The Standoff

Actually super cute and has a feel - good ending. Characters are funny and relatable.

I expected bad, but this movie exceeded expectations. The acting, writing and directing were worse than local children's theater. And let's be honest: nobody goes to children's theater for the fine acting or intriguing plots.

Standoff was like that, but less cute, and the actors seemed to have two modes: yelling and angry, or stoned.

The saving grace is my kids will watch anything with sassy teens cracking terrible jokes, and they were generous enough to call it, unenthusiastically, "good."

Underrated movie that really needs more recognition. Great storyline with our favourite actors all together ❤ If you are a fan of teen movies this will be a great movie with a typical happy ending but it feels so good.

I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Olivia Holt. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Merrell twins were in The Standoff as well. I really liked the play on Vanessa and Veronica's Youtube in the movie. Plus their bubbly personality adds a lot to the movie.

Overall the acting was pretty good. There were a few spots that it could've been better. But for the most part it was decent.

The one thing I can't decide is if I like the plot or not. It's kind of a lame plot and the end is very predictable. Even with a lame plot I still enjoyed the movie. I liked the positive messages throughout and the contestants from all walks of life. Maybe the best way to put is this: The Standoff has more of a reality TV show feel as opposed to a movie. I think there are people who will enjoy this movie. But if you're looking for an outstanding movie that deserves an Oscar, this isn't it.

I don't know why but I just love this movie. From the acting to the story to the jokes. It puts a smile on my face just watching it. The chemistry between Olivia and Ryan was great. I could feel their hate to love story. All the actors/actresses seemed to have fantastic chemistry with one another. Even though it could have been better in some areas, I still enjoyed it. Overall, it's just an entertaining watch.
