Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Aug 24 What a sweet story about an abandoned boy who's fallen for a local girl. I would've preferred to see more of ambers character. I have such a great appreciation for art and for those who create it. The whole forgery part of the story was great and the ending was bitter sweet. Alfred Molina played a great bad guy. Tim Treakle See more Courtney S. @RT53252080 May 7 Nostalgic as a girl who grew up with a crush on Josh H. Good movie, the 2010’s came out with a great selection of young teen action films - this is one of the top ones, up there with ‘Agent Cody Banks’ See more 02/02/2017 Terrible script drags this into beautiful Pacific Ocean. Poor lines and acting from some well-known actors make one squirm in the seat. Great setting in Carmel and some beautiful looking scenes do not make up for a very poor film from what appears as a promising tale. Awkward and awful. See more 12/04/2016 This was boring and had no romance and minimal storyline. See more 11/21/2015 The scenery/artwork is pretty and you're compelled in the beginning to feel poorly for the main character (you could tell even here that Josh Hutcherson was going places, for his acting is good, though the script is not) but it physically pains me to see the plot pan out. The leaps in logic are tremendous. I'm talking volatile acts of violence glossed over one scene later CONTINUOUSLY (there must be something in the water making everyone so forgiving), occurrences in the movie that never affect the plot or come to light again, and awful/non-realistic conversations between characters. I felt compelled at one point to pause the movie and start a screenplay of my own for this movie made it look extremely easy to sell a movie. I only continued to watch for the laughable content (and not surprisingly the resolution was unsatisfying). See more panayiota k @Penny672 09/08/2015 Had the potential to be an interesting story but something was off. I'm guessing this is meant for Josh Hutcherson fans. At least i enjoyed Lauren Bacall See more Read all reviews
