Adopted

Besides the major jumps in timeline, the acting was atrocious! The young man who plays the kid is so unbelievable. I don't usually slam the acting ability of kids, but he was horrible. Not unlike the adults. The plot was so lackluster, no skin in the game for character development or any believability.

Of course, watched the whole thing because it was literally just on for background noise, so you know if I noticed how bad it was with it just being background, it was horrible.

Most unbelievable story line. I mean, if you're going to write a movie about something that COULD be real, at least make it believable how it could happen. Pathetic excuse for a movie.

This is the worst movie of 2024. I am not kidding. Drew Sidora must be desperate for roles. This was terrible. More people need to start telling the truth about Tubi movies. Bad acting is unacceptable.

Speaking of bad acting. This movie has alot of it. The adopted boy could not act to save his life. No type of range. Just the same preppy, cringe tone. Drew Sidora also sounded preppy and cringe with no range. The adopted girl could not act worth one red penny.

The plot also was comical. A little boy goes around killing people and getting away with it. That doesn't make sense. He's a kid. Not a trained assassin.

Do not waste your time with this movie. Unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. This is terrible.

So this is a pretty stupid movie. Terrible acting, ridiculous plot, wooden dialogue, etc. That said the movie was entertaining enough to keep my interest. It plays like a low budget Lifetime type of thriller. The movie is similar to Orphan but not nearly as well written, produced, or acted. Its a shame really because with just a couple of tweaks this could have been a legitimately good movie. I enjoyed watching it just to see how bad it would get and in that context it didn't disappoint! This cheesy entertainment value is why I gave it two stars rather than one star. I'm not sure how this movie is rated so high, perhaps those associated with the movie are giving it high ratings? This is not worthy of a 7.0 IMDB rating! YMMV!

This movie is a joke.. but the only problem is it's not supposed to be!

The Good Son meets Chucky, meets Orphan... lol...

The ENTIRE plot is pretty much given away in the trailer.. though it is so formulaic and predictable you would've guessed it anyways!

Its only redeeming quality is that the production value is actually not bad for a movie likely filmed on an iPhone. The acting, is INCREDIBLY bad, especially that little kid, who is easily the worst child actor I've ever seen in a movie! I have seen scraped together YouTube movies that have more of an interesting plot and better acting than this movie. I even noticed they use YouTube devices like the BOOM sound effect when someone says something "dramatic".

It is actually entertaining in a way... In that you're laughing continually at just how bad this movie is!

This movie wasn't great but was entertaining enough to keep my interest. This was a basic done before plot structure . Killer foster kid deceives everyone into thinking he is an innocent kid before he starts killing. This was sort of a Mikey rip off without the clever kills. This kid was too obvious and sloppy as depicted in the end. It started out really well and kept my attention. The problem was they used guns too much they were definitely going for a California liberal anti gun message but instead created a message about proper gun storage ( which I support) and if that was the intention I give it one more star. Anyhow the movie started out good but fell flat in the 3rd act. They should have been more creative with the story. This movie was a decent watch but could have been better.
