What About Your Friends: Weekend Getaway

This film was RIGHT ON. I was so impressed with the writing and the performance by all but especially Angell Conwell. Her acting is so real and believable. Every film or show she does she draws you into her character. Her acting range is from street to classy - she can play them all. The first thing I saw her in years ago was Sabrina The Teenage Witch and even with that small guest role she was an actress you remember. She should have her own show. But getting back to the movie - it was definitely a good movie of the week for UPN. They should make that a series. You can tell that Keshia has been out for a while but she was good and the other actress Monica was just a little over the top but believable as well, they made a good trio. My sister who's 16 cried, laughed and throughly enjoyed it. UPN needs more of that type of show. I'm suprised it's not a series, because that definitely made a good 1st showing.

Where can I find the original version of "What About Your Friends", with Monica Calhoun? I would like to purchase it as well as Christmas at Water's Edge. These movies are great tools/resources for Theatre/Performing arts students who face adversity. I would like to do a comparison contrast activity on the two versions of What about your friends. Anyone out there who knows where to find it please let me know.

I loved this version as well. The story is inspirational and uplifting to young people who aspire to fulfill their dreams. I am a high school teacher in need of some inspiring materials. Please Help. Thanks Jeanine

The only real reason I watched this hackneyed tripe was because I wanted to see if Rudy (Keishia Knight Pullium)from the Cosby Show could still act. I was surprised to find that the answer is,eh...sort of. What About Your Friends: Weekend Getaway is basically a modern day take on the 95' movie of the same name (minus the getaway), but this time Lisa from Saved by the Bell is not here to save it. Just like the original, three high school friends, one shy-one insecure-one thuggish, are approaching their graduation and are worrying about how they will pay for college. Luckily, this time around there is the "California Scholarship Retreat," where the girls are able to display their "talents" in order to win college scholarships. The overall quality of the movie is mediocre, which is all that can be excepted from it's lackluster cast and utterly predictable story line. But don't worry about the friends, everything turns out just fine.

I love the different roles of parenting that were portrayed. The various personalities in the friendship were awesome. Most of all I applauded the many issues that were presented in the movie: from peer pressure, family relations, to accountability and maturity. I would love to see this in a weekly episode. Our youth need more down to earth (real) - positive sitcoms/movies before their eyes. Great Job!!!!!

The movie is so great it's my second favorite movie.It was exciting,funny,excellent,and interesting!But,before it came out I knew it was going to be entertaining since Keshia Knight Pulliam was in it!It was a fascinating movie!
