    Now, that was pretty bad!

    After such great trailers I had such a different idea of the movie, and now that I saw it I'm happy I didn't waste money going to the cinema.

    Acting was pretty dire and even the (few) good moments aren't enough to make this a less painful hour and an half.

    Maybe young teens would like the story but that would be it.
