Given the ridiculous premise, Treed Murray comes off far better than you would imagine. The plot is ridiculous, production quality isn't great, and it wraps up about like you would expect of a Canadian production of Degrassi Jr High with all of its attendant life lessons. Gack. But still... the film is basically a set up for a series of character studies. Not great - kinda stereotyped and overly dramatic, but enough to keep the interest level up, like some sort of video potboiler.

Wow, the poster makes this film look a lot better than it is. Not that the film is all bad... It's a low key, minisule budget affair, the sort of tv film you watch in the afternoon whilst ill. Strong premise, but lacking in either suspension or plot. - One or the other could have done with being stronger.
