AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
ivegonemod I have seen this movie at least 20 times, and am shocked by it every single time. It is based on the real murder of Michele Alvila. She was killed by best friend Karen Severson and another friend Laura Doyle. Karen was released from jail in December 2011, and Laura December 2012.In the movie, we see "Michele" who is called Jenny, with "Karen" called Ellen, as friends who have grown apart. Ellen is jealous of Jenny because she is pretty and thin and popular. Ellen has a child and a nowhere life. In her mind, Jenny has everything and deserves to die because of it.Ellen is a twisted freak who gives Ted Bundy a run for his money. I wonder if Ellen/Karen has really changed.
gene_freak The moonfaced girl from 90210 stars as God-knows-why-she's-supposed to-be-so-popular Jenny Monroe.In a mall scene, I laughed as every man's head turned to see her bad 80s hair and tree-trunk legs bulging out of yellow short-shorts.Of course her best friend is a luckless plain-jane teen mom in overalls, who actually is much prettier than the unbelievably beloved Jenny.Plain Jane was adopted, AND nobody loves her, so she wants to be a substitute daughter to Jenny's mom. Stupid, right?She obviously masterminded Jenny's murder.BUT... she did it all... for love!I don't know for sure, because I really couldn't stand this pathetic estrogen-fest masquerading for psychological drama. I was just watching it because I ran out of sleeping pills, and it sure did the trick!
jbunyan 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.
derhds13 This one of the most disturbing TV Movies I have ever watched. Ellen is a completely disturbing psychopath and you might get scared to watch her. When the truth comes out about Jenny's murder, you aren't going to be shocked about who did it (you know from the second it happens), but you will be shocked about how it was done. A horrible scene to watch was Jenny's death scene. It was a shame because this girl (Jenny) did nothing wrong and these girls' reasons for killing her were complete misunderstandings about what they thought they saw.
