How sad is this?
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
The film shows the dramatic impact that mental illnesses have on our youth
