sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Somewhat far fetched, in just how naive those in it are, made for TV movie about these three girls in their early 20's taking a trip to the notorious San Diego Mittner Cove for spring brake where anything goes who end up getting themselves good and smashed. And in the case of pretty 22 year old 2nd grade school teacher Emma Norman, Odette Annable, video taped supposedly doing it, having wild and crazy sex, with a number of the students partying there. It's later back home in Prairie Minnesota that a tape of the action is seen on the Internet with Emma looking both drunk and high on drugs moaning and groaning on the beach with an unidentified, his head is turned from the camera, and seemingly very happy and aroused young man.In no time at all Emma's life is turned upside down losing her job as a teacher as well as having her boyfriend David the Fireman, John Baker, cut off all communications, on the phone & Internet, with her. Among Emma's other problems is her dad's business is torched and she' stalked by this degenerated who after seeing her on the net and how hot she is, and by thinking that she's easy, trying to get very friendly with her as well as getting into her jogging sweat pants. Feeling that she was set up in all this by a group of horny guys back at Mittner's Cove Emma tries to get proof that she in fact is not the girl having sex on the internet porno movie. Something that's so obvious in seeing that it's her head not her body, that's seen having sex on the video, on the tape that it can be proved by anyone not just photographic computer and video tape expert Mr. Raviphamai, Colin Mathura-Jeffree, that she traveled all the way to L.A to have him analyzed.****SPOILERS*** With no one willing to help her Emma goes on her own doing a little detective work in tracking down those who video taped her without her consent to not only bring them to justice but clear her good name as well. In the end Emma gets justice in her own way but most of all convinces herself that she was a victim not a willing participant in the mess that she got herself into. Even though she had to break the law and an apartment filled with computers video and tape splicing machines to do it.P.S The movie sadly depicts what's become so common in this computer and technical age in how easy it is to invade someone's privacy and use that information to be spread across the globe via the internet which knows no boundaries and, in those illegally using it, respects no laws.

dmitriych The movie raises good questions. With the level of technology we have today and the number of fake sex tapes out there, can anyone be blamed if one pops up? Does anyone have a right to add anything to what you permitted them to film? Do they even ask permission to film? And what is your recourse if a tape actually damages YOUR reputation? I agree Emma made some stupid choices, but she should have been able to get protection from the law. Not from boob flashing, no, but from a non-permitted taping of this being turned into a hardcore XXX. To all who intend to blame Emma, imagine someone drugging your daughter and doing the same to her. How would you react? If mine said she'd never done it and proved it to me like Emma, I would be this close to finding the bastard who made it and taking him out when it's dark and no one can see. Say you interview for a job where reputation is important. Someone could film you walking at the beach and erase swimwear, then YouTube the video and send a link to your interviewer saying you are a devoted nudist, which may be viewed as improper. By the time you sort things out, position is filled, time is lost. Is it fair? Think before you blame Emma saying "she had it coming". What's a girl to do these days, not come out the door for fear that she might get her reputation damaged the way I just described and it's her fault no matter what?This, however, is where the good stuff ends. The story falls flat at the end. What could be easier than setting up a microphone in that bra and taping the distributor, the tape maker and his rape threats. Note: This is admissible evidence without warning the other side because it is a criminal matter. If I were serious about getting these people I would have used every trick to get them, microphones, tiny camera in a purse, whatever. My sympathy for Emma ended where a seemingly intelligent girl (and her family) became completely stupid and did zero to gather any evidence, even though they easily could. The end was frustrating and lame.To sum up, this movie did not impress me. Good start, coughed and died.

Gore_Won Comments that blame the victim are exactly what the film was preaching against. No, this is no Academy Award-winning film. It didn't win any critics' award, or Sundance, or Golden Globe, but it has a point. Many people are hypocrites and they will find it difficult to find in favor of women who show any sexuality. To the poster who dismissed the girl because she took a drink from a stranger--imagine your daughter forgetting that rule for one moment--here are two quotes for you to chew on: Hell is the theological equivalent of "Boy are you gonna get it when your dad gets home!" - Jack Carlson The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists--that is why they invented hell. - Bertrand Russell

bkoganbing Watching Reckless Behavior: Caught On Tape the only thing I was thinking is that here's two hours I'll never get back. I stuck with it so I could write this review and warn others to beware.Odette Yustman plays a bright young grade school teacher in a small town enthusiastic about her job and eagerly awaiting marriage to a local guy. When spring break comes this small town girl from the mid-west goes to San Diego where she and friends meet up with Antonio Sabato, Jr. and his friends. A little drinking, a little encouragement and she has her spring fling.But that's hardly the end of it. Odette winds up on a porn tape making the rounds of the internet and the old scarlet letter gets pinned on her. The rest of the film is spent on her search for justice and vindication.If you're that interested to see if she gets it you could watch the film. Frankly, I wouldn't bother again, not even for Antonio Sabato, Jr. who's still quite the sex symbol. The ending is mind bogglingly stupid to say the least.It's an awful story with wooden performances by players who really couldn't create any believability. Given the script that would have been hard for Larry Olivier.
