Bad Girl

Since I liked a lot of Samara Weaving's other stuff, I rented "Bad Girl".

The movie was kinda so-so, but the thing that killed it for me was Sara West's character, Amy, was genuinely unlikable. I really didn't feel any empathy or sympathy for her.

Part of the problem was there was no context to why anyone was the way they were. Worse, there was little explanation of the family unit, and you're trying to piece it together on top of figuring out the motives.

Why did they move? Because of a crazy house party? WHAT?!?! Why is mom so dead set on making this work? Why is dad so suspicious of Chloe's motives? Other than "rebel teen", what is the reason the main character is such a horrible person?

Then there was the attraction component that was all over the place. They could have made a real connection between the two, which would have made for a great realization/rejection moment, but again... nothing with meat to it.

Samara plays a good nutcase (well, she's adorable, too) so that kept me watching, but lack of depth to the story and the unlikable Amy killed it for me.

Was going to give it a 4 out of 10 but after typing this, I dropped it to 3.

If you're looking for Samara Weaving stuff, there's much better movies out there. If you're looking for an LGBTQ story, "Kiss me, Guido" is infinitely better than this. If you were looking for something barely mediocre that could have been decent, this is your movie.

Sure this movie is in many ways in line with an American made for TV movie. But this movie is different. Maybe it gave away it's secrets of who was bad and who was not a little too early but then that just made me hope that others in the movie found out as well. It kept my attention and entertained me well for a low grade movie. Worth the watch!

I don't even know where to begin. This is THE WORST movie i have ever watched, bad acting, HORRIBLE directing, predictable and cheesy. This is on a whole other level of awfulness. I'd be embarrassed to have been in this movie. Certainly embarrassed if i was the director! I mean who gave this guy a camera and said " Go shoot this movie" lol omg wow . I can't "unwatch" this. -_-

The movie seems all-over-the-place and forced in every way. Bad characterization, bad script, bad acting (except Samara Weaving).

This is one of those flicks you would not want to pay to see, but for free if you can't sleep one night and there are no commercial interruptions... maybe. Always hard to create horror comedy as this one clearly shows. Even so I was not kicking myself at the end for 1 1/2 hours totally wasted. Don't watch or refuse to watch because of an alleged "gay" angle. There is NO real angle to this, just somewhat tolerable entertainment. Mainly I just found myself enjoying Weaving, though there was nothing noteworthy about her character or performance. Is there anything great or even good in this entire endeavor? Not really, but I still found myself mildly entertained on a sleepless night at 3 am. Can't claim I was totally coherent, but not under the influence of anything other than natural grogginess.
