Best movie of this year hands down!
An unexpected masterpiece
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I watched this movie when it first came out. I remember seeing previews for it and I think i was 10 or 11 not sure but I remember waiting so anxiously to see it because I loved Tiffani Amber-Theissen. When I started watching it right from the beginning I was hooked. I never knew that this was a true story. Now I know and now I cringe even more thinking about the poor girl that this was done too. And her poor mother/family. The "People" that did that to her In my opinion should have gotten more then a slap in the face by the mother who took the one girlfriend, Ellen into her home. The girl that was there and didn't do anything about it, I was shocked I couldn't have A.) Let that happen to someone and B.)Not tell for that long she had a shot anytime she wanted Ellen was automatically locked up as soon as they got word of the killers. Anyways I loved the movie, it was directed great and the cast was great but I'm so sorry for the Monroe's families loss.
you can get past Loretta Swit trying to act as an intelligent police detective, with a brunette wig.Tiffani Amber-Thiessen is the victim and Patty Duke is her over-protective mother. This film is similar to "Bully" in that it shows the inhuman treatment some students project one each other, sometimes for no reason at all, other than jealousy. This film was loosely based on a true story.The problem with some TV movies like this is they use someone with a too high TV Q/persona (Swit) and it takes away from the substance of the story. 5/10
As i only started watching the movie half way through because there was nothing better on, what struck me was how compelling the story was, as it was a a B-Movie with hammy acting, it spotlighted the issues that occur amongst teenage girls-its scary how powerful envy can be & how it can drive someone to such a horrible act- but i found it hard to believe ( as manipulative as Ellen was) how Patty Duke's character could not see through her -although i have to say that Patty Duke did a great service to the movie And Ellens character being so 2 faced and Clingy makes you detest her.Not a bad effort for a TV flick from the early nineties
SPOILER ALERT This was terrible when Jenny Monroe gets murdered by Carla Lewis and Ellen Holloway. Kathy Pearl who told the whole story to the detective said that she rode with Ellen Holloway while Jenny Monroe rode with Carla Lewis to the woods leading to the creek. Kathy didn't do anything, but Ellen and Carla cursed at each other, called each other names, yelled and screamed at each other when there was a misunderstanding between them. Jenny tried to stop the argument, but she probably joined in the dispute, and then Ellen and Carla started pummelling her, kicking her, other things besides that. Then they both took her to the creek where Ellen cut Jenny's hair with a knife and they drowned her. Ellen hid the secret the whole time and Carla also. They were lying. Thanks to Kathy Pearl for telling the truth before it was too late. Ellen Holloway and Carla Lewis were sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for first-degree murder of Jenny Monroe. This was such a terrible scene for people to watch.
