Inkoo Kang Los Angeles Times 01/30/2014
Writer-director Marco Weber's unsatisfying Malibu thriller is burdened by uneven performances and a surfeit of half-developed ideas. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/06/2020 A horrible student film level production about how stupid and desperate people can be. Predictable, very poorly acted, and unredeemable. See more 06/10/2016 Something is missing in this thriller. The story is not developed and the directing is not something you will miss. See more 05/11/2016 Ugly and monotonous, California Scheming is a poorly made psychological thriller. The story follows a young girl who seduces two high school boys and manipulates them into carrying out her nefarious schemes. The acting is atrocious, and the directing is even worse. The sets look incredibly cheap, the cinematography is bad, and the sound mixing is awful. But worst of all is the dour and sadistic tone, which is extremely off-putting. Nihilistic garbage, California Scheming doesn't have anything to say and fails to entertain. See more 11/21/2015 Dumbest movie I've seen in years See more 10/10/2015 Just a bunch of crazy annoying & dumbass teenagers doing dark(see dumb) shit. Can't believe a watched this. In my defence the genre said it is a "thriller" but still jokes on me. See more 10/17/2014 Perfect for late night drunk viewing. See more Read all reviews
