    Poor Storlyline , Poor Acting

    The plot here was , to be blunt, fairly silly and childish. How many times have we seen the same type of story , but executed badly here.

    I mean, Sharon the mother, lets be honest, is she that easily enticed? , and by a teenager ! It didnt seem to phase her at all that he was her sons's bestie ( or so he thought ). Most normal adult women do Not do that ! This is typical of the bad writing throughout this movie.

    The whole thing was just lame , and the ending? Big Sigh .................. Need I say more !

    Sinister Seduction

    Standard Lifetime fair. I did not see the appeal of Dylan. (Canadian Johnathan Taylor Thomas?)

    Could have been better with better actors

    If it wasn't for Tanner, this entire film should have been thrown out. The actress playing sharon is so so soooo terrible, she makes vacuuming seem more enjoyable than her performance. I honestly think this whole film would have been a lot better if there were more experienced actors. Tanner had to carry it out and with no support. He was the only one who didn't appear like he was reading his lines. As for the actress playing sharon, she should just quit... forever. She is emotionless, awkward, and completely unnatural. Teddy, he does this annoying thing with his hands and constant head turning. Even the bully could have used more work. Dylan did a descent job playing his role and can get you to believe him being this seductive villain. Other than that, they all suck.

    Poor casting

    Whoever cast the young man who looks around 12 years old for the villain of the film should be sacked. Poor acting throughout and at times uncomfortable and unrealistic to watch.

    Terrible plot using dreadful people who cannot be named "Actors"

    This is the worst film I have ever witnessed.

    Long dreary football school scenes lacking in any impact or sense.

    Why the word "Cruel" Stupid title. Stupid film.
