***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I first want to say that i loved this film because of the age of the characters. Most reviews i read (the negative ones) are saying that this film is not being presented well because of the age for the players. I just think that at that age it is very dificult to play those emotions, wich in my opinion are played very well. The film has en intriging start wich makes you think that it might not be worth while to see it but the closer you get to the end it becomes more clear why this film isn't so bad.
For instance, the story begins with the therapist finding out that sebastian has taken her daughter, therefore trying to get him for it he gets a new girl as easy as that. It's quite small performance to pull that off. The further we go we see that kathryn tries to get sebastian as far as destroying the rep. of an innocent girl just to get payback for here ex-boyfriend dumping her. He thinks it is no challange at all and presents a new challange. This new challange is "getting the new headmasters daughter before school starts". Kathryn thinks that even this is out of his leage. I at first would agree but as we continue we see that he is indeed made progress with his "victim". At the end he does get the victim and he becomes the pray for kathryn. She gets him in the worst way possible wich also gets him killed and she even tries to make it up during the speech at his funural. But before our little "marsha grady" can pull it off she has been black mouthed by annette (sebastians first, last and only love), that causes her to burst in to tears and probebly getting arrested.
There the foul play ends with death, a lost love and a mary sunshine turned into the tramp of the campus.
The story line thickens at the end and all three (sebastian, annette and kathryn) really live up into their role and play as if it were real. The first and second time a saw it i personally almost burst out in tears myself....
I gave it an 8 because of the lesser quality of the begin but the film was surely worth every cent i spent for it.
