I'm sorry Greta. You probably had a story down there you wanted to tell, but you failed on so many levels. Hillary Duff is awful in this. A complex rebellious and suicidal character, with brain, beauty and edge? Come on. Ms. Duff can't portray half of it, and not even that half especially realistic. I noticed she was also given executive producer credits, so I guess there was too few people actually trying to direct her acting because I've seen her better. Not that much would be needed to outdo this piece of garbage acting.
The supporting cast struggles as well. You can see those decent or better of them, struggle to act of Duff. It's not easy having scenes with such a leading actress. Are you going to outshine her completely? Are you going to try and help her catch the essence of the scene? It seems like half the time the other actors and actresses is having an internal struggle on how to interact.
The story has some layers underneath, but it's all just a little too teen-movie. We'll see her issues, touch on her problems, note the girl underneath all that rebellious drama and feel something, but the story is so unbalanced that when you combine it with the acting you wish you could help the original author in some way, cause this couldn't have started out this bad.
Ms. Duff: Sing more, take acting lessons and next time: Stay only in front of the camera with tougher people behind the scene telling you what to do and especially telling you when you don't act at all.
