Minnie

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2007)

This is a film that I would never have watched normally. A sort-of-remake of Rear Window with teenagers? What a terrible idea! But still, on a long flight with nothing better to do I was curious enough. Expecting to not give it more than 10 minutes I was very pleasantly surprised. It not a great film but very well done and entertaining. I liked the idea to have the the hero of the story to be under house arrest instead of having a broken leg. The love angle was a bit foreseeable, but quite okay. And I loved it how Kale becomes jealous and plays some cool (i.e. freaky to young ears) 70ies music to spoil the party Ashley was given. She understandingly upset comes over and he asks "What is? Don't you like Minnie Riperton?" This is missing in the quote section. To me the highlight of the film.
And I should not forget to mention David Morse. Great actor.
