Audience Member This movie started very intere4sting but towards the end it stared to loose interest, and I lost the interest until the end. I thought it was going to be similar to a lifetime movie, that we tell the story of what's going to happen to these teens if they go to jail, but it wasn't. It had potential and great story line. but the acting in the movie was horrible. I did not believe the actors at all. their emotions unbelieve and unconvincing, you can just hate the leading actresses on the entire movie. a really horrible movie to watch. So for this being a very low movie that doesn't show anything interesting at all, I give " Accused At 17 " a D-. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review steve d melodrama but an entertaining one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Spoiled rotten teenager becomes unspoiled and appreciative after. . . almost being imprisoned for a murder of a classmate that she did not commit? This could only be the work of a overly dramatic Lifetime movie! And it is. But it is one of the better Lifetime movies put there just because it's unlike anything else that's really out there. And Lifetime movies are certainly never cinematic masterpieces. There's a certain amount of hamminess that goes into every single one but that is what makes Lifetime movies fun and entertaining to watch. Accused At 17, while it probably won't leave a lasting impression, it's still perfect for a weeknight home in your pajamas with Ben & Jerry to keep you company. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member "Accused at 17" is everything that you expect from a Lifetime Original Movie. Melodramatic story, mediocre acting, and an addictive quality that won't let you turn it off once you've gotten a half hour into the story. The story begins with a teen whose boyfriend cheats on her. It progresses to the teen's friends accidentally murdering the girl while trying to teach her a lesson. The rest of the film focuses on a series of lies told in order to keep their secret. There are a lot of bothersome production moments, like the fact that we never see the murdered girl's parents (even when they are at her house) and the cheating boyfriend awkwardly trying to apologize. Also, the overly boisterous cops and the completely absurd ending. But sometimes you just have to shrug and say "It's a Lifetime Original Move." The kids acted better than the adults (probably because we have a higher expectation for adults. Barbara Niven, William Moses, and Lindsay Taylor seemed like they walked directly off of a soap opera set, but I actually really enjoyed Nicole Gale Anderson's performance. Not in an Oscar way, but in a "you fit your typical teen character well" way. I turned on "Accused at 17" knowing exactly what I was getting into and, as long as you have that expectation, you'll enjoy this over dramatic story and be curious to see how it ends. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has some of the worst acting I've ever seen and a STUPID plot about STUPID high school girls doing STUPID things for STUPID reasons. Don't even think about wasting your time watching it...unless you want to laugh at Hollywood's sad attempt to create "compelling drama". Think Mean Girls only for every bit that movie is awesome, this one is horrible. And quite twisted. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Super good it shows you that u hve to be careful of who u trust ;) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
