When Wren Pepper (Nina Dobrev) feels her closest friends slipping away, she lets loose a little white lie that snowballs into a colossal, life-altering event. Jennifer Cram's feature film debut is a hilarious take on the price of insecurity and the rewards of true friendship. Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Brandon Mychal Smith (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Sherry Cola (Good Trouble) join Dobrev in a brilliant comedy you won't want to miss.

On paper, it contains admirable notions about adult female friendships and the need to maintain that vital bond. In execution, however, those stirring sentiments are tested by taxing hijinks.

Sick Girl appeared anemic in its depiction, never truly ready to commit to the humor or drama aspects of its narrative. While it has it s moments of genuine emotional connection, the film feels sluggish in presentation.

The cast is talented and the story has potential, but the end result is merely lukewarm.

3/5

In Wren's case, she takes it too far, to a place that's so wrong, it's actually extremely insensitive.

The frantic humor clashes with the disingenuous moralizing, and even the prospect of a fatal disease can't make any of these characters endearing.

It’s not the ethically dubious premise as much as the ambivalent execution that dooms this otherwise spirited comedy about female bonding and arrested development.

I would give 0 stars just for the plot line. Who fakes having cancer?? That's unforgivable. She had so many chances to come clean and no good reason not to. Change the entire plot it could even be a good movie. I've got a dark sense of humor but this movie wasn't funny. Not my choice to watch, and I gave it my full attention in hopes it would be alright. Movie critics are right with this one. Director should have never.

Jennifer Cram got off to a good start directing. Obviously this movie has nothing new, it is a formula that has been used before but it is entertaining. I really liked the cinematography of the film. Nina Dobrev's performance is admirable, she played Wren Pepper very well.

For Jennifer Cram's directorial debut, it's fine. It is not a work that deserves an Oscar but it is a good film with good performances. For a low budget independent film it's good. I loved the cinematography of the film.
