This trash is what passes for entertainment now days..... At least Meryl Streep isn't in it, I suppose. 1 star for that small mercy..
I'lk keep this short: one of the worst films I have ever had to sit through. Predictable, derivitive, silly, pointless, contrived, lame, unoriginal. No surprises here, just silly, predictable plot twists that we see coming a half hour (or more) before the nonsense arrives. I expected more and, well, got less. I would expect this trite mess and tripe from an ambitious, but unoriginal second or third year film student. I imagine many will find this film entertaining, but for the discerning viewer, it will just rate a "meh" or similar. Not funn6, not believeagle with only a couple of (minor) redeeming characters. It is so predictable.
Favorite scene with Diana (Linda Cardellini) - Stephanie coming to visit her regarding Emily/Claudia. Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) - Pretending to kill Sean to get a murder confession out of Emily, and revealing that she got it on camera after Emily shoots Sean for real. Emily (Blake Lively) - Her deadly reunion with Faith - her twin - also played by Blake Lively. Emily's real name is Hope.
To bump up the ratings, thought I write a short review. Blake & Anna are fun to watch, solid acting and they had great chemistry together. Appreciated the pace of the movie and wasn't rushed, so the story is well told in my opinion. Some twist and turns which keeps you engaged. Don't have much else to say than that I really enjoyed it, would recommend it to friends and would watch again sometime. Enjoyed every minute of it.
What starts as a mild drama turns gradually into a dark thriller. Hitchcockian to be sure. Anna's comedic timing and Blake's nastiness are flawless.
