Cheap

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2015)

I don't know if I am misunderstanding it all and this is a children's movie, if so, it's maybe adequate. But this movie appears to be nothing else but another attempt to corrupt naive girls and boys into the "You are the chosen one" story-type. In every single second I could feel how much this movie tried to be the next Harry Potter ripoff, just like Hunger Games did it. Juveniles get categorized into dumb superficial "fractions" like HP did it with Slytherin, Griffyndor etc. to address the teenage-viewers desire for belonging to a team and having a clear enemy, there's one of the most predictable and unsophisticated romance-story lines involved I've ever seen, the whole set and the actors make one feel like watching a low-budget production, there is so few thought and logic behind this movie, that the constant super-serious atmosphere just makes it even more of a second hand embarrassment. When I left the theater with my father I quickly tried to change the topic to avoid mocking around. If you are a 12 year old girl you will love this movie, if not, you'd find better entertainment in a "Happy Meal"
