Terrible acting

Funny that this movie is about smart students but the all the "actors" look brainless.

A very badly acted piece of trash.

Dreams, Decathlon, Drugs and Death

When a young teen joins her new school's decathlon team, she realizes that winning is everything to this team. If you aren't on board 100%, then you aren't going to fair well. This film was so much better then most Lifetime movies I've seen lately. Lead actress (Megan Ashley Brown) did a stellar job as Michelle, her emotions and portrayal of someone addicted to drugs was on point. The chemistry between Michelle and Katherine (Laurie Fortier) was very strong. High school mean girl, Keri (Angelina Folino) also did an amazing job making me really not like her. Nice to see strong actors and good directing on Lifetime, hope it becomes a pattern for them.

Just relax and learn

It's all too real. To whom much is given, Too much is expected. The competition between gifted, intellectual minds can run the risk of imbedding the notion of WIN AT ANY COST. This than creates a conundrum for those who provide intellectual guidance and empathy.

And that could lead to a lot of internal and external problems. Only the "Strong Survive" should be replaced with only The Wise Survive. This is not a particularly engaging film, but it is an extremely relevant film. Just another example of how the need for the right to be arrogant superceded the need for logical tolerance. We have conflicts all priorities.

MovieDog is a Dog who is so wrong!

One of the BEST LIFETIME stories ever!! Fantastic acting, I did not expect the acting to be so good! Happily surprised. The story follows a young girl and her Decathlon team. Drugs come into play and we get suspense and death. Lifetime did a great job with this one! Mom and daughter's relationship was very believable and heartfelt.

High school smarty club has big problems!

Michelle, part of a student club, has a driven coach who pressures them to excel at any cost creates plenty of issues! Will she quit the team or stay? You will have to tune in to find out. This wasn't anything special but worth one watch. Always enjoy Laurie Fortier, a Lifetime regular!
