Mai fidarsi di mia figlia

This is the typical movie where one of the spouse see the light and the other one is so dumb and lost that they couldn't see the light even if it's right in their eyes. The father was unbearable to watch.

Ok plot but the actress who played the evil was such a terrible actress. She was way over the top and exaggerated every scene.

There's no way this one girl could so easily manipulate an entire family the way she did. In reality she would've been tossed out of that house after her first night there.

It was frustrating to watch these characters so poorly written to be to easily manipulated and possessing zero thinking skills. The mother was the only one who noticed what was going on, but even she wouldn't come right out and call the psycho girl out.

And the Dad with the non stop goofy grin on his face throughout the whole movie was so annoying you want to punch that grin right off his face. I'm rating it 4 stars because I liked the psycho girl.

I liked Samatha and how diabolical she was. Some times her acting was unbearable, but all in all I liked her. Plot was pretty standard, not the first time I've seen something like this but it was at least decent. However, It's a little far-fetched to believe any sane family would trust her. And the friends were really clueless as well. There's no mistaking the feeling of someone holding onto your foot while you're under water, so it's strange her friends didn't make a big deal about it.

One of the things that really put me off was the almost r*pe scene. Samatha told the guy that the daughter "like it rough," not being forced. There's a big difference, so that scene was really strange imo.

If it weren't for the extremely underwhelming ending I would've liked this more

The movie has some good and bad points.

Firstly the wacko of the week is a jealous daughter from the first marriage who comes to stay with her Dad and his second wife and kids. Dad feels guilty. Step mom notices the wacko isn't qutie right. Wacko proceeds to manipulate her half sister and stir trouble with the parent's marriage. It's quite scary because her actions are possible and I know of some crazy half sisters who are almost as bad.

Bad points: Matt Dallas is such an experienced actor but as Dad he acts stiffly with a silly smile and his behavior at the ending is too understated for what is going on. Was it the director?

OK for one watch.
