Too much of everything
Absolutely Fantastic
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I really like Cassandra so maybe that's why I liked the movie more. I don't know. It is definitely a bit sappy but I like sappy. By the end I was crying like a wiener. It is hard to write a review when you don't want to spoil anything. Okay I didn't find her role as a prostitute overly believable but boy did she look hot. LOL And I'm a girl that isn't into girls.
Brittany (Cassandra Scerbo) is a Portland prostitute working for vicious pimp Oscar Jackson (Chad Rook). Brittany befriends runaway foster kid Chelsea (Kirsten Prout). Oscar mistakenly kills Chelsea and Brittany decides to assume Chelsea's identity. Chelsea's aunt Kim (Keegan Connor Tracy) hasn't seen her since she was a child and wants to adopt her.It's one of those TV movies at the level of Lifetime. It's the worst grading it on the curve. The acting is functional. The most compelling story is the bullied high school girl. The fake dead girl story is tabloid fare. The ending is forced and quick. Overall, it doesn't really exceed that Lifetime level.
I usually just sit in my chair playing games while my wife watches the Lifetime movies, but something about this one grabbed my attention. Okay, maybe it's the fact that Cassie Scerbo is intensely attractive. I had to look her up to make sure she was legal. Whew. Even when her character was in high school, the clothes she wore made my head spin. I'm not going to ruin the plot for you, but she plays a reluctant prostitute trying to make her life better and ends up living someone else s life. I never really care about these movies, but the ending had me tearing up. BTW, the woman who played her aunt was incredible, playing the guilt of her character while also the fragility of hope and affection she was feeling for the main character.
