Dare (2009)

Dare is a teen drama on sexual awakening, or at least that's what it tries to be. The sad fact is Dare only dares to hide the fact the script is weak, the acting worse and the story holds no interest. With daring I'm thinking about the attempts to shock. Sadly those really doesn't shock anybody at least a bit familiar with teen behavior, adolescent sex and the other.

Zach Gilford raised to fame with his good guy role at teen TV drama series Friday Night Light. The feeling you get from his role in this movie as 'Johnny', is an attempt to establish himself as versatile. He does not succeed. His 'Johnny Drake' is the most unbelievable part of the movie, and it says something in such a poorly acted piece.

At the end of the day I don't care about 'Johnny', 'Alexa', 'Ben' or either of the others. Their stories aren't special, their lives doesn't touch me in any way and I only feel robbed for a hour and a half because there's nothing here worth portraying.
