Audience Member Not one of my favorites Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/21/18 Full Review Audience Member Putrid, worthless, predictable, insulting to the intelligence of its viewers....Shall I go on? How hackneyed is the "friends turn into lovers even though everyone else sees it but they don't until the end of the movie happily ever after" schtick? But here it is presented as if this director was the first to think of it. Since you know the ending 5 minutes into this sorry movie, what is there to hold your interest? Maybe he high school cutie who has an annoying giggle and hops into bed within 10 minutes of meeting him. Maybe 3 different brunettes who look so much alike I had to struggle to keep them straight. An oh-so-perfect black and white couple, where the black dude couldn't be more of super cool oreo. A tramp of a thoughtless blonde. By now I hope you're saying "and these are the good points?" Yes my friends, that's exactly right. This is feel good trash. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member rel hard for a fella to complete a womans wish Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pink Ranger topless? 5 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member pink power ranger sex scence and the rest is a bunce of garbage Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member very convincing. it was a job well done. great movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
