Watch for Nicky Whelan only who drifts in and out of the movie as the mom of one of the teens. The story is very silly and social media dominated.

This movie is terrible. It makes no sense and the acting is so bad and so unrealistic, it's infuriating and makes you want to jump off of a cliff. The characters are plain idiots and do things no normal person would do. This was one of the worst lifetime movies I've ever seen. Also, whoever got the rating to 6/10 is obviously involved with the film because this was pure garbage.

The high school girl is a 32 year old actress. The girl that plays her mother is only 7 years older than her in real life.

This is crazy you cant actually hire a kid to play a kid. I understand when they get a young 20 yr old because maybe the content is too sexual but a 30 year old is streaching it pretty far.

I read the reviews after watching. The actresses playing mother and daughter are close in age. It didn't bother me, although there was a close-up of Maddie once, and I thought she looked far older than 17.

I felt sorry for the teacher. I don't think they showed him getting his job back at the end.

My main issue was with the ending. I loved the beginning. Mean girl Sasha ruled the school, and newcomer Kelly decided to take her down a peg after Sasha outed her foster family as a recipient of Habitat for Humanity assistance. The "#SuckItSasha" part was fun.

Danny's premeditated death was somewhat justifiable, but a girl as streetwise as Kelly should have called the police on someone like that. The other death was a tragic accident.

Overall, I liked the movie, but the ending felt unfair. Maddie waited days to come forward about the accident, so her happily-ever-after prom ending felt unearned. And there was no resolution for Kelly at all. I think the story needed a different ending, perhaps showing Maddie's mom visiting Kelly in juvenile detention and reaffirming her forgiveness, concern, and support.

I was reading some reviews and just needed to rebut a few comments

Firstly, lifetime movies don't demonise people who have had bad lives/mental illness etc. However in most movies when there is a villain there is some reason behind it. People who are mentally well or have great lives, don't just go around killing people.

Secondly, the age gap was not noticeable to me. I actually thought the main actress was young. I would have never guessed 32.

Thirdly, the movie does show some bad decisions by the characters. Especially the end of the movie when the bf throws his phone into the water for solidarity lol. But overall the movie was enjoyable. It's not going to win any awards it's not deserving of those 1 Star reviews.
