SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
YoungGun77 Rarely do I see a film I care to review. But I felt forced to warn the world as to how horrible this movie is. Some of the worst direction in even average television history, the acting nearly as bad as the direction, and absurd writing make this film one of the worst to reach audiences of all time.How this film was funded, put into production, and actually sold is mind boggling. There is nothing more to say than I already have. "Dead at 17" is just as bad as its title suggests, and I can guarantee you one thing - This is a film full of cast and crew who will never work a significant gig in their life.Don't waste your time. Consider yourself warned.
RobinMBlind OK...so it's NOT the greatest movie of all time but anyone who thinks it's the WORST simply hasn't seen enough OTHER Lifetime Movies! The plot is well thought out. Of COURSE it's a bit far-fetched and sometimes sappy! But it's a MOVIE (fer the luv uv of Christmas! I especially like the work of Danielle Kind, who plays Jason's older sister. I think hers is a compelling screen presence. The characters of the older brother villain and his clueless buddies are well-portrayed and, as is to be expected in any Lifetime Movie, there are several very good-looking people. The script is at least adequate and the videography is QUITE good...with the intense facial close-ups. Clearly, this movie was produced by someone who knew what he was doing. By LMN standards, I say it's pretty good!
edwagreen I thought this was an outstanding film.A young fellow, with college looming and so much to look forward to, is lured to a party with three other guys and a stripper. When one of the guys wants action from the stripper, they quarrel and he kills her. Our guy reluctantly agrees to help in ditching the body but is consumed by guilt. When he tells the friend who killed that they have to go to the police, the friend and his brother drug him to death.It appears that the guy killed himself for breaking up with his girlfriend as well as a college rejection. His mother refuses to believe that this was a suicide and pursues her own investigation. The film is a good one as she comes to the truth. It shows the steps that she has taken along the way.Well worth the watch.
AnyaAngel22 This movie is hysterically bad. I knew within the first 5 minutes that is would be the worst Lifetime movie I ever saw, and I was right. The kids who played the villain brothers were horrible in this, and Cody was creepy ! He looked like one of those kids on Buffy in season 1 who turned into a hyena. The plot of the movie was enough to keep me watching to the end. A night of fun between 4 friends ends badly when the creepy hyena pushed a stripper down the stairs to her death. Our hero, Jason, and his friend Ty want to call the police. The hyena brothers don't. Jason is a good kid and it eats him up for the *spoilers*2 whole days he was alloted to live. Since he mentioned going to the police as a group, crazy Cody decided to KILL him. Not threaten, not beat up, but kill. Riiiiiigggght. Very realistic. My favorite part came at the climax of the movie with his family after the truth is revealed, but I will make you watch it to find out. It is hysterical. Watch it if you have nothing else to do and need a good laugh.
