    Glossy and slick (and crass) as a TV commercial...

    Young girl 'innocently' ends up playing look-out while her boyfriend and his psychotic brother rob the jewelry store where the girl's mom works; after an employee is shot and killed, the girl feels the shame of guilt at being involved, but obstinately shuns her caring mother (who acts like this is abnormal behavior for a teenage girl!). The kind of hopeless, hapless TV-movie wherein everybody on-camera has been cast in the hopes of reminding viewers of somebody else. Nina Dobrev looks a lot like Vanessa Hudgens or a younger Katie Holmes, Steve Byers looks like a blond Keanu Reeves (and has apparently studied Reeves' patented tics), while Catherine Mary Stewart could be filling in for Hillary Swank. Product such as this is ground out for bored couch-potatoes, uninterested really in whether or not the picture is a good one as long as it keeps them awake. There's a sympathetic performance by likable Norman Mikeal Berketa (who looks a bit like Jeffrey Tambor), and the all's-well-that-ends-well conclusion is good for an unintentional laugh.

    Watch if you have a little time to waste

    For those of you familiar with the beautiful city of Ottawa, you will at least get to see some recognizable sites in this film. That is the highlight of this film for me as it was entirely predictable with mediocre acting. The character of the daughter is just downright irritating and annoying and viewers might just want to reach through their television screens and throttle her because of her stupidity. The only other redeeming quality of this film are the cameos by those outstanding Canadian actors, Sophie Gendron and Benz Antoine. As I have to add another two lines before this gets posted, I must say that I am probably being generous by giving this film 3 out of 10.

    For this kind of lifetime movie it's watchable thanks to Nina Dobrev

    A 17 year old girl inadvertently gets mixed up in a robbery planned by her boyfriend on the store her mother works in.

    This lifetime movie isn't ground breaking but it's surprisingly watchable thanks to a good cast and good dialog.

    Jennifer Grant as the mother is quite good.

    The lovely pre Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev takes a role that could have been annoying and makes her quite sympathetic especially when she does some irritating things.

    It has a lesson about consequences about having the wrong boyfriend. Listen to your Moms girls!

    Worth a watch.

    It's not only that it's bad; it's stupid

    The movie is all about the terrible female angst of the lead character, who was implicated in a robbery/homicide by her lowlife boyfriend. But if you ever watched a cop show in your life, you know that the moment she didn't get out of that car and run and call the cops, she was an accomplice. And every day that she continues to cover up her boyfriend's guilt, she is an accomplice after the fact. She's an amoral criminal and I don't see how anyone can possibly feel sorry for her or be concerned about her "plight." Legally she is as responsible for the murder as the guy who pulled the trigger.

    Anyway I'm sitting here watching it, so what's that say about me :-)

    Wtf ??

    Yet another of these 'movies' that leaves you really wondering - 'JUST HOW DO THESE PEOPLE (the 'film' makers !) CONTINUALLY FIND DUMB RICH PEOPLE TO BACK THEM ??' Silly little girl's boyfriend and his brother rob her mother's jewelry-store, KILLING a staff-member in the process - because the silly little-girl is so dumb she's left herself in the position where SHE could be charged with the murder. YET despite talking to their lawyer who advises BOTH mother and daughter to go to the police straight away, the silly little girl amazingly asks for 'time to think about it' - AND MUMMY AGREES ????? THAT'S the standard of this 'film' - made by people who seem to think the entire outside world is as dumb as them !
