Minor Details (2009)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

When people first look at this movie, they think it's ridiculous. But, it's actually not. I watched this on Netflix, and I fell in love with it. It's a simple story about four girls trying to solve the mystery of why is everyone at Danforth Academy getting sick. Paige (Caitlin E.J. Meyer)teams up with Abby(Kelsey Edwards), Clair (Danielle Churchran), and Taylor (Lauren Faber) to solve a mystery with clues that no one saw coming. Jennette McCurdy is pretty great in this movie. I love how it revolves around these teens. What do the KIDS think? The KIDS solve the mystery. The movie is all about them. adults are mainly background. All things considered, this is one of my favorites.

Minor Details is literally the worst thing I have ever seen on a screen. It is as cheap,generic,cheesy,and overrated as a Denny's hamburger.I have never seen such bad acting in my life and would only watch this movie if someone put a gun to my head and told me to.The writing,acting,casting,theme,feel,direction,setting,and even the point of this entire movie is outrageously stupid.Just by looking at the title of this movie made me scream out that it was it was going to be another girly film about a bunch of baloney,and I was quite right.The actors look like they're holding their script in front of them and saying their lines aloud,and the only decent and sort of known actor in Minor Details is the girl from iCarly that was still terrible in this movie.I sort of think that my 10 year old sister,the one who made me watch this movie as it was her turn for family movie night,created this entire movie after an investor passed her 100 dollars to make it.The only thing they got right was characterization which was because the characters are dim witted and have the direction of a broken GPS.If you put a decent film with a sub-par plot such as Rudy next to this movie,Minor Details would disintegrate in to a million pieces.This movie is just another mixture of a bunch of other movies with the same theme.Minor Details must have been put together by super glue because this movie's sense of interesting plot structure is as weak as a cheap watchstrap.This movie is as ridiculously cliché,as if someone watched every single movie ever made,found a running theme in all of them,and put them in to this one .If you are above twelve and/or male I would advise you not to watch this movie unless you have a big bowl of ice cream to tolerate it.Minor Details is absolutely perfect for a ten year old girl's slumber party.Otherwise,don't watch this film.

I was surprised that this movie was as good as it was. It doesn't have the gloss and production of a typical tween movie but the story line was decent. I especially like that it portrayed girls working together, using their brains, and moving past personality differences. The characters were all dressed modestly but cute which was refreshing. I thought the actresses did a good job of creating their characters, giving them a little depth and back story. However the story as a whole was very predictable. I am so tired of shows that depict the drama between girls at this age picking each other apart. This movie showed the girls something positive, a different reality that is possible even if it's not popular. These issues go back forever but we can keep trying to overcome them and I think this is a movie that helps our girls see positive ways to interact with difficult people or work through trying situations. All in all, it wasn't horrible to sit through though honestly I was reading or on the laptop but still, happy to be a presence when they would ask a question or make a comment. It's a mom & daughter movie for sure, good for a sleep over.

The plot is pretty good. Nothing unique but the movie is fun and entertaining for kids about age 6-13. My grandkids love the actress who plays Mia in the movie, she's on iCarly and they love that show. The other characters in the movie were good. My grandkids liked all the characters in the movie especially the kid with the red hair and all the hives, and the coach who talks with an Indian accent. My favorite was Professor Plume. He was a hoot! I rate it an 8 out of 10 because there aren't too many movies I can let my grandkids watch while they are at my house. It kept them happy for a couple of hours and that makes me happy!
