Unsympathetic characters, especially the lead character. Waste of film making resources.

Finding a safe place can be hard when you don't know where you belong.This drama is hard to watch, but engaging. Vanessa Hudgens turns in a compelling performance as a feisty street kid who is searching for her identity amid hard choices. Rosario Dawson, James Earl Jones and Brendan Fraser fully inhabit their roles. The film addresses poverty, class, systemic racism, white privilege and the problems in the shelter system. Not a big film, but thought provoking.

I literally was not expecting this, i cried. this movie included so many down turns and it became worth it. this movie shown a young girl that did not give up and strive; although she was stubborn and had aggressive behavior you can tell she wanted different and better.!!this movie is highly recommended, i truly love it esp. because it was unexpected. it show me that others are not so fortunate even from birth. love it!!! Vanessa u did such a great great job! i love the fact that there are other women who can relate esp with the change at the in, having faith, believing in yourself, and having faith in God. Even through the worst circumstances a child is put in, every child is unique and can get ahead with consistency and that's what "Apple" portray in this awesome movie.

Review: This is an extremely deep and emotional movie about a girl who has a disturbing upbringing and ends up on the streets, pregnant. After trying to make a connection with her father, she finds herself with no were to go and a priest points her in the direction of a shelter which helps her through her pregnancy. She then finds out that there are other girls that are in her position and she finds friendship within the girls and the owner of the shelter. The performance from the leading character was brilliant and extremely real. Nowadays, all teenagers think that they know better than adults which is shown throughout this movie until the main character accepts the help from a stranger, played by James Earl Jones, who was a great choice. I really enjoyed this emotional drama, especially when you see how Apple's world totally turns around for the best. When you see the real girls at the end of the movie, it really does touch the heart and it makes the whole movie seem more real. Enjoyable! Round-Up: Apple, whose played by Vanessa Hudgens, is mostly known for her role in the High School Musical franchise and she has also played violent characters in Sucker a Punch and Spring Breakers. She was a great choice for the main role because she brought emotion and realism to her character. Rosario Dawson usually looks stunning in her movies, but she looked awful as the demon mother who doesn't know how to love and struggles with drug addiction but she played her part extremely well. Brendan Fraser wouldn't have been my first choice as the father of Apple but, surprisingly, I like watching him play a serious role, for a change. It's great to see James Earl Jones back on the big screen and he never fails to put in a emotional performance. I have to give full respect to the girls who have to go through these difficult situations in real life. Thank God that there are shelters that can help them through trying times.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $1.6million (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there emotional dramas about a homeless girl whose pregnant and has no way to turn. 6/10
