    Interesting lifetime movie!

    We saw this last night under the title Deadly Transaction. Riley and Erica are NOT your typical high schoolers. They print counterfeit money and spend it lavishly. The movie stars Sarah Butler who always does a great job as the relative who discovers their secret as well as their lowlife art teacher who has an unpaid debt. He also discovers their secret. What happens next? Tune in to find. out Only thing that was missing is HOW the high schoolers got involved with this life of crime? Definitely would watch again.

    Pretty Good Flick for a "B" Movie

    I would not say this is a perfectly written script, but, frankly, the plot points are solid and the acting is pretty good. What strikes me the most about the story is the base realism the high schoolers display in thinking (to paraphrase), "We're too smart to get caught. No worries." As a teacher, I see that as a very realistic viewpoint for many young people today in our "freebie society."

    Bravo!

    Ignore the bad reviews

    I don't know why so many people post negative reviews which are unduly harsh on this website.

    Anyway, I saw this and I thought it was pretty damn good! The acting was actually good and the movie kept me interested throughout.

    It also starred Sarah Butler, who is always fantastic!

    8/10.

    Unintended hilarity

    In a moment of weakness I watched this fluffy, unbelievable, wreck of a movie. The basic premise could work: teenage counterfeiters use their criminal skills to buy a bunch of expensive swag with phoney money. But the execution is often unintentionally laughable. The last time I watched a movie where I thought "that would never happen!" so often was Sharknado. Tweens may enjoy this, if only because every adult in the film is clueless, inept, or both.

    Would be good for young teens and "tweens"

    This movie is something that would be good at your 14 year old daughter's sleepover. The two main characters are pretty static and predictable but the antagonists and supporting characters are entertaining especially near the end. The acting depicts teenagers how a 12-14 year old would think of teenagers which would explain why older people are less entertained. Not unlike the depiction of teenagers in riverdale. Also bonus points for attractive people.
