The casting in this movie is awful, the "teen" stalker looks older then the mom in this movie. The acting is wooden and the casting is comical.

How did they so badly miscast this movie? If you can get past the subpar acting from Ashley Rickards (Mallory), and the predictable storyline, you'll end up unable to get past the bad casting. Parker Mack (Mark) and Ashley are obviously in their 20's even though it's made clear in the movie that Mark is 17 (turning 18). This fact makes some of the conflict in the film (underage drinking, sexual hookups and moving out) laughable as these legal aged actors fail to convince anyone that Mom can still ground them from their video games and hangouts.

Ashley is awesome in everything she does, and while she looked young enough to play an 18 year-old, everyone kind of already knows she was about 25 when this was filmed. Then we have the woman who played the mom and she was 35 per the actress's actual age upon filming, so what, she had this boy at 16 or 17 and then somehow finished high school and college and became a famous author? Ashley Rickards is only 9 or 10 years younger than Nicky Whelan. So they looked like a very odd group in this movie. All the actors were pretty unknown - except Rickards - which leads me to believe that they cast it then decided to try and get an actual star for this. The acting was not horrible, it's the way it was shot and produced that makes it Lifetime Movie Nightmare. It's also after all is said and done after a showdown...with everyone giggling? I don't want to give any spoilers but it's the worst writing ever because it's absurdly predictable - unless you're 12. I really hope they paid Rickards a lot to put herself into this movie because this is the kind of stuff that ruins careers. She's way better than this.

Everything about this movie was so bad I couldn't believe what I was watching. The nonsensical plot, disjointed story and acting so wooden it seemed like the actors were reading from cue cards. It's hard to believe from watching this that Ashley Rickards starred in a successful TV series. I gave it the second star for the 'so bad I can't look away factor' which I found oddly entertaining!

Boy, Netflix was really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they acquired this independently made movie. Where does it go wrong? Well, to put it bluntly, in every way you can think of. For starters, it makes the remarkable accomplishment of managing to badly miscast every key character, not just with teenage characters that are obviously played by actors who are in their late 20s (or possibly older.) But even if the movie had a cast made up of more convincing and capable actors, those actors wouldn't be able to do anything with a remarkably dumb story (with even more moronic characters) that moves slower than the pace of a snail. The really low production values (which for a time had me convinced this was a Canadian production) just add to the challenge of trying to sit through the entire movie. In the end, this is a thriller without any thrills at all.

Why do they cast. 26 year old as a teenager? Only the beginning of a long list of bad.

I looked at the reviews before watching this movie, and I was like. Hmm I wanne see what the problem is while I look for another movie on my phone. After about 15 min I stopped trying to find another movie, and just saw this instead. I kept thing it's just gonna end with no ending, why else would people hate it so mutch? But it didn't. I'll admit some of the actors are not the best ever, but it's fine. I enjoyed the movie:)

I realize this is a B movie to begin with but the casting of actors who are all the same age is ridiculous. The casting director is blind perhaps?

Very weird movie where it seems the parents and children are all the same age. Casting ages is only the first problem. Acting ability, or lack there of is the second problem. Script. Problem.

It's been so long since I have seen such a bad movie not only was the acting mediocre but the storyline itself was absolutely ridiculous cliched and done to absolute death I just don't understand how this ever got produced

I'm not sure about the story for this piece of trash because my wife and I could only stomach the first 15mins of this high school play being filmed. I won't tell you not to watch this because everyone should have an equal opportunity to experience this level of boredom in a movie!

Bad acting + bad script + bad direction = this garbage.

A writer of inspirational thinking books finds herself and her family the target of a stalker. The pretty little stalker looks a bit mature for high school but nevertheless seduces the writer's tennis player boy. Nicky Whelan is watchable and the cast is quite good. Some of the dialog is a bit awkward and obvious too many jump cuts. Okay for this kind of movie.

What may sound interesting in the description is NOT what you get with the film. I must say, I have never seen a movie from Gravitas Ventures that had decent acting, good audio or even a watchable story/plot.

I CANT RAVE ENOUGH ABOUT THIS MOVIE. The actors dedication to sucking at their roles was astounding. The facial expressions, Top tier. The dramatic plot twists. Couldnt give. Hot Shirtless actors. Drones. Amazing camera work. Really proud of the casting directors. SO often in Hollywood they favor younger women actresses, however we see here they cast all different ages for their cast. Really beautiful.

Ps. If you want a good Drinking game Take a shot every time Malory touches her hair.

Well thats 15 mins I'll never get back. Bad acting, worse story. The women are mutton dressed up as lamb...botoxed up the wazzoo and put in parts where they're obviously a lot older than the parts they play. Don't waste your time!
