Reviews

bettycjung 6/2/18. Greta (Duff) is the nightmare 17 year-old you wouldn't want to ever know. Feel sorry for the grandparents (Burnstyn and Murphy) who have been recruited by a errant daughter (Leo) who has her own issues to babysit their obnoxious granddaughter for the summer. Total drama all day, all night, all the time, Duff's character was extremely annoying throughout. Burnstyn and Murphy stole the movie, along with Evan Ross from Duff. Ross plays a young teen trying to get back on track with his life and can see right through Duff's drama and calls her out on it. Even though there was a happy ending for everyone, Duff's character was truly one who gives Adolescence a bad name.

laughtonrachel I watched this movie when I was just 14 years old. Now I am 21 and still enjoy watching this wonderful movie. Perhaps I am biased because I can relate to the main characters depression and stubbornness. However, every time I watch this movie I learn something new about my life and I have an increased passion to continue moving forward. According to Greta reflects the painful emotions young adults go through during different milestones in their life and how painful it is to cope with grief. However, it also teaches the viewer that if you decide to commit suicide or act destructively out of anger and hatred towards the world you are only going to hurt the ones you love the most.

SnoopyStyle Greta (Hilary Duff) is banished by her hated mother to her grandparents (Michael Murphy, Ellen Burstyn) in the New Jersey seaside retirement town for the summer in an effort to save her 3rd marriage. She lost her father. She's 17 and vows to kill herself before her 18th birthday. She gets a waitress job at the local boardwalk restaurant to pay for cable TV and is adorably rude at it. She tries to shock her grandparents with the juvenile delinquent cook Julie (Evan Ross) but it backfires on her. They kinda like him and she likes him too. However she is still pulled to her darker side.Hilary Duff is trying to do a little something with a slight edge to it. She does a good enough job although she still needs work accessing the darker tones in her performance. There is a little something promising going on here but it doesn't get beyond that. Evan Ross is not nearly charismatic enough. It's good that Hilary tried to go darker but she's not really successful at it.

jane diaz I really liked this movie. I am 58 years old and got into Hilary Diff with my daughter watching Lizzie Mcguire. (my daughter is 15 now) I am happy to see her whenever I do. I thought the scene with Ellen Burstyn and Duff at the end when she explains to Greta how much life's experiences enrich you and make you who you become was truly touching. I think this is a great film for teenagers who think they know everything. I don't think Duff is the best actress ever but she stole our hearts playing Lizzie and we will always enjoy watching her. I hope she gets the chance to blossom as an actress...I think she's a great role model and still love her. Don't know why this little film got no notice...I think it's a gem. Oh and the notebook...the animations were FABULOUS!!! so true to what a young talented person might keep. I loved the notebook, really excellent work!
