Summering

This movie is just wrong, in so many levels. I understand that the aim might have been to create something deep and maybe even meaningful, but to me this is an illustration of lack of emotional depth, at no point were the children taking responsibility for the things they did and none of them showed any empathy or emotional depth - it felt like 4 pre-teenage sociopaths roaming around. Is that what friendship looks like to the writer? How about we show them what empathy and taking responsibility for our actions looks like? Who is the target audience to this picture, I saw some review saying they watched it with their kids, I hope you were telling them how it works in real world and how to differentiate right from wrong.

Clunky, aimless and extremely try hard in eliciting any emotion. Everything is so obvious and well trodden and treated better in other far superior films of a similar ilk. Themes and situations are picked up, dropped and left unexplored in order to move on to another clichéd situation ad nauseum. Saw this as a Cineworld Unlimited advance screening and I believe it is an example of using the service to get people through the door to see an otherwise inessential and rather vacuous film. Some films I see and they make my love of films grow and I think 'I want to see ALL the films!' Films like this leave me thinking 'Films aren't all that great'
