care what happens by the end.

This is the worst I have ever seen on LMN. The film is plain stupid and just plain awful. On top of that the actors are terrible. The leading lady goes around whining and screaming and crying all the way through. She is just plain stupid in what she does, says and whines about. I'm not even going to mention names here in respect of the good actors that would have done so much better.

This leading lady was so bad, I had to turn the sound off for most of her scenes as I got a headache hearing her whine all the way through. Her acting runs from A - B. And that's being kind. It's like a bad teeny-bopper gone rotten in it's delivery.

Nothing made sense as we just lose interest from the get-go because of the bad casting, bad script and bad directing. Three strikes in my thinking is you are out and out the film must go to the dumpster.

The story of a female having to play videos to herself because of a short term memory issue seems to resonate a lot with a 2004 film (50 first dates), add some subpar acting and a casting that just really missed the nail on the head and you have this telefilm.

The male playing the psychiatrist just didn't look the part, feel the part and delivered lines as if he were reading an instruction manual.

The main role was decent but I wouldn't be adding this to her acting reel if I were her. The continuous whining and pity party gets old really fast.

Overall, 3 starts for a 3 star production.

Shenae Grimes did a superb job in this movie showing her emotions. I especially liked it when she became so frustrated that she shouted out, "Why is this happening to me?"
