Triple Dog

Triple Dog follows a group of 16 year old girlfriends as they take part in an extreme game of 'Truth or Dare' called 'Triple Dog', which is where the film gets its title from.

Triple Dog is not ground-breaking, but still feels fresh. Some may judge it as being nothing more than a teen movie, but as the story develops, there are many hidden depths to it. It reflects aspects of what it is to be a 16-year-old girl and how peer pressure, fitting in and being socially accepted can become the most important thing in the universe, even at the expense of your personal well-being or morals. Within this I feel like the film contained a very valuable message and although the ending was rather predictable, it was a fitting ended and I appreciated it.

It has plenty of entertainment value as the characters took part in extreme dares, but there is also emotion attached to it. The characters face dares that are very personal and specifically chosen by their friends to humiliate them based on their values and personalities. Beyond this, there's an element of mystery that is interwoven throughout which takes the movie beyond a group of friends daring each other to do ridiculous and extreme stuff.

The characters had interesting dynamics and good chemistry which was interesting to watch and added to the intruige of the story. Unlike most others in this genre, Triple Dog, felt like it tried to give attention to the characterisation of the main characters and their relationships with each other.

Overall, I enjoyed Triple Dog; it's entertaining, has an element of mystery, contains valuable messages and is led by a bunch of decent characters in comparison to other films in this genre.

The thing is, if you go to IMDb (Internet Movie Database), the definitive movie site for All movies, you will see Many negative reviews for this movie. This is because with a title like Triple Dog (I Triple Dog Dare You), you tend to expect content along the lines of "Saw" meets "Mean Girls".

But actually it was just a Very well acted coming of age movie; the "Dares" were all really rather lame, but they all monumentally contributed to the film's continuity and meaning, and established what was important throughout, that is, "what Really happened to Stacey St. Clair"....

I Highly recommend this movie!...

I don't know where the negatives are coming from, as this was a great movie. This film was very watchable, and very enjoyable. It wasn't a normal teen drama, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch, and it dealt with adult themes as well as teenage issues. I'll admit, it was very different from what I normally watch but I'm glad I watched it. There were some very funny moments, as well as some very human moments.

The actors did a great job, and never seemed false or wooden. They seemed as natural in the role of teenagers as I've seen really. Each of the main characters developed realistically over the course of the night portrayed in the film, anything more would be over the top.

I'm suspicious of the strongly negative user reviews saying that the acting was 'weak', and wonder about deliberately false reviews. The negative reviews couldn't be more wrong, and are probably designed just to sink the movie for cynical commercial reasons.

KInd of hillarious that all the good reviews are from new accounts that all seem to link to the cast in some way.

4.5

• This movie didn't start good, but turned out to be a better movie.
• Story is good with a small suspense in the end.
• Acting was good. Girl who played Chapin acted well.
