California Scheming

I've read through all the reviews and I'm surprised no one mentioned that this is a pretty obvious remake of Frank Perry's 1969 film "Last Summer". As soon as I saw the seagull with the girl and the two boys that came along, I recognized the plot. Then when the second girl showed up I was convinced they were doing an uncredited remake of that amazing and disturbing film. That said, this isn't bad. Even though I knew where the film was headed, I was interested throughout. I would suggest giving "Last Summer" a viewing, since that is much better and more original.

I just finished watching and the thing that scared me the most wasn't any kind of cheap 'pop out at you' scares, but the fact that these are very real feeling kids in situations that might hit close to home for a lot of teens. I knew girls in school who were just like Chloe. The ones that use their looks to get other people to do whatever they want. And the other kids feel real too. The ones who just want to fit in or the ones that get bullied into doing things they wouldn't normally do. So this isn't the kind of movie that keep you hanging onto the edge of your seat, but it's the kind where it burns really slow and makes you think of people that you know and situations you've been in. Definitely check it out if you want to see something that you'll still be feeling after you're done watching it.

I don't even want to bother to elaborate why this film is so bad, considering enough time wasted watching it.

But since I have to write minimum 10 lines, this is what it is -

The film has NO story. No character development. It's about a girl who uses her beauty to manipulate people around her, but no offence, the female lead's look is below average, how is this convincible?

It's like a bad student film that only the creators get excited about what they're trying to show, while the audiences have no idea what they're watching.

Just stay away from this film. Not even when there's a free show on TV or online.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

(Are those good reviews coming from people associated with this film by the way? Otherwise it's unbelievable that a real audience would say anything good about such a bad film.)

i am a major fan of the virgin suicides.

imagine the creepy thinking process of the Lisbon girls on drugs with ignorant Malibu students.

i loved the movie definitely watch it. the girl Chloe was scary. she's a psychopath in the hottest way. hands down loved the movie. i

loved the twist on Charles Manson's creepy crawling and marry poppins.

one thing i didn't like was the way Rachel was so randomly introduced.

other than that two thumbs up

recommend it for ages 15- 25

not your typical i hate myself teen movie, for once an actual good teen movie

I have seen The Bling Ring I have seen teen thrillers but all nothing quite like this . I have my new favorite movie . I just felt a connection with these people and they are just a creepy kind of cool and they just find all ways to make everything interesting like that pool scene and shopping scene and well basically every scene and this can explain the Teenage feelings of being tricked into friendships girls making things tricky for teen boys it is exactly what I want these people to know . This film was well made with talent and care . The acting was amazing they were just like the students at my old high school and some from college . Great film
