Sadie's Last Days on Earth

Is the film about the last days on earth or about teenage angst?

High school girl Sadie (Morgan Taylor Campbell) is convinced the world will end on December 21. She is well prepared, she has her own bunker, she has bought up all sorts of provisions and survivalist stuff from the stores.

What Sadie is not doing is facing up to her day to day life of teenage anxiety but she has prepared for the impending apocalypse with a to-do list that she crosses off when she achieves her various goals which includes kissing a boy.

This is a Canadian set pessimistic but eccentric comedy with some breezy actors but really does not get anywhere. I doubt even the teenage audience it wants to target could sustain their interest much.

After studying the world's religious prophecies, Sadie Mitchell is sure that the world is ending in 30 days and everybody is getting tired of her. She is desperate to get anybody to prep for the inevitable. She has a survivalist checklist and two main goals remaining. She has to get back together with former best friend Brennan so that she wouldn't be a lone survivor. Second, she needs her first kiss with a boy. Jack Diaz befriends the odd lonely girl.

The lead girl is good although the best friend needs a bigger personality. The boy is good enough. As a teen drama, it has the kids and the melodrama. I do like the initial premise. The issue with the movie is the issue with Sadie. I don't see the real issue with her. She's an obsessed prepper but that does not automatically make her a social outcast. It doesn't explain completely her disconnection with Brennan. I don't know why she can't walk certain places in the school. The movie doesn't explain a lot of her issues. Does she have OCD? She's obsessed but it can't be all her problems. I don't see how she's isolated. She would be the queen of preppers and her report is perfectly fine for the assignment. It's a good premise but it needs some more thoughts on what it actually means. Quite frankly, the school counsellor would meet her to make sure that she's not suicidal. Maybe she doesn't want to walk in certain places at school because she had traumatic incidences there. This movie needs the writers to work through a few things before handing in the assignment.

I think that this film portrays anxiety in teenagers well and it shows how serious it can be whilst keeping the film funny and light hearted. It's a film that you'll be able to relate to if you have anxiety,but is also a fun comedic film that I think most teenagers would enjoy. Whilst the film doesn't have the best story overall I'd recommend it as definitely has its moments and explores some great themes.

As a comedy this movie most definitely succeed in the comedy genre category. Comedy is one of my favorite genre and all the main actors did well in this movie i have seen worst and this is far from worst that i have seen.

(Morgan Taylor Campbell) plays Sadie Mitchell a teenager who create a list of things she want to do before the world ends in 31 days. Sadie is showing many signs of paranoia with anxiety or fear. I can't fully relate to Sadie but i seen a lot of people who go through anxiety or a state of under pressure fear of dying, losing someone close or enter and leaving high school and other things. I myself always avoid and not worry so much into things like that with Sadie she's prepared and more cautious by surrounding herself with food supplies all kept storage in her bunker.

Everyone look at Sadie as this insane person but one person (Jack Diaz) portray by Ricardo Hoyos Sadie's crush. It just proves everyone have different ways of dealing with their own problems in high school.

Yes Sadie's parents did seem unaware or just didn't bother to care so much about their daughter having these anxiety but that's the comedy side. There were some parts that was funny and some parts for you to know to take serious. This movie is listed as comedy and i enjoyed it just for that reason.

I like how Sadie kept giving out early Christmas present as apart of her anxiety of the world will end.

Sadie's friend Brennan portray by (Clark Backo) want to live her life and not worry so much by getting through high school. Brennan is also the most important person to Sadie on her list.

I felt like Sadie's last day on earth show a side of people like Sadie with anxiety very well. I recommend you give this a watch it's always refreshing to me to see new talent faces like Morgan Taylor Campbell.

This movie is kind of like listening to a song with a lot of build up. You're like continuously waiting for the beat to drop...and then the movie ends. Solid effort though.
