A 13-year-old (Tatiana Maslany) gives in to sexual temptation after her mother abandons the family.

Grown Up Movie Star is an awkward mixture of an emotionally intimate coming-of-age story and contrived serio-comic plotting.

2.5/4

It isn't a polished effort, but Maggs delivers a watchable movie thanks to snappy dialogue (also provided by Maggs) and outstanding work from a cast plucked mostly from The Rock.

The dialogue is credible and it crackles along with an underhanded oh-so-Newfoundland wit. But the reason to see this movie is Tatiana Maslany.

3.5/5

Grown Up Movie Star is unruly, tortured, crisis-prone, nervy, melodramatic and just charming enough to make you forgive all of the above. It's like a teenager that way.

I thought this was a great story, the acting was great. I love a coming of age story where it is not just the main character who finds themselves

Great Canadian movie. The storyline is pretty intense and deep. A profound story showing the raw reality of real life and all it encompasses. The acting was outstanding and Maslany was fantastic. Hopefully this will lead to more roles in the future.
