The Wrong Student

"The Wrong Student" was a painful film to watch. Even the film's background was depressing as the common history of the two soccer players, Amber and Maddie, was based on the tragic circumstances of parents who were killed in auto accidents, leaving the two girls orphans. Amber has a contentious relationship with her aunt and guardian, Kelly Halligan. Amber resents what she perceives as a distant, uncaring aunt. For her part, Aunt Kelly was also distraught with the death of her brother and sister-in-law. With her niece in tow, Kelly has now moved from New York to a new location to start her own business and run away from the past. By contrast, Maddie does not have a kind guardian, and has somehow found a way to live by herself in an apartment while completing high school. She evidently has no one in her life to care for her. As a result, she has fixated on the new soccer coach, Dominic Antal. Maddie was far too sympathetic a character to be believable as a killer. And Dominic was so stupid that he was instantly drawn into her orbit. He should have recognized much sooner the threat posed by Maddie. Instead, he makes mistake after mistake in allowing her to wreak havoc on the lives of Coach Hendricks, the student Riley Jones, Aunt Kelly, and Amber. The best part of the film was the bonding of the aunt and her daughter, which took place gradually over the course of the traumatic events incited by Maddie. It would have been a better film with the character of Maddie removed. In that way, we could have seen the heartfelt bonding of two people coming together in a shared expression of grief. Instead of "The Wrong Student," this film should have been "The Right Aunt."

Didn't seem bad but I literally could not watch it any longer with the blur they added around scenes often that interfered with the actors own faces. What was that all about? I had to turn it off just couldn't do it anymore. Seems like it would have been a fine, along the lines LMN movie but just couldn't stand the horrible picture. It was like publish and someone couldn't figure out the fading scale.

Ive never written a movie review & I am a certified LMN fan; with that said this one was bad. The best part about this film is the casts attractiveness. Otherwise the plots got more holes than moth eaten lace! I watched the whole movie hoping it would get better, knowing there wasn't much redemption. There are even edit errors, girl has 2 ponytails in the beginning scene & 1 ponytail 2 minutes later in the same scene. How anyone could give this a higher rating than 4, IDK. I guess it could be a good drinking movie?

Terrible story Terrible acting Weird characters You would have thought the least the producers would have done is had the Football coach learn how to kick a ball. Terrible movie

Pet peeve. I know these are LMFC (Lifetime Movies for Chicks) and the acting and directing will be average at best. But damn, even in high school you learn to act with zeal and gusto. In this flick, 17 year-old kids are playing socceer on the most lame fashion. The whole movie is half-hearted. Was there no director? The storyline is fine, but the acting and directing were below par. Even for a LMFC.
