Adopted

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!

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 was one of the most atrocious movies I have ever watched. From the terrible acting to the sub par story telling... all I can say is YIKES.

Please do yourself a favour and don't even attempt to watch this horrible attempt at a movie. I feel incredibly annoyed that I spent so much time watching this atrocity.

This is an hour and a half of garbage you will NEVER get back.

There are tons of movies that are so bad that they're actually good- this isn't one of them. Quite literally one of the worst movies I've ever forced myself to sit through.

The actors in this movie need to find new careers. I just have no words to describe how terrible they are.

Ignore the naysayers completely.

This was hilariously fluffy all the way, while the tyrannical psychotic little kid delivered in Spades.

Sweet as apple pie on the outside...and an utterly rotten apple inside.

This was well plotted and paced and the shocks and hits just keep coming one after another, and those on the naive clueless delivery end step into it all very nicely so to speak for this kind of film.

Think of a Chucky in the flesh who is cuter, funnier, far more charming...and who is certainly as self-centered and chillingly ruthless. Again, ignore the naysayers... If you like these kind of films, then this is one you'll certainly remember.

The kid nailed it...

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!
