    Worse movie ever

    Horrible movie about 17 year old highschool teenagers solving murder plot. Come on please. Teenagers always smarter than the Detectives incharge of the case. Right!!! Really far from reality LMN.

    Parents telling their daught you only made a mistake honey. Burglarized a school. Breaking into a locked drawn and planting a fake test. Get real LNM.

    This One's Baaaad

    Look. I understand Lifetime shows some cheeseball movies -- but this one is really bad. It looks bad. The acting is bad. The story is bad. Everything is just... Bad.

    I don't know if COVID affected the production, but it's clear this was not filmed in a real high school. Which is a problem when you're MAKING A MOVIE SET IN A HIGH SCHOOL! (Check out the scene that takes place in the "Principal's office" or the "Public library.")

    I hate to come on here with nothing positive to say about a movie, because making movies is just about the hardest thing on Earth next to brain surgery -- but this has nearly no redeeming value. Sorry.

    Who's killing the smartest high school seniors?

    This well-written movie tries to answer that and does so with a slow-boiler plot. Olivia and Victor both are vying for valedictorian along with 2 others. Olivia discovers that Victor wants to apply to a college that her parents went to. So, Sarah, Olivia's good friend, cooks up a scheme to start eliminating the competition for Olivia but why? You will have to tune in to find out. This movie really moves along at a comfortable pace and was quite enjoyable. Highly recommended.

    Woeful

    90mins of life I won't get back!

    When the girls stole the results from the School & got away with it, I thought, that is lame - but I'll persist.

    What a terrible premise for a movie. Seriously, why are production houses allowing these stories to be developed ?

    As I said, it's 90mins of life gone!
