This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Good acting, considering the remarkably puerile script they had to work with. The characters were almost totally unbelievable, the only motivation any of them had to work with was "bizarrely deviant" or "abused as a child", and the sketchy history that brings the characters to the period of the movie is told in such a drawn-out, patchy fashion that it simply becomes annoying, rather than dramatic, as the author seems to have intended.The "unrated" label is a draw for people wanting to see something explicit - but only the language and sexual situations would prevent this from a PG rating.*** Spoilers follow *** The teacher who obviously masturbates watching his students, the students who obviously encourage this by giving him up-skirt shots, then go with him to enlist in producing internet porn, the escort who storms out of a "date" within 90 seconds because the client wants to touch her, the over-the-top fetishes shown all prevent the viewer from being able to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy any part of this movie. As another reviewer pointed out, the acting is pretty good - but that's all there is to see here.

Heard this was the bad joke of the Austin Film Fest. After reviewing this for myself its more then easy to see why. First off the script comes across as being written by a dirty old man enjoying himself more then the audience would ever as he imagines the lives of low life uncared for teenagers. . The 99% untried actors try to handle the unlikely all over the place creepy fantasy but there are problems to the right and left.They should mention the cheap background sets in the description on the cover of the DVD. One was supposed to be an eatery that was clearly someones house. Most of the rest were pretty terrible. I'm probably going to have to say its the only fun part of the cheap movie to watch. Unless your a deviant who gets off on watching abused children I'd stay away of this. I thought it would be decent quality..i was wrong.

A larded use of content considered taboo and shocking by the general populace with plenty of oddly written dialog coming at you wrapped in artistic pretension. On The Doll serves to exploit a serious issue. Pedophilia, molesters, right along side with their abused children are all here on the plate as entertainment. Though the editing is well executed its the opposite of being a '"star vehicle" for Brittany Snow. The other actors give us their best student like performances. Yes, this film is terrible but not in the fun way. The end leaves one wondering what is the exact personal problem(s)of writer/director Thomas Mignone to take such an interest here.

I saw this movie without any expectations that it would be very good. I had not heard anything about it and it looked like a B-movie from the horror-genre. I was very surprised over how engaging it was and what a good job the director/writer had done. It captured me right away and I watched through it with a growing admiration for the story and the characters. The editing is also very good and the score is also well done.We see three different stories from the sex-industry that have something in common based on an unusual twist. We follow the main characters rather depressing life and their struggle to get something positive out of their situation. The story, which can be a bit confusing at first, clears up in the end with a surprising and moving climax. Too me, this movie tells something about how sometimes, when we think we can fix anything, you have to take a closer look to see that it is lost no matter what you do and that some souls are destined to go under as a consequence of the path their life has taken...This is a capturing drama from a part of our society that we see everyday, but don't want to know about...
