This is a really interesting movie. It's a thriller, to a
certain extent, and the story has lots of twists and turns.
The story starts out innocently and then things go from bad
to worse. The story is about some high school teens
who decide to cheat on their college entrance exam by hiring
a nerdy smart girl to take the test for them. The main
character is Heather ("Anger Management"'s
Daniela Bobadilla),
a nice, normal girl who has become friends with a bitchier
girl named Kylie ("Awkward"'s
Laura Ashley Samuels).
Kylie seems like your typical mean girl, but her parents put
a lot of pressure on her. Heather's mom is divorced and has
a lot of bills, and she wants to get into a good college.
Kylie doesn't care about school, but her rich parents want
her to live up to their expectations (and they are very cold
and controlling people, as is Kylie). Kylie's boyfriend, Max
("Teen Wolf"'s
Max Carver)
is the typical dumb jock, but his parents also pressure him
to get into college. They get this girl Meredith ("Shameless"'s
Laura Wiggins),
who is very smart and academic, to take the tests for them.
Meredith needs the money because she has a single dad and a
disabled brother.
All of these actors do a fabulous job of giving their
characters more depth than how they're written. The actors
who play their parents and teachers do a great job, too. I
particularly liked veteran actress
Cynthia Gibb, who plays Heather's mom, Brenda, and
Jamie Luner as the girls' teacher who notices something
is amiss. Also,
Paula Trickey is cast perfectly as Kylie's mother, who's
very intense.
Things spiral out of control for
the kids, since Kylie has been very mean to Meredith in the
past. The movie turns very shocking and violent in several
places, like most Lifetime movies. I always enjoy these fun
flicks on a Saturday night. You will definitely want
to watch this and see where the thrill ride takes you.
