alysamulonee this could of been a good movie, but the acting was not the most convincing, and the fact they added sound affects after it was recorded was ridiculous. didn't even fit the movements on some parts. fallen's mom was a high maintanance mom/wife that obviously didn't want to be bothered by anyone. when she walked in late at night to find her daughter sitting in a dark kitchen, you would think she would of questioned what was wrong but nope, was more worried about getting sleep with her snoring husband away on a business trip. they also messed up when fallen was fighting dory, she had the hair clip in her hair, but then it was gone, then back, but it was later found in bianca's car. the whole plot is predictable, and most of the movie is ridiculous. acting is somewhat OK, and the ending is horrible.
sneedsnood This very familiar story may have been inspired by several real life crimes, cobbled together for this predictable exercise. Three teenage girls, led by a bully, gang up against a fourth girl and inadvertently kill her while trying to "teach her a lesson". Among the remaining three, mostly-innocent Bianca is also conveniently mostly-at-odds with her single mother and has left a trail of mostly-damning clues; the second girl, Sarah, is a weak-willed asthmatic follower, and the third, Fallon, is an ice cold, manipulating sociopath. Predictably, the most decent people in the story suffer the earliest consequences, as if to underscore the point that no good deed goes unpunished. Because she is the first to spill the beans, Bianca is charged with the crime ("Accused at 17") and conspired against by the other two. Trying to clear her daughter's name, Bianca's mother investigates but has her daughter's habit of leaving misleading clues when Sarah is subsequently also found dead. Evil Fallon plants evidence and tells lies, and also has a shallow, narcissistic mother who sunbathes by their pool, practices yoga and drinks martini's from an over-sized martini glass. The only familiar actor in the cast is William R. Moses, wasted in a one-note role as Fallon's clueless but decent father. It all leads to a formulaic conclusion where everything is revealed in one scene less than five minutes before the movie ends. You sort of see it coming.
Jean Toles 4/25/13 This movie was based on a true story. Some teenage girls actually did take another girl out and ended up killing her. The movie is a takeoff from the true story. Two girls, jealous of the dead girl because of her physical attractiveness and her grades and her boyfriend, and etc. did kill her. The first part is right if I remember. One of the murderers did seduce the dead girl's boyfriend but the murderers actually just invited the dead girl to a party and took her out in the desert in California and killed her. They are both in prison for life, now, I think. The acting is all right although I don't know the name of the actor who plays the mother of the accused. I think Robert Moses, the father of the murderer in the movie, is a very good actor. I've seen this movie twice.Jean
Carla Cannalte If horrible lifetime movies are a go-to on a sick day, please don't miss this one! It is standard lifetime crap, but very entertaining nonetheless. If you watch this with others you will get a great peanut gallery going--there are just too many things to laugh about. The dialogue is corny, the plot is unrealistic (I mean really, who would kill someone for chucking a rock at them?), and the acting is pretty over the top. Despite all of this, you will find yourself laughing at the ridiculousness that seeps out of every scene.What I love most about this movie is Fallyn--the girl looks EXACTLY like Val from "Brink". It is hard to take her seriously when all you can think about is her skating for "x-blades" and getting a milkshake thrown in her face.
