Sadie still needs a ton of work with her crying, very fake and funny looking
Disappointing adaptation of the YA nove about a girl who goes to live with her Dad after the death of her 2 year old half-sister Zoe. Sadie Sink is excellent but Kweku Collins falls flat as Jimmy, delivering lines with dead eyes and little intonation. What's more, while she was actually 17 playing 16, he looked like he was 25. The chemistry wasn't there, the connection wasn't built and the love between them wasn't earned. The dialogue was at times terrible. It's a shame. I liked the novel well enough (as an adult who occasionally enjoys YA fiction) and think this could have been a winner with better casting and more time devoted to the live story. Would not recommend.
Not the worst thing I saw but that's just it. If you describe this movie to anyone, it would be same kind of drama (soap opera) you already saw a million times on TV.
Sadie really put one hundred percent effort on this role compare to the rest of the people who work on this movie. The only reason why I can finish this movie.
One of the few positive for me is her relationship with her father. Every moment with both of them able to make this movie at least enjoyable.
The first half was ok, the last half feels all over the place by it's narrative & they really don't know what they wanna tell from this movie.
Also, why this movie set in post 9/11? Cause first, it didn't effect the movie entirely. And second, not much from this movie make it feel like it was the early 2000's. The only solid refrence they pull from this era is a brick Nokia 3310 phone. Are they try to conserve budget? *Cause I heard it was a $10 movie.
Conclusion: Not really a painful watch, you can watch this if you looking for something mindless. Sadie Sink is the only reason this movie's watchable.
