Adolescentes Malvadas

I really liked this film. I thought it brought exactly what I expected, mean sorority girls and brainless humor, all wrapped up in a pink package called Legacy. I think some people on here took this film way to seriously, in no way was it supposed to be a moving, life changing piece of cinema, and I thought the writing was a fairly accurate depiction of sorority life yet also highly exaggerated. The whole film is an exaggeration...including the blond wig. To me it seems its on purpose, in fact I think Hailey's character even makes a comment about her hair falling out. If you are headed to blockbuster and want to laugh and be entertained, this is the movie for you. To me its what happens when Heathers meets Super Bad.

I'm almost certain this movie will get low votes on here but that is no reason not to watch this. If you are expecting a high budget teen movie you wont get that but what you will get is an hour and a half of brainless entertainment. The acting is decent enough for the plot which is pretty much given away in the trailer but it goes well with the silliness of the film. The main character although you are supposed to love her can challenge this since some of her lines are slightly over the top bitchy. It's also a concept tackled before in slightly different ways but my guess is that if you like films like Jawbreaker and Heathers, although this does not compare in the slightest it is still a good watch and a good film to pass a night with.

The true movie theme was totally unexpected as compared to the trailer on TV, so I personally have to classify this movie after watching the DVD as a dramatic movie and not romantic. I personally expect a horror movie to be for the most part light and frothy, and somewhat fantasy. However this film was superb in every way, especially the continuity and great writing.my husband also liked it-saying it wasn't at all what he expected.I can't say enough how pleased I am with how this film evolved. I knew what to expect considering it stars Haylie Duff (an amazing actress). Although some aspects of the movie are predictable. At least one critic noted this and cast it as being a very poor imitation. I found it much better plotted and the acting is every bit as good.

Haylie Duff (Napoleon Dynamite, Material Girls) stars as sorority big sister Lana Stevens, whose main goal is to weed out the finest and freshest pledges to Omega Kappa (aka OK) so that she has fun, cute Barbie dolls to match their image. Her favorite of all of the potential new sisters is Emily (Innes), who is cute as a button, but her grades aren't good enough to make it. There is one loophole -- Emily can get in if a legacy (a descendant of a previous OK member) doesn't try to join. Alas, there is a legacy pledging this year, a pudgy and geeky eyesore named Katie (Albrecht, "Entourage"), daughter to the biggest contributor to the OK sorority. Lana has no choice but to let her in, tarnishing their perfect sorority image, but she has a sure-fire plan -- she can make Katie's experience so miserable that she will not want to join.

Obviously this movie is a bit of a fantasy, which is fine. This movie could have been funnier. There were moments that made us laugh, but then those moments just fizzled out.

I realize that the wig has been getting a lot of mention on here, and the thing is… it is just SO bad. Hailey looks better with her real hair. There are so many close ups on the wig that you can't help but notice that it isn't her real hair. It distracts from the movie and makes the viewer ask questions. Was her character supposed to be wearing wig for unknown plot purposes? Will she at any moment tear off the wig Scooby Doo style to reveal she is someone else? Was Hailey a brunette at the time and the script called for a blond? Would it be so bad if the character had dark hair? Why did they choose wig with such BIG hair? Anyway, the lighting was really good and the set designer really did follow the "pink" theme. It does look like everyone had fun making this movie.

In conclusion: It isn't good and it isn't "soooo bad you have to see it."
